MASTER HEALER WITH 40+ YEARS OF TRAINING & PRACTICE
YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST
Gwinn Ioka
For anyone who has been searching for real healing, meeting Gwinn can feel like a turning point.
Her path began under the guidance of Grand Master Dr. Doann Kaneko, one of five people who brought ANMA shiatsu to America.. What began as an intuitive gift for healing became a lifelong calling — one she has spent decades refining through training, apprenticeship, practice, and direct experience with the body.
Gwinn's work brings together Western precision and Eastern depth. She understands anatomy, structure, and movement, while also listening for the subtler patterns — the places where the body is bracing, compensating, protecting, or asking for a different kind of attention. Every client is a puzzle worth solving. Every body tells a different story. Gwinn's work is to listen closely, follow what the body reveals, and build the solution from there.
"I've never experienced anything like what Gwinn offers in terms of a healing massage. Without reserve, she is a true master — able to see with her hands, pinpointing sources of pain with laser-like accuracy."
Stefan D, 30+ Years Chronic Pain, Referred by Physician
OUR MENTOR
Dr. DoAnn Kaneko
Dr. Doann Kaneko is a second-generation healer and the founder of the Shiatsu Massage School of California, established in 1983.
His work helped carry traditional Eastern healing into a modern Western context, and he was later inducted into the World Massage Festival Hall of Fame. Through direct apprenticeship, Dr. Kaneko gave Gwinn more than technique. He taught her that mastery comes through presence, discipline, sensitivity, and the ability to adapt tradition to the person in front of you.
That teaching continues through Gwinn's work today, where tradition and innovation are not opposites, but partners in the healing process.
Dr. Kaneko chose Gwinn to carry the
ANMA Shiatsu massage tradition forward.
