Sennin-So Shiatsu^® is a unique form of shiatsu founded by my grandfather, Sengo Shimizu, and has been handed down from one generation to the next. This is our story...

Understanding of our body- what it needs, how it communicates, how it "breathes"- is something all of us should be better versed with. My first session was not only an eye-opener, but a general re-boot of what I thought I knew. Stan walked me through everything he did as he did it- allowing me to build up a model in my head that will help me visualize my body and my pain in a much more realistic and usable way. I had been a mild skeptic of "eastern" medicine up to this point. I am impressed.  More reviews →

My legs were cramping and keeping me up at night which was making it difficult to get a good night sleep. After my visit with Stan my entire body my feels better and I finally slept through the night last night. He gets all of my circulation working the way that it should. My session lasted an hour, and I would love another hour today. It was worth the drive to China town. More reviews →

After living in survival mode for most of my adult life, with no concept of true “self-care” or access to affordable, good healthcare, the quality of my life was hindered. I learned about poor circulation, paired with muscle imbalances and repetitive trauma from my work. I’ve enjoyed the highs and lows of my nearly 20-year career as a medical esthetician. Traditional medicine is a for-profit business, so I continued looping the same path until I couldn’t take another step. I was encouraged to book with Stan by his wife Irene, who is a dear friend and an amazing artist herself. I truly believe it’s saving my life. I’m filled with hope again and excited for my future of reclaiming vitality to live my best life. I have so much gratitude for Stan’s healing gift, and I cannot wait to go back! I felt incredible after my very first visit! Stan’s treatments will be a priority in my life going forward 🤲🪷♥️ More reviews →

The best thing I've ever done for myself is to have a monthly Shiatsu by Stan. He is a Master like none other that you'll ever find. Trust me, a 70 yr. old, when I say that nobody does it like Stan. He focus on your aches and pains while leaving you laughing heartily as you walk on air out his front door, back to your car, in all that free parking right outside his office. He's a gift from the gods, a ray of sunshine, among us. I highly recommend that you reach out to Stan, our healing gift! More reviews →

My husband has had chronic back pain and also shoulder pain following an unrelated injury.  Just after two treatments with Stan, his lower back pain seems to have disappeared and his right shoulder pain is a whole lot better.  He can now sleep on that shoulder without pain.  As for me, I had two treatments with Stan for lower back, neck, and shoulder pain and after my second treatment, I feel so much better.  What usually took 10+ sessions of PT and associated medical treatments was accomplished with 2 sessions so far.  Stan does not try to keep you coming back for ongoing treatments--his goal is to help you help yourself in your recovery.  I cannot say enough about Stan Shimizu--he is truly amazing!  More reviews →
