Anma is a Japanese version of Chinese massage (anmo). Like everything Japanese, it developed its own characteristics, especially the fact that it is a very enjoyable massage. Professor Daniel learned the style from the Mochizuki family.

Lithotherapy has been part of the Chinese pharmacopoeia since the 2nd century BC. It experienced significant growth in the late 16th century with the publication of the ‘Bencao Gangmu,’ the Chinese pharmacopoeia encyclopedia still used in university training in China today. Taoist monk Professor Jeffrey Yuen revived and updated this tradition of treatment with stones and metals for modern times. In his training, Professor Daniel learned about the effects of each metal on the dynamics of Blood, Vital Force (Qi), Organic Fluids, their affinities with Yin and Yang, and how metals can be an important tool for regaining health.

Teishindo is the therapeutic technique that combined the manual dexterity of Anma with the sophisticated clinical reasoning of the Chinese pharmacopoeia related to metals to create a new modality of Chinese Medical Rationality, as pleasant as it is effective. Teishindo is suitable for addressing a wide range of issues and can be performed on individuals who do not like needles or painful massages, including children and even infants. Its effects are as lasting as, or even more enduring than, any acupuncture or shiatsu session.
