"Before I found Ryoko, I was in pain every single day, a seven out of ten, constant. I held years of trapped trauma in my body, and it hurt just to move. Living with CPTSD, I had completely stopped listening to myself. I wasn’t noticing what my body was telling me, I had no idea how to feel safe within myself, and I was waking up every night with racing thoughts.
After a complete nervous system shutdown, I found Ryoko on Instagram searching for holistic healing in Nashville. Something about her approach just resonated. So I put my foot in the door. I booked a Clarity Session, then made the decision to come to one group session.
At first, I couldn’t relax one part of my body without another part tensing up. But by the end of the breathing section, something started to shift. When we moved into the poses, emotion just started pouring out of me, all the negativity that had been pent up for so long. Through Ryoko’s guidance, I was finally able to allow it to release. One phrase stayed with me: release what no longer serves you. I took it literally.
That night I took a selfie and sent it to my friends. The caption was: I think my life just changed. And it did. I started releasing friendships that were draining my energy and clearing out everything cluttering my past. I learned how to breathe. I learned how to be more mindful. I learned how to regulate my nervous system. For the first time, I felt a sense of relief and safety within my own body that I had never felt before.
Even though my outer environment has not changed, something inside me has. That one session was the catalyst. The beginning of learning how to come home to myself."
"I have a history of trauma, depression, anxiety, and nightmares. I had gone to regular talk therapy for 10 years with little improvement — I was quite tired of it. I had also tried EMDR and Somatic Experiencing Therapy. I really wanted to change my limiting beliefs but couldn’t quite seem to get there.
I decided to book an RTT session after hearing about RTT’s powerful results on YouTube. When I looked up RTT practitioners, I immediately resonated with Ryoko’s website and message. I chose her because she looked kind and knowledgeable.
During the session, I felt relaxed and was able to look at and remember things I had forgotten — substantial, because I often got very overwhelmed in therapy and couldn’t sit through a session. With Ryoko, I stayed relaxed and was able to find the root cause of my issue. Then she guided me to transform those scenes from my childhood and feel empowered.
After the RTT session and listening to the recording for 21 days, I can now happily report that I can go into town, drive a car, buy groceries, and feel good about myself. I no longer have nightmares and have pleasant dreams every night. I have also started to lose weight, feel more creative, productive, and full of light. My family has commented that I am a totally different person now.
So — 10 years of therapy and medications, or 1 RTT session and 21 days of recording? I think the choice is obvious. I highly recommend RTT with Ryoko. Don’t hesitate for another second."
For two years I had constant numbness in both feet, both hands, and both forearms. Never stopped. At night I'd lie on one side until the pain hit a seven, flip over, get 30 minutes of relief, do it again. All night, every night. Like a fish flopping in bed.
I wasn't sleeping. That impacts everything: your mood, your focus. You get short with people. It was hard to get through daily tasks, hard to work. The most difficult part was the guitar. I play with my band at church regularly. But with the numbness in my fingers, I felt completely disconnected from my instrument. Like watching somebody else play my guitar. The tremors got so bad I was worried before we started playing whether I'd make it through a song. It felt like something I loved had just been taken from me.
I saw cardiologists, had nerve tests, MRIs, EKGs. Everything inconclusive. The last doctor offered pain management: take some pills and deal with it. I thought, there has to be something else.
I was resistant to yoga, and doing it online felt even worse. But a few people who took Ryoko's group session kept saying: this is different. So I tried it. Within minutes it did not feel like an online session. I felt like Ryoko was intentionally connecting with each person. I felt calm and rested for the first time in quite a while. Nothing strenuous, nothing awkward. Just simple, intentional movement focused on the spine. Nothing like any yoga I'd tried before. That night I slept through the night. Deep sleep. I had not had deep sleep in years.
I did the spinal sequence every day. That was the only thing I changed. Two weeks later, my hands weren't numb. I picked up my guitar and thought: I can feel the strings. I can feel the vibrations. Two years since I'd felt connected to my instrument.
Then my forearms cleared. A month later, a mile and a half into my morning walk, I realized my feet weren't numb either. I started jogging just to check. Started crying right there on the sidewalk.
Now I ride my road bike 70 miles a week. I even participated in a 68-mile Cape Town Cycle Tour in South Africa. I would have missed that entire experience without opening myself to a holistic approach. More than the numbness leaving, I got myself back. My sleep. My guitar. My body. Whatever you're carrying, don't wait. Just be open to trying Ryoko's session.
"I am simply in disbelief about my back this past week. After taking my first group session with Ryoko, I have been able to do things I have not been able to do in the last 3 months. She did more for my back and hips in an hour than the specialists I’ve seen combined.
These may seem like small things to some, but after being stuck in bed and thinking I may never walk properly again, I am eternally grateful. I walked my own trash to the dumpster. I carried two loads of groceries to the 3rd floor. I walked 2 miles without soreness, and I am standing taller with more energy. I think Ryoko unclogged some energy channels — because I also have a new clearness in my thoughts. Thank you so much."
“The practice is amazing and has had immediate, undeniable benefits. After my first virtual breathwork healing session with Ryoko, I find I’m more centered in my body and mind, my spine and limbs are in better alignment, I feel more spiritually connected, and my mood improves to the point where I feel great, seem more optimistic and productive. Those are really impressive results after just a few days and one session. I’m truly wowed by the power of this method.”
— Dana, Virtual Breathwork Session
“I first came to Ryoko with severe back pain after years of relying on chiropractic care and still struggling to find lasting relief. After just three 1:1 sessions, I experienced significant improvement and began attending her Align Your Spine group sessions regularly. I have now been chronic pain-free for over 12 years. My body feels stronger, more relaxed, and more aligned — and even a short 15-minute practice brings both physical relief and mental clarity. I no longer need chiropractic care, and I’ve found a sustainable, gentle way to care for my body that truly works.”
— Bruce D., In-Person 1:1 & Group Sessions
“My lower back went out and I was in a great deal of pain — around an 8 out of 10 — with little relief for days. By the end of my session with Ryoko, my pain dropped from an 8 to a 2. The difference was dramatic. Beyond the physical relief, I felt something even more important — trust. I feel completely cared for in her work, and that’s rare.” |
“I was dealing with intense lower back pain that caused me to lose an entire month of work. I went from debilitating spasms to mobility and relief almost immediately. Now I feel like I have a reliable set of tools to support my body whenever something arises. That sense of confidence and self-support has been invaluable.” |
“I had struggled with debilitating back issues for years and was eventually told I would need surgery. During a moment of intense pain, Ryoko gently worked with my body in a way that felt almost too simple to make a difference — but it did. When I stood up, I was walking straight again. For the first time, I feel real hope and trust in my body again.” “After three sessions, almost all of my anxiety of eight years melted away. I feel peace and calm in a way I didn’t think was possible.” “It only took one personal session to relieve the pain in my shoulders and back after months of worsening symptoms. My body is no longer in revolt, and I can manage my condition with ease again.” |
“After years of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, and trying medications that didn’t work, I found Ryoko. Within just a short time of sessions and practice, I went from constant pain to zero pain. I’m sleeping deeply, my energy is back, and I feel like I have my life again.” “During a retreat I had severe cramping in my thigh and couldn’t participate. Ryoko came over, worked on me, and the pain disappeared. I even flew the next day without any cramping. Her magic hands are real.” “After 25 years of chronic back pain and regular chiropractic care, I no longer need adjustments. My back has not felt this good in decades.” |
“I don’t feel any pain”
“I slept through the night”
“I feel like a new person”
“My body feels open and free”
“I still feel an inch taller”
“My neck moves freely again”
“I have more energy and less anxiety”
“I feel so peaceful and happy”
“I can finally relax”
“Gentle, yet so powerful”
