KARADANAORU
Body heals itself.
The body naturally knows how to move toward balance.
Discomfort is not always the result of damage.
Excess tension and protective responses can build up, taking the body away from its natural way of functioning.
KaradaNaoru does not use firm pressure or forceful adjustments.
By observing the body’s responses, we create an opening for unnecessary tension to ease.
Subtracting, rather than adding.
Making room for the body to find its own way back.
That is KaradaNaoru.

Writing a blog since 2004::https://keepmyword.hatenablog.com/
As a teenager, I left to study in Edinburgh, Scotland. Since then I've lived in London, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City — years that gave me a deep respect for how differently each culture understands the body, health, and wellbeing.
I've also led workshops in Los Angeles, sharing my approach to body alignment and self-regulation with people from all kinds of backgrounds.
Across more than 3,000 sessions, I keep returning to one simple question: what is the body's natural state, when nothing is getting in its way?
The name Karadanaoru comes from a Japanese phrase meaning "the body heals itself."
My role isn't to fix you, or to add anything to your body. It's to help remove whatever may be getting in the way of its own ability to settle and rebalance.
This isn't an approach built on adding more. It's built on taking away.
You're welcome to carry on exactly as you are — or you can give yourself one chance to find out what's possible.
By appointment only.
