Mojohito offers consultation and bodwork sessions to facilitate whole-system healing by addressing the roots of imbalance in dietary and lifestyle habits. Consultations consist of a detailed health history evaluation and treatments areas of whole-foods nutrition transition, custom herbal formulae, shiatsu and massage therapy, mindful movement, and awareness practices. Every aspect of the treatment recommendations are tailored to each client’s needs and goals. As a system, these are called the Integrative Healing Arts.
The Integrative Healing Arts are an approach to personal healing that is both ancient and modern. Utilizing the wisdom of traditional healing practices while recognizing the contributions of contemporary science, the Integrative Healing Arts emphasize an approach that honors the sacred nature of each individual’s body, mind, and spirit. Using the tools of Shiatsu acupressure and nutritional analysis, along with classical Chinese medical philosophy, the practitioner creates a space in which the client becomes self-empowered to actualize a purer and more wholesome way of living. Naturally, imbalances and dis-ease disappear.
Shiatsu is a Japanese acupressure and massage form that is based on the energy meridians mapped in traditional Chinese medical philosophy and Zen mindful intent. Performed fully clothed on futon mats close to the earth, both the client and practitioner enter a meditative state during the session. The therapist offers a gentle yet stimulating full-body session tailored to each client’s needs. Energy centers are accessed directly through compression and assisted stretching, with intention to stimulate or relax the areas based upon the therapist’s assessment and the client’s goals. Shiatsu is effective for musculoskeletal complaints but functions primarily by harmonizing the deeper energetic systems upon which the physical organ systems are patterned.
Whole-foods nutrition offers an alternative and complementary approach to health when compared with allopathic (symptom-suppression) medicine.
Much of modern Western medical philosophy is aimed a repairing that which is broken, yet there is little emphasis on achieving and maintaining an optimum level of health. Fad diets offer little solution, for the simple reason that each person has a unique physiology, lifestyle, and history. Thus, each individual has different nutritional needs, and this is how Integrative Nutrition can help you.
With a training system developed by the renowned researcher and therapist Paul Pitchford, this model of nutritional and lifestyle consultation involves a specific analysis of each client’s dietary and lifestyle history and needs, and develops a custom plan to be implemented gently in stages.
Ultimately, the client is empowered to take control of their life and healing; the therapist’s role is to facilitate and guide the process with support and education.

Classical Chinese medical theory (also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM) has been in practical application for over three thousand years. Concepts and techniques have been developed, refined, and applied with tremendous success for much of recorded history.
All manner of practices from acupuncture and herbalism to taiji and feng shui rely on the core assessment tools found in classic Chinese texts such as the I Ching and the Tao Te Ching. The Integrative Healing Arts are based on a backbone of traditional Chinese medical assessment, utilizing the symbology of Yin Yang and the Five Elements to tailor each session – whether it be Shiatsu or nutritional consultation, or both – to the precise needs of the client, with the intention of unifying body, mind, and spirit in true health.
