while experiencing the beauty of nature
Somewhat uniquely, we organize our lifestyle domains through the lens of the Chinese Wu Shing or Five Element / Five Phase Model. This enables an integration between Lifestyle Factors and the performance of the body's functions; one grounded in research, efficient in producing holistic outcomes, and that has stood the test of millenia.
Step-by-solid-step Embodying the Essentials to Healing, Health and Enjoyment of life. Although over the arc of the coaching relationship we focus on specific goals (could be more consistent routines, achieving personal goals, or general healthier lifestyle), which most often include a neuro-biological approach to sustained habit change. This often means coming back to the same goal again and again until it's solid.
All our therapies involve at least some health mentorship or coaching (even asking about the areas that need the most work is a form of motivational partnership-oriented change). However, a health-coaching only arrangement is for someone who wants to work on their lifestyle and does not want or need somatic (touch-based; or mindful-movement-based) therapy (we do think these mind-body therapies can accelerate the process of changing our programming).
Although we do offer two-hour health conversations; as a one-off sort of pointer; it is typical to work in one, three, six, and twelve month increments. This is due to the nature of sustainable habit change - it takes time for change to set; and there are layers of old habit that we must transform through to actually make a lasting change. So in a three month time window it's possible to achieve a sense of the foundations; the work that needs to be done; and how to actually do it. However, with, or without or support; it can often take up to a year to "set" the change for life (Here, we speak about the neuro-biological process of change we often refer to).
Not everyone wants or needs that level of change . . . some want some conceptual foundations they can apply to nourish them for life; and no matter the length of time we work; we can guarantee that's what you'll get - simple, life-nourishing wisdom.
Our typical format for health-coaching only includes a sixty minute intake, some pre-paperwork (here we get to know each other), bi-weekly thirty minute phone calls; and twice-weekly check-ins (this is usually a text just reminding you of our work together, with availability for short five-min phone calls if needed).
We recommend at least three months to feel the change . . .although one month can be a way to know us; and to learn more about the approach; and at least get some useful pointers. Learn more about our packages and pricing here.
In a typcal bodywork or "relaxed alignment" session, we start with assessing for tension in the major areas: shoulders, hips, wrists, and ankles; then getting more specific to your unique goals, needs, constitution; and inner landscape. It is common for us to provide breathing or meditation instructions; and to share postural ideas or activities that can be applied at home.
Our approach to bodywork incorporates over ten years of postural awareness training (in Tai Chi and Medical Chi Gong, and osteopathic manual therapies); and six years of Eastern Medical School (acupuncture channels and organ systems, asian massage, manual therapies and internal medicine).
We focus on harmonizing imbalances in the physical and internal structures of the body, which may include organ system imbalances, effects of prior trauma (physical and/or mental-emotional), and of general overwork or wear and tear on the body.
At heart we are educators, who help you remember a feeling of tranquility and ease in all movements, gradually working towards greater range of motion, inner strength and freedom.
What does our educational process look like?
We guide you in a gentle step-by-step process towards lasting change, teaching you (or helping you remember) fundamental concepts for safe physical activity that can continue to nourish and develop throughout the rest of life.
Our approach is ensconced in our training with Zen Wellness Five-Element Medical Chi Gong - a foundation whose work with the retired community in Sun City, AZ not only helped seniors get back onto their feet (some from wheel-chairs and walkers), but also helped reduce and actually
reverse markers of age such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, bone density, arthritic pain, and telomere length (specialized cells on the ends of DNA that are one of the greatest predictors of longevity).
Five Element Medical Chi Gong and Tai Chi offer progressive, step-by-step approaches to safe physical activity fit for all ages, and that have an added benefit of structural alignment, relaxation, and meditation. We offer classes for our clients to remain motivated to practice through a fun and enjoyable community.
Originally a martial art, Tai Chi is commonly practiced today for health. It teaches postural alignment, relaxation and healthful living principles.
As stand-alone therapy, it has numerous research-supported health benefits, now comes "physician recommended" by Harvard Medical School.
Thousands of research studies have been conducted on Tai Chi's benefits, over five hundred of which were considered high quality in this 2016 meta-review.
The benefits of regular practice may include:
✅ Preventing falls
✅ Reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis and parkinson's
✅ Rehabilitation from chronic lung disease
✅ Improving memory and brain function
✅ +heart health, +aids recovery from stroke
✅ slows (and potentially reverses) dementia
✅ Increased strength, well-being, balance
✅ +quality of life, and more . . .

During his time at the National University of Natural Medicine (Classical Chinese Medicince), Tim taught numerous Tai Chi and Chi Gong classes to staff and to the public. While in Phoenix, he had several mentees; as well as a few groups of high school students he led in Tai Chi (there are many benefits for this age group too, from increase body image, self-confidence, reductions in test anxiety). During that time, he also co-led a weekly class for medical students at Mid-western University.
As a high school teacher, he strove to spend at least a few "mindful minutes" at the beginning of each class to develop his students capacities for self-awareness, attention regulation - and of course - learning. As wellness coach, also led several families through these exercises and many clients as well!.
Often called the patient-practitioner or client-therapist team, this is not an individual service persay, rather it is one of the recognized elements of successful change. When two people form an accountability team, informed by expertise, free-choice and continual adaptation to goals and needs - it can be powerfully supportive.
Still, for most people, the ability to receive from others; or through relationship itself; is imperfect; especially the case in a society that hardwired towards independence. It can take courage to open through these socially constructed and self-reinforced bounds . . .
Some may fear losing autonomy . . .
Yes, trusting in a new voice is an effortful endeavor; we must make room for the help to come through; consistently and with attentiveness. Otherwise we cannot receive the benefit.
However, when we take the time to do the work with effort and attention - that our inner voice is found and strengthened;
which is the key to leveraging the relationship to exponentially improve outcomes
Expect Resistance and Intend to Transform Through It
It's common to struggle with discomfort in the process of changing one's Self; which can create emotional resistance to the care
This is normal, and part of a larger process of becoming a consistently stronger, happier, and healthier individual.

Acupressure
Acupressure is the massage of carefully-selected points that support the entire system towards healing, health, and harmony. It is rooted in the Ancient system of wisdom used by medical physicians in China for the last several thousand years.
It's theoretical foundations - already extremely well-developed appear in pre-han dynasty texts dating back into the first or second century BCE, and it has since then enjoyed wide application, continuous development and scholarship.
This system relies on careful determination of the individual's constitution, systemic resources, weaknesses, and imbalances (usually determined through analysis of the radial pulse, tongue, abdomen, skin, tone of voice, health questionairre (and other indicators). It then applies knowledge of the channels, points, and organ systems to address what the individual needs to function optimally.
As it was used as primary medicine for thousands of years, the system in which acupressure is rooted (used in both acupuncture, herbal medicine, and chi gong activities)- it can be used to support an individual through any thing - whether it is a disease or medical condition - or a personal evolution (to the extent these are separate)! Read more about the system here.
Acutonics - Tuning Fork Therapy
Acutonics is a system of medicine rooted in the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine as articulated above. It relies on the framework of the channels and points, uses tuning forks vs. massage to adjust and balance the dynamic energies of the entire system. The tuning forks create a gentle vibration that feels like a massage for the whole system.
It can be especially supportive of bone health due to these vibrational forces; especially in an individual who is not quite able to do the weight-bearing exercise that would accomplish the same thing.
Through a mathematical algorithm, the tuning forks have been tuned to the theoretical sound each planet's orbit would make as it goes around the sun. Click here to learn more.
Sound-Empowered Education
An unpublished example of my clinical work. Please do not listen on repeat unless your symptoms or goals match this instructions; and please inform me of your experiences. This has every bit of intentionality as an acupressure or acupuncture treatment, with the same or greater rigor applied.
Tim, or Motoyuki (as his colleagues call him, which means "essence of Happiness" in his mother's Asian heritage) - has been designing music according to Ancient Musical Principles now for over ten years, with his first album - "Elemental Healing Sounds," originally designed as aid to meditation, tai chi, yoga, and relaxation -
fast approaching nine hundred thousand views of YouTube,with many great testimonials.
His doctoral research has looked at the Ancient correspondences between sound and different parts of the body (Which in Ancient Chinese Philosophy are microcosmic reflections of processes that run through the emotional, the mental, the temperamental (personalities), and beyond (ie realm of values, virtues, lifestyle activities, professional activities, mythology and spiritual principles).
(e.g. "Fire" or "Blossoming" is connected to the Chest and Heart, the Life Domain of Relationship, the Virtue of Social Skill (people-wisdom), and the season of Summer, to name just a few correspondences).
Typically, music would be selected based on your unique needs and goals and would either be given as at home treatment; if appropriate to the treatment structure, we'd typically play this during the optional integration period at the end of longer appointments.

Packages and Programs
*I am offering major discounts on my services for the first hundred bookings as I am new to the area. After things are booked up, prices will rise to accomodate the hundreds of thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of hours invested into my personal, professional, and medical training.
Relaxed Alignment Packages and Descriptions
Tranquility, Massage, and Structural Alignment Practices (such as Tai Chi); promoting circulation, pain reduction, and long-term health. At home work may include remembering a particular opening or practicing a principle that continues to open up systemic circulation & Flow
Techniques inspired by training in osteopathic and Asian therapies (including myofascial release, cranial sacral, and shiatsu). Sessions may include East-West manual therapies, Tai Chi Exercise, tuning fork therapy, acupressure, as-needed cupping, relaxation and alignment training.

determined through our training in the Chinese Elements and Sound-Organ
correspondences (See "sound-empowered education" to learn more).
*
Throughout our time together we will usually focus on a primary goal or complaint; this could be reducing lower lumbar pain, improving strength; it could also be something like having greater energy and concentration, improving sleep or any other condition*.
*We are able to treat holistically through a mixture of targeted lifestyle and health assessment;
as well as application of Eastern and Western wisdom which understands the connection between certain points and channels, the resolution of dis-ease and promotion of health.
We do offer one-time treatments or consultations, and we try and find work-arounds for your financial and time budget.
However, we do find that many individuals (most in fact) need a consistent approach (normally at least two-three months, and up to a year or more in some cases (usually by then we have dropped the frequency of our visits to as-needed, seasonal tune-ups, or new goals)).
At the first or second visit, we'll clarify goals, a suggested number of treatments,
the results we expect to see by the time of re-evaluation. Then we'll proceed as planned, identifying and affirming the areas of lifestyle (usually a blind spot or a known area resistant to change) that support the health of the whole system (and usually the primary goal as well)..
It's important to recognize that change can take time, and consistent effort applied in the right directions.
If we had all the right answers, well, we wouldn't have issues right?
Well, we don't claim to have all the answers either; although in terms of health,
our methodology can help the changes occur with efficacy, sustainability and hopefully
- the greatest ease.
Consider taking advantage of our low rates now. Even at the eventual rates (which is how I value my time), with weekly or biweekly appointments for a year (between 5 and 10k), the knowledge you'd acquire in those sessions could enhance the the quality of life... well, for life.
It would be far less than the cost of a painful surgery or life-long prescribed medications for a condition that you could have prevented in the first place.
Don't follow the crowd and spend the last twenty years of life dying . . .
Let's ensure you truly enjoy the golden years,
and that they last as long as possible.

Inner Home Adventures - Embodiment Program
