therapist
Rina Chevalier - Uchiyama

Initially, I aspired to become a sports trainer. However, an internship with the Japan Rugby Football Union during my student years sparked my interest in marketing. Consequently, I chose to pursue my studies in the USA, fulfilling a childhood dream.
Upon returning to Japan, I worked as a marketing specialist in the sports industry. A chance encounter with yoga reignited my interest in body and health. Subsequently, I delved into the study of nutrition and exercise physiology.
In 2021, after experiencing pregnancy and childbirth, I shifted my focus towards achieving a comfortable, 'non-fatiguing' body. Despite my dedication to yoga, training, and conscious nutrition, I frequently experienced a sense of discomfort.
This led me to discover Japanese naturopathic medicine, a comprehensive therapy and an effective ongoing preventative method. Eager to share this valuable concept with others, I decided to obtain a qualification.
