Original Courses 

 Before touching someone, it is essential to know more about your own body. 

To know yourself, observe the condition of your body and regulate your breathing.  Pay attention to your breathing and remind yourself to do so throughout the day. This is the most important process in coming to terms with yourself because one must face the fear deep inside themselves.   
The course is designed to provide a foundation for learning Thai massage, supplemented by breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation while taking into consideration the skill and physical level of the individual. 
You can take a full-scale training course as needed until you are able to touch “Kalathari,” the essence of traditional Thai medicine. 
The course is designed to provide you with the authentic training you need. 
We have partnerships with experienced and recognized overseas instructors, and schools in Thailand. As of 2023, we will be able to issue certificates from Thailand (approved by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Labor). 
Upon request, we can also organize tours to Thailand to obtain certificates.

 Breathing is the basis of life.  However, in our current society, we take short breaths and this causes many kinds of problems.  We unravel life itself in relation to breathing from the dantian (stomach) and how to be aware to follow respiration for each meditator’s level.   As an assistant scuba diving instructor, Kaori Endo taught students the correct breathing techniques, in an underwater environment. This breathing training is similar to a “Meditator’s Level” of breathing.  You can’t pretend to breathe in water.  Clinic laboratory technician acclaimed.  Kaori Endo, who has a perfect figure by vital capacity measured value (spirometer), opens your key of consciousness for your needs.
