Hey, Misawa!
I'm transitioning from gift cards to digital session-based gift certificates. Don't fret if you still have an unused gift card.. I will still honor it.

🎁𝗚𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗔𝗤🎁

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴?
A session-based gift certificate for a 60, 90, or 120-minute therapeutic massage.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹?
Digital. You’ll receive a PDF certificate that can be printed or shown on a phone at the appointment.

𝗗𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲?
The value does not expire. Because military life happens, a recommended use-by date is listed for planning purposes.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲?
Yes. If the recipient cannot use it, it may be transferred to a friend or family member.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲?
Send me a DM with the session length and the name you’d like on the certificate. Payment details will be provided, and the PDF will be sent after payment is received.

They book an appointment as usual and let me know the GC # on their certificate.

Transfer is encouraged first. Refunds are a last resort and only issued if services can no longer be provided due to PCS or closure.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or issues!

After the recent earthquake and strong aftershocks, I know a lot of people here in Misawa (especially those new to Japan) are feeling literally shook! I’ve lived through some intense natural disasters in the States. One thing I’ve learned living with crippling anxiety is that fear quiets down when you have information and a plan.

Part of my training as a massage therapist includes understanding how the body holds anxiety, adrenaline, and fear. So if your shoulders feel locked up, your chest feels tight, or your back is aching today, that’s not “in your head.” Your body is processing what happened and is protecting you from what may come, hence the feelings of anxiety.

If you’re feeling tense or on edge right now, that’s a completely normal response. Your nervous system stays “alert” after a sudden event like that, and you start developing tense holding patterns. The lack of sleep many of us have definitely exacerbates all this!

A few things that can help:
• Learn what’s normal for Japan (aftershocks happen for days)
• Do one small preparedness task at a time so you don't feel overwhelmed and check your emergency supplies so you know you’re prepared. It gives your brain a sense of control
• Talk to someone who’s experienced a few quakes before
• Give yourself a minute to breathe deeply (your nervous system needs that reset)
• Limit doomscrolling for a bit and focus on your presence
• Move your body. Even stretching helps.

You’ll feel more grounded as your body realizes you’re safe again. Stress and tension are very real aftershocks too. Remember, you are not alone. We're all in this together.

✨ Community Giveaway Time! ✨

Things have been tough lately. The government shutdown has affected a lot of families, and I’ve had several clients who’ve had to cancel their sessions because of it. I completely understand; in times like these, massage truly is a luxury and not a priority.

I'm offering one free 60-minute massage to someone in our community who could really use the relief right now but can’t afford it.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know needs, see below for entry details! This can be gifted to a friend or family member.

🕘My hours are Monday, Wednesday-Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. I am no longer able to accommodate session times beyond my working hours.
🐈‍⬛Sessions are held in my cat-friendly home on main base (please keep allergies in mind).

How to enter:
Just drop a comment below! (Like/follow my page to sprinkle on some good juju☺️✨) One entry per person.
I am closing entries on Sunday night at 8pm. Winner will be announced on Monday!

I’ve been a little quieter lately because things have been wonderfully busy. Last month was actually my busiest yet, and I am so grateful for you all!💆‍♀️💕

Reminder: I’m still setting aside part of my income from last month and this month to donate to a charity in the Philippines, so every session helps make a difference. 🌏✨

As of now, my next opening is on the 16th. Spots tend to go quickly once they’re available.

🛬 I’m back from the Philippines and ready to start taking appointments again!

On this Labor Day, I’m reminded not only of the progress workers have made in the U.S., but also of the vast inequalities I saw while traveling to the PI.

What struck me during my visit is that even with all the new development, there was still a lack of lasting infrastructure and deep systemic issues. It made me think about the importance of supporting work that builds real, long-term impact.. not just quick fixes.

That’s why from now until October 31, a portion of every session will be set aside to support organizations dedicated to creating lasting change for the future of the Philippines. This isn’t about one-time cleanups or temporary relief, but about focusing on the systemic issue (infrastructure, leadership, and civic development).

Here's a powerful collection of images in Manila that really captures the reality I witnessed firsthand: https://unequalscenes.com/manila

Thank you for being part of this journey with me💕

🌴Taking a little break August 20–31!
Mucho mahalo to all of you who work around my schedule, especially my lunchtime regulars!💕
Those lunchtime spots go fast, so if you're planning to squeeze in a session before I’m off, now’s the time to book.

⚠️ No more weekend appointments available in August, so let’s get you on the schedule while there’s still room!

You don't have to know what type of massage you need! That's my job.
Imagine if I had to price each of these separately😵

Wow-wow-wee-wow!! Look at little ol' Lani on this day 13 years ago!🥹
This is a picture of me after graduating from massage school. It's wild to look back and see how far I've come! I'm feeling super grateful today.

Back in the States, I was constantly booked months out (my snowbirds even booked a year out!). Moving to Misawa has been a humbling reset, having to start all over again. There are a LOT of massage options here, so when people choose me, work around my schedule, and spread the word, it means everything!

I pour a lot of thought and care into the way I work, and it means so much knowing that you value that.

To those who’ve trusted my expertise, whether once or over and over again: thank you! Your support allows me to rebuild my practice with purpose and heart💕

📦 PCS season is here, and I know a lot of you are feeling it!

Whether you're packing up to say goodbye or just getting settled into Misawa, your body (and probably your nerves) have been through a lot.

Between lifting heavy boxes, sleeping in unfamiliar beds, wrangling kids, and just the general chaos of moving, it’s no surprise that things are sore, tight, or just plain exhausted.

I had someone last week who booked herself a 2-hour massage as a reward for knocking out most of her packing, and honestly? Genius move. I had time to really slow down and focus on all the spots that needed extra attention, plus made sure everything else was addressed for full body maintenance.

So if your body’s feeling run-down from the PCS hustle, you’re not alone and you don’t have to power through it. I’ve got space for you to land, unwind, and feel like yourself again.

✨ Not sure what kind of session you need? Message me. If you do know your back is yelling at you, the booking link’s in my bio, or message to book😊
