Solla’s Own Words About the Tantra Journey:

“One of my greatest delights is to facilitate a beautiful Tantra Journey for couples. The Tantra sessions are created on the spot for couples seeking an experience of a soul-to-soul heart connection, endowed with the richness of practical rituals of honoring, worship, and presence.

I take the couples to a place where they are gifting each other with open hearts, expansion, conscious love, and deeper connection. They are also empowered to Tao Tantra homecare practices to infuse what they’ve learned in their private sessions for applications in their daily life with family and relationships. Each time I am honored to guidance in these rituals of love connection, I gain immense personal growth as a human being and am humbled over and over again.”

Solla’s Own Words About Chi Nei Tsang:

“In regards to my healing massage practice, I love what I do through my work. There’s a beautiful arch of positive healing energy that is exchanged between the recipient and myself. I am privileged to the most gratifying experience and elevation as a human being each time I am honored to hold space for healing, nurturing, and mending.”

Solla’s Chi Nei Tsang Testimony

“I had an amazing experience working with Solla this past week. To top it off she is a truly wonderful person, extremely caring, intuitive, and energetic. She has a solution for everything you can imagine. I went in with migraines and she suggested seaweed and coconut water. She even followed up with me as a reminder via email and asked how my headaches have been!

It’s always nice to work with people you feel truly care about your wellbeing. The massage was out of this world. She combined deep tissue, reflexology and Swedish for incredible a results. She works by intuition, tuning into your body and what it needs. I would visit her daily if I could! I haven’t had a headache since I saw her. I’d recommend her to everybody.” ~Amanda Reta, Santa Monica, CA 

“I had by far the most amazing deep tissue massage  with Solla at Tikkun Holistic Spa! Anyone who thinks that a petite woman can’t dig deep is quite mistaken. I love an intense massage and Solla not only was a natural at finding the right pressure, but she found areas that needed work that I didn’t even realize were in need of some TLC.

I was traveling from NYC and have regular massages at home, but none compared to the magic that this woman provides. Not only did I feel comfortable with her, but she is so knowledgeable about her art of massage that she helped coach me to breathe and relax into the massage so that I could benefit from it even more. I can’t wait to travel across the country again just to see her and my suggestion is get the 90-minute massage. You won’t want it to end!”  ~Monica L., NY, NY

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful treatment. My skin was glowing! I have had many treatments and all over the world. But being in your care was by far one of my favorite experiences. Not only are you well skilled and knowledgeable, but you truly heal. You are such a beautiful darling and I feel blessed to have met you. Thank you again.” ~Veronica Loren, Artist, Los Angeles, CA

“Tikkun is my favorite spa that I’ve been to in LA and NY. Every time I come, the service is impeccable; the facility is luxurious, accessible, relaxing, and clean. The hot tubs, steam rooms, salt rooms and massage rooms are so nice. I usually stay for an hour before and after to take advantage of the extra detox options and fresh fruit and hot tea.

The last session that I had was with Solla, who gave me the most amazing and energizing massage and experience. Not only is she skilled with her massage techniques, she gave me this incredible Chi Nei Tsang work which I had never had before. I have studied chi kung, meditation, Reiki and some other energy work. But what Solla did was so incredible. She did a stomach and pressure point massage that pin pointed areas in my body that were holding chi energy and releasing stuck emotions. If you are familiar with the energy arts, you will understand how much more efficient and all-encompassing this type of healing is.

I had been going through some big transitions in my life, and she could tell by where my body was tense, which emotions were in the way; with barely touching me she had a huge sense of what I needed both physically and energetically to make me feel better and more balanced.

I would highly recommend Solla and the Tikkun Spa to anyone. I have had the best experiences there and have been a number of times. You can’t get better service for your money.” ~Ellen Chapelle, Owner/Director at The Bridge for Dance, Inc.

“Solla, thanks for the Tantra Journey. It was a special time and we know our souls connected to a higher level in the present moment. Thanks so much.” ~Michelle S. Recruitment Specialists, Australia 

“I found Solla’s work to be deeply impactful in releasing psychological and physical patterns of tension that had grown throughout my first years of motherhood. After our session, I felt much freer. The effects of the session lasted for days, and in fact marked a turning point in my ability to connect again with Chi Kung practices that had been such a crucial part of my self-care. Chronic pain dissipated, I felt stronger, less “stuck” and more connected to my own life force and healing energy.

Solla is highly recommended for anyone seeking a targeted, profoundly pleasurable bodywork experience that brings lasting results. She is the real thing, and has a vast amount of training to inform her natural talent.” ~Tiffiny Fyans, Chi Nei Tsang Senior Instructor and Director of Education at Chi Nei Tsang Institute of Berkley, CA

He was a founder of Tao Healing Arts center (1978-2008) and Shiatsu Massage School of CA (1982-2014).

Dr. Kaneko’s Specialty

Dr. Kaneko has integrated the East with the West in the field of energetic healing arts. Based on TCM and enlightenment experience in Buddhist medicine, he integrated it with quantum medicine. This new paradigm of the healing arts has reached the concept of “Healing at Home.” It is the practitioners’ and therapists’ responsibility to guide and educate the patients and clients in a healthy lifestyle. Eventually, it is only almighty God (Saints, Jesus Christ, Shakamuni Buddha, or the Universe, the Divine Light) within each soul that heals.

Powerful healing energy, that transcends time and space, continues after a deep session with Dr. Kaneko. This concept is applied for every possible condition, physical pain, complaints, psychosomatic suffering, stress-related disorders, and chronic constitutional issues.

The whole family is guaranteed to enjoy the original lovely Tuohy family and the positive, unique, and original bamboo princess story. It is a happy, peaceful, and healing world.

In Dr. Kaneko’s Own Words:

“I love to serve for God. I present him a shining crystal ball shining like a star in the universe made out of all smiling golden happiness I have received from my patients and students. Whenever I could touch to their pure light; the truth of life by awaking from the fundamental darkness, they are transforming poison into the medicine. This total awareness and practice of Wisdom for enlightenment, enlightenment for compassion, compassion for happiness for others, unconditional happiness for ourselves, these are my formulas for the healing process.”

“Early in 2013 I became unable to move my left arm and shoulder. The slightest movement was very painful resulting in the use of a sling to provide stability. I went to my regular physician who diagnosed it as “frozen shoulder,” a very common condition among men in my age group. He referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who, after analyzing my MRI, said I would need an operation to correct the condition. I was also told I would never play golf again at a high level.

A close friend urged me to see Dr. Kaneko for an alternative therapy. After a consultation with Dr. Kaneko, I began a short series of therapeutic sessions that relieved my pain almost immediately. After several additional sessions, he was able to restore my range of motion and unfreeze my left shoulder. Within a couple of months my ability to play golf at my previous level had returned. It has been more than a year, my shoulder has not bothered me at all and my golf continues to improve. Because golf has been so important to me throughout my life, I will be eternally grateful for Dr. Kaneko.” ~Andrew S.

“After years of computer work, I woke up one morning with terrible pain between my shoulder blades. I spent that day trying to massage it for relief; a huge mistake! The next morning, I woke up with the worst pain imaginable going all the way down my left arm. It felt like someone bashed my arm several times with a baseball bat. I went to the local emergency room, but all they did was prescribe a lot of muscle relaxers and painkillers. However, the pain was so bad, I had to take them.

After about two weeks, I realized these pills were not the solution and had their own set of risks. At this point, I was referred to Dr. Kaneko but I had no experience with Eastern medicine.  However, while I explained to Dr. Kaneko I needed measurable results to justify continued therapy, I remained open-minded. Together, we established a realistic set of expectations and a path forward that primarily included shiatsu and acupuncture.

Within a few sessions, the pain in my arm had gradually subsided. However, after an MRI of my cervical and thoracic spine, it was ultimately determined I had seven bulging discs of varying degrees that been the source of the nerve damage that yielded the massive pain.

At this point, I was independently referred to a highly regarded neurosurgeon in Marina Del Rey. After looking at the MRI, he insisted I needed surgery and I needed it right away. I was told if I did not have the surgery performed immediately, the problem would only get worse over time.

The advice I received from friends and family was to avoid surgery at all costs. In complete agreement with this advice, I continued my work with Dr. Kaneko. After 10-12 sessions, all pain in my arm, neck and shoulder blades was completely gone. It has been five years since that first group of sessions and I have not had any pain since.

Dr. Kaneko is a genius and a wonderfully caring person. As we all know, referring people can be tricky. Everyone’s guy is the best. Dr. Kaneko is different and you won’t know until you know. I have referred him to several people since my initial treatment and everyone raves about him with no exception. He is the one person I can refer with absolute confidence. I continue to see Dr. Kaneko for my overall well-being and wish I could do it more. I don’t care how far you have to go; after one session you will be thrilled to have access to Dr. Kaneko’s genius. He’ll make you feel like his only patient and, if your problem can be solved without surgery, he’s the guy who will deliver results.” ~James R.

“After being diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear and having suffered a large loss in motion range, I was directed to take cortisone shots and start rehabilitation therapy. Dr. Kaneko had helped me with back problems a couple years before and his mastery of acupuncture and acupressure had solved these recurring problems.

I decided to forgo the cortisone shots and the chiropractor approach and instead see if Dr. Kaneko could fix my shoulder pain and recover the lost range of motion. Dr. Kaneko treated me with acupuncture, acupressure, and Chinese herb compresses over the course of approximately two months. Amazingly, all pain disappeared and I recovered about 90% of my range of motion. Dr. Kaneko managed to dramatically change my quality of life with no need for heavy drugs (like cortisone and other painkillers) or the invasiveness of chiropractic care.” ~JP Clement, Pacific Palisades, CA

“Dr. Kaneko has been an incredible asset to me over the last 10+ years, resolving various injuries I have sustained as a lifelong soccer player and surfer of 35 years. Dr. Kaneko initially assisted me with a range of motion issue (related to a surgery for a broken ankle). Various physical therapists could not get my range of motion back through normal sessions. The visits with Dr. Kaneko made huge improvements for me, allowing me to get back to athletic activity within a week of seeing him.

In the years to follow, Dr. Kaneko has assisted me by relieving and resolving various injuries to my lower back, neck, elbows, feet, etc. The combination of techniques he uses are unique and always result in dramatic improvements, allowing me to get back to the activities I love.

I would recommend Dr. Kaneko to anyone who has acute or general injuries that have been nagging them (where they cannot get over the hump thru normal physical therapy or tissue work). I have seen many therapists over the 35 years of heavy athletic activity in my life, and Dr. Kaneko is the one person I go to now because he is head and shoulders above the rest.” ~Scott Ridgley, Pacific Palisades, CA

“In 2010 I had severe knee pain and could not walk without a crutch. After MRIs and bone scans and other tests, the orthopedists could not find anything wrong and had no solution for me but to stay on crutches and limit my activities for three months. I consulted with Dr. Kaneko who treated me with massage and electronic acupuncture. After two treatments, the knee pain disappeared completely. I threw away the crutches and resumed my active life, including playing golf three to four times per week.” ~H.L., Pacific Palisades, CA

“My first visit to Dr. Kaneko was in 2002 regarding a chronic back injury. I did not know that when I walked into his office I would be meeting a healing artist. Dr. Kaneko took the time to hear my entire story, asked focused questions, and gave me the best massage and acupuncture of my life. Although it had been years that I experienced pain, within a very short period of time I was playing full-court basketball again for hours on end. I was so moved by my experience that I have sent more people than I can remember to him always with the most positive responses. If you have a chance to be worked on by Dr. Kaneko, please treat yourself by accepting that opportunity.” ~Robert Martin Bencangey, West Los Angeles

“As clichéd as it sounds, working with Dr. Kaneko has been a truly life-transforming experience. I would go so far as to say it is like being given the breath of life. Somewhere in his 40 years of experience with acupuncture and Shiatsu, he has learned to play the human body as elegantly and gracefully as a great composer tinkering on a piano. The results are just as magical. I wish I knew just how he did it, because the results are pure genius. He knows exactly what to do to put me in a zone where I feel just right, where my energies create great things around me and where I go from being in a state where I don’t feel good and nothing quite works out to everything being in perfect alignment. The shift is seismic energetically and emotionally, and I would be lost without it as I face huge challenges on the physical, energetic and emotional level.

When I started working with Dr. Kaneko three years ago, I was a burnt-out wreck. Every system in my body was out of balance, from my metabolism to my hormonal system. In working with Dr. Kaneko, I began to feel magical and magical things happened. I lost 45 lbs without even trying, and my body and mind came back into balance, most importantly, I rediscovered life. I began dancing again, studied Shiatsu, and began assisting him and experienced a whole new world. When I do two sessions a week, my body and mind become perfectly calibrated, as does my world. I find that once a week doesn’t quite hit the spot for me and recommend any one who can to do as many sessions as possible to find what works for them. We have also made huge steps in keeping uterine fibroids under control using electric acupuncture which is a lifesaver. Thank you, Dr. Kaneko.” ~L.F., United Kingdom

“I came to see Dr. Kaneko two months ago. My mother had died and I was trouble sleeping and eating. I was experiencing severe tension headaches and numbness in different parts of my body. Dr. Kaneko worked on balancing and opening up the energy channels in my body. He taught me breathing and meditation techniques to calm my mind. He encouraged and reinforced my own knowledge of self-healing.

I learned specific locations of acupuncture points to help me sleep and stimulate my immune system. Dr. Kaneko spoke to me about “Divine waiting” and the importance of being patient with my journey. And that to experience the pain and grief would lead to a greater knowledge and awareness as I healed. He encourages me to believe that all experiences are necessary for growth. Slowly but surely, my symptoms disappeared. My sleep returned to normal and my energy followed along with a big smile. The beauty of Dr. Kaneko’s treatment is that it connects the mind, body, and soul; working together to create harmony and peace to aid in the process of self-healing. Thank you.” ~Dr. Kane

“I was referred to the Dr. Kaneko by my daughter who studied under his Shiatsu Classes. I had suffered from migraine headaches for over 20 years. They generally lasted for 2-3 days and during that time I could not bear loud noises, strong odors, or bright light. Frequently I was nauseous and could not eat during the attack, so I had an acupuncture and shiatsu treatment with Dr. Kaneko. I left with a huge smile on my face and felt as though I was walking six inches off the ground. My pain was gone and I have not had another migraine attack in 20 years since then!

I continue to see Dr. Kaneko whenever I have pain and always find relief. He has treated my sciatica pain, acute stomach ailments, IBS, as well as muscle and nerve pain resulting from an auto accident. I put a great deal of faith in Dr. Kaneko, and his professional, kind, and understanding care.“~Mary A.

Certifications: Master Degree in Oriental Medicine, Muscular Therapy Certificate, 
Bachelor Degree in Finance and East Asia Studies
Specialties: Stress Relief, Chronic Pain Assessment, Shiatsu Blend, Pain Management,
and Facial Rejuvenation

Nicholas is a licensed acupuncturist as well as a talented massage therapist. He received his formal acupuncture education from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica in December of 2000. He has also been certified in massage therapy since 1994.

In 1991, Nicholas received his undergraduate education from Boston College with a bachelor’s degree in finance and East Asian studies. Throughout the last 20 years, he has learned many different modalities in the arena of healing. In his practice of massage and acupuncture, Nicholas’s goal is to participate in helping his clients have a better quality of life and to increase their awareness for creating and maintaining good health.

Mr. Huynh was inspired by his mother, whom he said raised seven healthy children with very limited outside medical intervention despite her limited resources. Being equipped with more education and opportunities has enabled Nicholas to help more people more effectively.

In Nicholas’s Own Words:

“I am a friendly person, who is very curious about others and what they do in life. I enjoy having conversations with individuals that will help me understand more about life in general and myself in particular. I feel life is an opportunity to give and receive, to teach and to learn at the same time.

Throughout the years I have seen thousands of different cases, which has lead me to believe the essential basis for any treatment is to relieve stress first. I view that stress can and will eventually lead to other serious medical issues. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if a client chooses to receive an acupuncture treatment or a massage session; I will always try to focus on the relaxation aspect first. Some of my concentrations in acupuncture treatments are pain management, stress reduction, and internal issues, as well as facial rejuvenation treatment for cosmetic needs.

I feel privileged to work with thousands of clients in the past many years. They have brought many different lessons and challenges that help to shape who I am today. Besides enjoying people, I also deeply enjoy nature. That is why I love spending time in my little garden every day. But the biggest joy in my life is caring for my two lovely daughters.”

“I have had experience with many different shiatsu massages. Nicholas is far and away the best, the most experienced, the most healing and with tremendous knowledge. He can find the trouble spots in your body, help make them better, and he works hard and smartly to restore and fix the body. It was a pleasure to be worked on by him.” ~Robert

“Nicholas has treated me for over a year and a half. He has a calm demeanor and good energy as a Shiatsu Therapist. We work on general health needs in addition to facial rejuvenation and Shiatsu. I always feel the sessions move my body toward total health.” ~Eva Helene Yazhari, CEO at Beyond Capital

Sage Advice From Nicholas on Meditation:

“One of the keys to better health is meditation. One might ask, what is meditation? A short answer is the centering and release of the physical body, mind and spirit. Even though there are many different techniques for meditation, it is quite simple to do. Everyone would benefit in making meditation part of everyday life. In this small article, I want to talk briefly about a simple meditation technique that I am using.

All you need is 5 minutes. You can meditate anywhere but a quiet place is preferable, especially for a beginner. There is no need to wait until you have a calm mind to meditate. Actually, meditation is a way to have a calm mind. You can sit in a comfortable position on the floor or chair or even your car. Close your eyes, and avoid giving attention to anything. Just let everything be as it comes and leaves around you and in you. Do this every day and you will eventually gain back your balance. So, don’t wait. Start your meditation right now.“
