What my clients are saying:
Your services made my life so much easier. I felt I could depend on you during both my labors and you had a calming effect that also relieved stress from my husband. I really enjoyed my prenatal massage and having you attend both my labor/delivery and postpartum services. I also liked your overall calming nature and genuine sense of care for my well-being and the well-being of my children and husband.
I found your ability to remain so calm during such an intense situation remarkable, as well as the manner in which you worked with the labor and delivery nurses. At one point I felt like I was going to lose it because I was in so much pain, but you took my face in your hands and told me to look you in the eye while coaching me back to breathing and a focused state. I will never forget that. My husband thanks you too! People should know that you're worth every penny and I wouldn’t consider going through pregnancy, delivery, or the postpartum process without you. You were an invaluable partner in helping me through the process.

The problems that you helped me with were seemingly endless. I felt like you knew when something was wrong, asked the right questions, and listened when I needed you. I felt that you taught me how to connect with Wyatt through skinship.
Your service saved my sanity. It was amazing to have someone help me relax and just be there for me 24/7.
I was so happy to have you. You made my life so much easier. The connection I discovered with you is truly a blessing.
The most important aspect of your service was that I felt safe, loved, and understood in our sessions. You could anticipate my needs.
I would absolutely recommend you to anyone. You helped either to expect, what to worry about what not to worry about, and how to stay connected to your partner and baby with touch and massage. You also helped Evan it wasn't just about me you made it about my future family.
If we decide to have another baby you will definitely be my doula again because we trust you. Your positive disposition rubs off on us, and the way you mentored us through the first pregnancy helped us grow closer. Giving us techniques to connect with each other through massage and touch allowed us to foster the skinship bond that made me feel my best. The support you showed throughout the pregnancy, in the delivery room, when we got home and a few months later with baby massage made me appreciate your knowledge, spirituality, and your ability to clearly communicate what was best for me and my new little family.
We love you Hanako!!!! Thank you again for everything.
Gillian, Evan, and Wyatt
5 STARS for Hanako *****
Whether you want total body relaxation or targeted therapeutic massage, Hanako can provide exactly what you’re after! She has the experience necessary to quickly recognize what specifically needs to be done and her anatomical, muscular, and energetic knowledge all help her to accomplish it… She is outstanding!
I scheduled a PUSH session, hoping to regain mobility in a frozen big toe joint. Hanako knew exactly where to start, how to proceed, and more importantly, gave me hope. The way in which she has been able to refine her PUSH myofascial technique over the years makes it extremely efficient and effective. Her healing hands instill trust and my body easily falls naturally into a state of deep relaxation.
After the toe issue was resolved, she pointed out that the tightness causing it was also responsible for my very stiff neck. My neck has had limited mobility for so long that just the thought of restored movement felt wonderful! With her help, it wasn’t long ‘til I noticed I was able to turn my head more freely… I call Hanako a miracle worker! My body is progressively becoming more healthy, re-aligned, and relaxed every day.
As a mom myself, if you’re pregnant or even considering having a baby, check out Hanako’s doula and Birth Year services. She is knowledgeable, insightful, qualified, talented, gentle, and caring… she’ll provide the support and guidance you’ll need!
Hanako is the first person I go to see when something feels “off”. She’s been able to identify and resolve every issue. I am extremely grateful to her for helping me heal.

I never felt judged and was always very respected in my choices and my ways.

With Hanako’s help through labor, I felt my strength and had total support and my husband is ever grateful to her for being there and making him a much-needed participant.

I found Hanako after the birth of my fourth child. I couldn’t believe how nurturing she was and didn’t realize how desperately I needed time for myself

Thanks, Hanako!

We were scared to touch my baby other than feed and clothe her. Hanako taught us how to listen and understand our baby’s cues. There is less crying now!!!

Hanako is a master at what she does, managing to chip away, as Michelangelo did with his David statue, at all the painful parts that are NOT the essence of me! She uses her elbows, hands, and hot rocks, to release years' worth of adhesions and chronic muscle tension. After sessions, during which I am fully clothed, my body feels lighter, more vertical, more balanced, and more fluid. She has helped to improve blood flow to my feet, which are dealing with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. She has been instrumental in helping me return to the dance floor, which was my goal when I started. PUSH stands for Power Under Soft Hands. I prefer BUSH: Bliss Under (Hanako's) Soft Hands!! Fueling the soft hands are Love, a deep understanding of the body, and a very caring heart."

My husband wasn’t sure what to do [during labor] and Hanako was able to guide him…so he could feel helpful.
Libby B.
Hanako was a very patient instructor with the usual noises & interruptions of dealing with babies. I would recommend her for baby massage instruction.

If you're short on time but need some care have [Hanako] do a Reflexology session, I walk out of there on cloud nine every time!
I have fallen asleep many times on [Hanako's] table and that requires a deep trust in a person which doesn't come often for me.
In an area of many choices for health care Hanako is my choice for the best massage in Boulder.
