Tomoko is a natural-born empath and energy worker. She is also a musician with over 30 years of experience. Throughout her musical career, she has learned to listen to and interpret dynamic human experiences encapsulated in music by various composers from different periods. From her extensive studies in music, she understands that while our human experiences are somewhat universal, they can be expressed or hindered in myriad ways due to circumstances and personalities.

She expresses emotions such as happiness, grief, anger, despair, excitement, and joy that arise from human experiences through her piano performance, improvisation, singing, and compositions.

In the realm of healing, she has been training in Jikiden-Reiki and her Japanese spiritual practice, serving clients in Japan, Europe and the United States for over 15 years.

Since 2022, after completing her PhD in Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology at University of California, Irvine, she has been utilizing sound frequencies in her healing practice, which has also inspired her to incorporate sound healing elements into her creative works.

​

For her, Biofield Tuning is a marriage of two of her expertise—music and healing. It is where her exceptional auditory skills and intuition shine. In her work, intuition plays a major role, as her energy flow is immediate and on target, allowing her to identify what is needed and how to navigate. Additionally, her finely-tuned hearing ability, honed through over three decades of musical training enables her to decipher a broad range of sound frequencies and interpret their messages.

She is incredibly honored and delighted to use her gifts in service to others.

​

Tomoko is a graduate of Berklee College of Music where she studied jazz and contemporary composition. She holds a M.M. in Modern American Music (Piano Performance) from Longy School of Music, and a Phd in Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Composition from the University of California.

Lara's fascination with fascia began 20 years ago. After two decades of sports injuries and years of pain, she had an 'ah-ha' moment!   ​ 

 All those times she fallen off my horses, skis, snowboard, and mountain bikes, were not incidental. With muscles of painful concrete, that no doctor could explain, myofascial release was the first relief she had in years! 

Her healing journey eventually brought her to John F. Barnes approach Myofascial Release™ (MFR). With a background in Structural Integration and movement, for many years, she found my specialty in the profoundly effective fascial-structural therapy of Myofascial Release. But there was more to learn about our body-mind-spirit...     

In addition to the Myofascial Release program, she completed a two-year Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Training (BCST), and is currently training in the Upledger method of CST. Mixing healing bodywork with my passion for movement (ah la Yoga, Yoga Tune Up®, DNS Breathwork,  Applied Functional Movement, Foot and Gait, and more), she has no intention of stopping this fabulous learning journey. She continues to explore the body’s healing potential with an East-meets-West belief system.  Lara is currently studying to become a Fellow of Applied Functional Science (FAFS) through the prestigious Gray Institute, she will be one of just over 1,000 movement professionals worldwide to achieve this title and great honor. 

Lara has taken more than 2000 hours in MFR, Craniosacral Therapy (CST), NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT), Dermo-Neuro-Modulation (DNM), Myo-Skeletal Alignment, Structural-Visceral Manipulation, Neuromuscular Re-education, Energy Medicine, and Shamanism; along with anatomy, exercise physiology, kinesiology, injury evaluation, and related coursework at UCLA Extension, which I blend with my love of movement and the outdoors, for a whole mind-body approach to healing and moving through life.​
