“Balance and Relief: My Path from Ninjutsu to Bodywork” My journey into bodywork kicked off in 2012 when I started learning Shiatsu, driven by my interest in alternative healing and deepening my martial arts practice in Ninjutsu, which I’ve been teaching since 2004. One highlight of my Shiatsu training was a structural alignment course that blended intuitive energy work with a hands-on mechanical approach. I discovered Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT) through Erik Dalton’s online videos while looking for ways to help clients with tricky pain issues. The MAT approach—using rhythm, staying within pain thresholds, and not chasing pain—clicked perfectly with my existing work. After some early successes, I jumped right in and took my first course, “Posture, Pain, Performance.” I love how MAT focuses on understanding pain patterns while also emphasizing my own body mechanics, allowing me to stay relaxed and adjust easily. This has enabled me to help clients find relief from both simple and complex pain challenges quickly. Now, many clients come to me or refer friends after injuries, feeling more confident that I can explain pain patterns and offer both immediate relief and prevention tips. If you’re thinking about MAT education or MMT certification, just go for it! Sign up for an in-person course—you’ll get to learn and experience the magic of this work. We definitely need more skilled MAT practitioners out there!
