Mizuko Takamoto, LMT.

Mizuko graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, OR and specializes in collaborative bodywork that aims to create pain-free, structurally-easeful, self-learning mobility.

Mizuko is a MMASI™ (Morales Method® Academy of Structural Integration) practitioner. This program trains bodyworkers to work the classic ten-series of structural integration as developed by Dr. Ida Rolf. The work intends to ease the muscular and fascial tissue into gravitational alignment, promoting easeful movement as intended by the body’s natural relationship to the Earth. This has been the most transformative work to Mizuko and has personally enhanced his workouts and tennis career by re-instilling the body’s natural form as it moves in integration.

He supplements his practice with personal training courses to encourage client self-efficacy in bodily self-care off the massage table. Most recently he passed certifying courses on Women’s Fitness to adapt personal training for women going through pregnancy and menopause and Bodybuilding and Physique Coaching to prepare bodybuilders to go into competition. He plays tennis in his free time to integrate his mobility education in real life.

Finally, his supplemental interest in nutrition as the core component to weight loss and athletic performance led him to becoming a Certified Nutrition Coach with the National Academy of Sports Medicine and has taken coursework on nutrition for vegan athletes. He has an open interest in discussing the role of macro and micronutrients in enhancing energy, decreasing inflammation and promoting long term bone and muscle health, encouraging the centering of food choices to empowered functioning
