I have a saying about Sanae, “Do not underestimate Sanae.” She is quite petite, but crazy strong. She is deeply passionate and serious about all her undertakings, but she almost always makes me laugh. I am her teacher, but I consistently learn from her.  Sanae has an ability to articulate both the physical and emotional world and make one feel that the healing that needs to be done is possible and that the route need not be painful. That her patience, wisdom and strength will lead you to heal in a beautiful and peaceful way.”

Sanae has a presence and a focus that makes you feel as if you’re truly
“seen” by her. She’s attentive and intuitive and with her unique
physical experiences, can brings a special understanding of emotion and
feeling to her teaching. Learning from Sanae is a gift and you’re
fortunate to be her student!
