My Journey into Medicine
I've always wanted to help the planet. Ever since elementary school, I've had this dream of becoming a life scientist. But something happened in the summer of my second year of high school that changed everything for me.
I was walking from Okayama Station, just watching the flow of people and cars going in all directions, and I started wondering about life and death. Why do we live and die, repeating this endless cycle?
As I was lost in thought, I overheard a woman say, "Only love between people remains in the universe." Her words hit me hard, and I couldn't stop the tears.
In that moment, I knew I didn't want to be a researcher anymore. I wanted to be a doctor, someone who works directly with people and is deeply involved in life.
When I was a fourth-year student at Kyoto University Medical School, we were given three months to do our own independent research. While many of my classmates went off to Europe and the U.S. to work on cutting-edge cardiac surgeries and immunology research, I decided to go in a different direction. I chose to attend a seminar on Tibetan Medicine at the Tibetan Medicine and Astrology Institute in Dharamsala, India.
This experience really shaped my approach to medicine.
I've learned three important lessons from Tibetan Medicine.
First, medicine is all about the holistic interaction between doctor and patient, addressing the whole person - body, mind, spirit, and energy.
Second, the root cause of all illness is "ignorance".
And third, true healing guides a person to enlightenment.
About Me
After graduating from university, I gained experience in general practice at Maizuru Municipal Hospital and Rakuwakai Otowa Hospital, and specialized in rheumatology and collagen diseases at Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital. Driven by a commitment to the fundamental treatment of rheumatic diseases, I sought out various treatment methods, traveling domestically and internationally. I trained in past-life therapy with Dr. Brian Weiss in the U.S., explored trauma release approaches using metakinetics in the U.K., and studied Ayurveda and healing while stationed in India.
Upon returning to Japan in 2014, I gave birth to my second daughter. The significant improvement in her food allergies through vibrational medicine inspired me to move to Saga in 2018 to complete training in bioresonance medicine at Y.H.C. Yayama Clinic.
In 2020, I opened this naturopathic clinic in Kyoto.
What I Do: Medical Kinesiology
Let me explain how I conduct my consultations. I use a technique called Kinesiology, which involves muscle testing to identify the root causes of symptoms. This helps me determine if there are issues with certain foods like leaky gut syndrome or food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, toxin accumulation, and energy imbalances. I also consider environmental factors like electromagnetic and geopathic stress, as well as hidden infections such as H. pylori, Candida, or parasites.
Based on these findings, I estimate the underlying causes of illness and, if necessary, perform conventional medical tests. Then, I create a treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs, prioritizing the most important issues. I call this approach Medical Kinesiology.
Here’s what makes Medical Kinesiology unique:
-
I tap into the body's wisdom to figure out the root causes of symptoms and conditions like leaky gut syndrome and leaky brain. I also check how well medications and supplements might work.
-
A key part of my work is identifying and addressing anything that’s blocking healing.
What Blocks Healing
In my consultations, I pay special attention to potential hidden factors that could be blocking the healing process. Even the most effective treatments can be less effective if there are underlying obstacles. These are two types of factors to consider: massive psychological reversals and invasive energies.
1. Massive Psychological Reversals:
Sometimes, even if you want to be healthy, your subconscious might be holding you back. This condition, introduced by Dr. Roger Callahan in 1991, can block natural healing and make treatments less effective. For example, if someone wants to lose weight, they might end up eating more instead. When this state affects all areas of life, it’s called a massive psychological reversal, often triggered by significant traumas or stress. People in this state unconsciously choose paths that lead to more suffering. If I notice this in my patients, I use kinesiology to find and address the underlying traumas. This might involve past-life therapy and techniques like EMDR to help resolve these deep-seated issues.
2. Invasive Energies:
These are external energies that disrupt your body’s energy balance. They can come from things like radiation, electromagnetic waves, and environmental stress, as well as spiritual influences such as lingering spirits, ancestral energies, earthbound spirits, mythical creatures, or even extraterrestrials.
My Goal: Soul-Awakening Medicine
Through the process of investigating and treating from energetic, nutritional, detoxification, environmental, infectious, and psychological perspectives, I aim to help each person reassess their way of life and thought patterns, restoring their innate brilliance. By leveraging Medical Kinesiology and listening to the body’s wisdom while integrating conventional medicine, I strive to support the evolution and growth of the soul, in alignment with the Tibetan medicine teaching that “true healing guides a person to enlightenment.”
