TESTIMONIALS

" Dr. Kaneko, I found myself in the conundrum of ...."the tao which can be spoken is not the true tao...." ....I started a poem....a word collage...and then came up with this reflection:

Doin Class to me is a gentle invitation to self-healing.
I learned in the class that combining essences of different Asian disciplines such
as Shiatsu and Chi Gong, techniques of meditation,
self-massage, breathing, and philosophy are practiced
to restore, transcend, and invigorate the body, mind,
soul, and spirit. Through Doin the Chi / Ki of
childhood can be rediscovered. Healing and growth may
then begin anew. Doin means a great deal to me.... "

"Dr Kaneko is a genius. I've seen him many times for recurrent sciatic pain, triggered by two slipped discs in my lower back, which is both severe and disabling. Every time, with his experienced touch, he diffuses the pain completely and has me walking again - incredible!"

"Dr. Kaneko, you treated me over twenty five years ago and the authenticity of that treatment's value created a long lasting - and potent - memory, like I have of favorite fruits, first love, nurturing places, etc...

Your shiatsu touched - and joined in with - my being in a natural, unimposing way, and so, decades later, when I had the need, your shiatsu arose in my mind much the same as clear water arises in my mind when I am thirsty. Your shiatsu, like water, came to me from without to circulate within, and because its degree of authenticity, ( absorbable, natural purity ? ) is so high, it became a part of me.That's why I call it authentic shiatsu."

- All the best, Bob

"I was refereed to the Dr.Kaneko by my daughter who studied under his Shiatsu Classes.

I had suffered from migraine headaches for over 20 years. They generally lasted for 2-3 days and during that time O could not bear loud noises, strong odors or bright light. Frequently I was nauseous and could not eat during the attack and had an acupuncturist and shiatsu treatment with Dr.Kaneko. I left with a huge smile on my face and felt as though i was walking six inches off the ground. My pain was gone and I have not had another migraine attack in 20 years since then!

I continued to see Dr. Kaneko whenever I have pain and always find relief. He has treated my sciatica pain,acute stomach ailments, IBS, as well as muscle and nerve pain resulting from as auto accident.

I put a great deal of faith in Dr. Kaneko and his professional, kind and understanding care."

" Aloha Dr. Kaneko,

I hope that you remember me, I live on the big island of Hawaii. I received my Anma training with Don Polipovitch
who studied with you. My husband, and I studied privately with him. I went on to get my Massage license and develop a thriving practice. I would like to share the wonderful healing benefits of the Anma technique in Hawaii. So many of my clients have
gotten such remarkable results from the treatments that I see there is a need for this here. I seem to be the only one doing this here.
I also see the importance of the Ampuku and Doin discipline and would like to make that available to my students and clients in the future.."

"I came to see Dr. Kaneko two month ago. My mother had died and I was trouble sleeping and eating. I was experiencing severe tension headaches and numbness in different parts of my body. Dr.Kaneko worked on balancing and opening up the energy channels in my body.He taught me breathing and meditation techniques to calm my mind. He encouraged and reinforced my own knowledge of self healing. I learned specific location of acupuncture points to to help me sleep and stimulate my immune system. Dr. Kaneko spoke to me about " Divine waiting " - importance of being patient with my journey,that to experience the pain and grief would lead to a greater knowledge and awareness as I healed. He encourage me to believe that all experiences are necessary for growth. Slowly but surely my symptoms disappeared. My sleep returned to normal and my energy followed along with a big smile. The beuty of Dr. Kaneko's treatment is that it connects the mind ,body and soul. Working together to create harmony and peace to aid in the process of self healing. Thank you Dr.Kaneko My best to you."

"I have had experience with Tao Healing Arts Center for many years(15). I began as a student of Dr, Kaneko. I was pregnant at the time and had to stop classes toward the end of my pregnancy. My child had turned breach and the Dr's became worried about his position. After a treatment from Dr. Kaneko my child had turned around and remained in the proper position. I have studied varied forms of metaphysical healing practices and found the most consistently effective and the best results have come from my studies at your center and from treatment I have received form Dr. Kaneko.
I and my entire family have gone to Dr. Kaneko for a long list of problems, migraine ( I don't have them any more after his treatment), lower back ailments and sports injuries, car accidents. I have found that East meets West approach to healing and preventative medicine and healthy discipline as taught and practiced by Dr. Kaneko has been invaluable in my life and the lives of my children. Thank you all for being there for me and my family."

"Dear Dr. Kaneko,

I am one of your graduates and teaching your form at a massage school in Las Vegas. It is so nice to hear from you. I am happy to hear that you are still doing what you love, without the stress. And congratulations on the completion of your new book. I just ordered it. I was also excited to see your name in one of our school textbooks. Tappan’s Handbook of Healing Massage Techniques lists you as one of America’s Shiatsu pioneers, along with Shizuto Masunaga, Shizuko Yamamoto, Toshiko Phipps, and Koichi Nakamura."
