My Story

I first experienced the power of Chinese medicine in 2004 after a car accident that threatened to severely limit my mobility and put me on a lifelong regimen of “pain management” medications (aka opioids).  My doctors told me to prepare for the fact that I may never ride a bicycle again.  Not satisfied with that prognosis, I took my healing journey in a different direction. Working several times a week with an acupuncturist for 6 months got me back on my bicycle for short rides. By the end of a year, with consistent work and strength training, I signed up, trained for, and completed a 100-mile bicycle ride! Over 20 years later, I still get regular acupuncture treatments and remain pain (and painkiller) free, active and loving my life.

Rikiko Yamaguchi, CMT

Hi. My name is Rikiko Yamaguchi, I moved from Yokohama, Japan to the U.S in 2011. In Japan, I was a pharmacist for over 10 years, but always loved massage and bodywork. Ever since I was young, I enjoyed giving my parents massages to relax them. So, I decided to go back to school and graduated from a medical massage college in Japan to combine the science of pharmacy and the healing skills of massage. In 2020 I became a licensed massage therapist in California focusing on the nurturing art of Swedish massage, I am also trained with sports and deep tissue massage.

As a special treat, I am the first (and currently only certified) massage therapist to bring the Japanese technique of CS60 into the United States. CS60 is a healing modality developed by Mr. Nishimura in Japan. The massage technique utilizes a specialized magnetic and copper tool designed to break down toxins, release waste matter and rebalance the electromagnetic field in our bodies to improve overall functions. I am proud to be a part of sharing the technique of CS60 to southern California and then on to the rest of the United States.

My motto: Heal Yourself to Heal the World!
