I found the treatment thorough. Practitioner took time to understand what was happening with my physical body and; identified the areas of most concern. Room was relaxing and the soft background music was soothing. My only feed back is I would of liked to be a warmer in the room. It wasn't unbearable however for me warmer. Some practitioners use an electric blanket on the bed if they don't want the room too hot .. this works well and keeps the heat consistent. I will go back and would recommend

I had the best experience with Kaori yesterday that I talked about you to my friends and co-workers. Your hand was so gentle, I didn't feel any pain or soreness after the massage and slept well that night. My co-workers noticed the difference in me when I came back to work.

What an interesting but intriguing and fascinating experience this was! It felt magical, the location to me looked like and felt like Harry Potter. The lane his aunt, uncle and cousin lived in. The Kesae treatment was more balancing the energy flow of your body. I totally felt the change in my posture in an instant. I could breathe better. It was so relaxing I felt like I was sleeping for ages. I have booked another appointment because I believe in this and Kaori is very welcoming and intuitive.
