”When I came to Narumi, my husband and I had been doing IVF egg retrievals for 2+ years to bank enough embryos. I was depleted, stressed and worried. We already had one transfer that ended early and our egg bank wasn't quite full. I was putting a lot of pressure on myself and my body to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I was so overwhelmed I was making myself sick.

I originally found Narumi because of her lymphatic drain work and decided to upgrade to a full energy healing treatment on a whim. I had never done energy work before so I didn't know what to expect. After 2 hours in her caring and capable hands, I felt like I could breathe for the first time in over a year. My body started to feel like mine again. We laughed. We cried. She helped my energy get "bouncy" again. I felt light, like physically lighter.

I continued to see her as we got closer to my transfer, just days before, on her birthday to be exact. She helped me calm my system. She helped me feel confident this was our time. And she was right. It was. I saw her a few more times during my pregnancy to ease my mind. She actually read some energy that says I'm getting a name with S. I couldn't think of what she meant. I didn't have close friends or family with the name S.

About a month before our baby was due, we finally (FINALLY) decided on a name. Stella. It's a name we always talked about for years. And I had remembered what Narumi had said: "You will meet her. You WILL meet her and the S name.” She not only helped heal my mind and my body, but my energy. Our little girl is so calm, relaxed and resilient. I know Narumi was a key part of my “Get pregnant and stay pregnant team" There was also a lot of science involved to get our baby here, but what Narumi does can only be described as pure magic.”

“I am a chaplain at LAC+USC Medical Center, in my first unit of Clinical
Pastoral Education, and in the last year of my Master’s degree in Divinity. I am a Stage III
rectal cancer survivor (since 2020), which is why I am now more in tune with my body.

Since my bout with rectal cancer, I now have a colostomy. When I told Narumi and
showed her she was super respectful about it. The first time I saw her I had a blockage and
was experiencing discomfort. After her stomach massage, without getting into details, let’s just
say that she got everything properly working again and my system was back on track – before
I even left her office! Since I have been working with Narumi I am much calmer and it is
easier for me to just let things go. I don’t hold onto anything anymore because I know it is not
good for my health.

My favorite session with Narumi is the Weightless Signature Session because she
takes great care with her time and everything she does just flows seamlessly.

Imagine flying to Japan to visit a wise old soul who intuitively has different healing modalities that she works with from lymphatic drainage to gua sha to massage, etc.
Fortunately, we don’t have to fly to Japan because Narumi is right here in LA! I was recommended to see Narumi by a friend who said, “You must go see her.” I was a little hesitant about the price but you know the saying, “You get what you pay for?” It’s true. Not only are you paying for her time but you are paying for all of her training, experience, intuition,
and wisdom … Narumi is many different healers all in one. She knows what she is doing and you can rest easy knowing that she will leave you better than when she found you.

I think anyone who deals with a lot of stress in their life would greatly benefit from
Narumi’s healing hands. From the first moment you walk into her office until you leave, you will
be gently held in a safe and loving space. Just let go and place yourself in Narumi’s care. You
will be transported to another realm.”

“I am a fitness instructor and I also work in telecommunication sales. I found my way to The Ogawa Method in 2020 after dealing with health issues for over 6 years, and in 2021 I was finally diagnosed with Mold Toxicity and Lyme Disease. I know without a doubt my sessions with Narumi have helped my detox and healing of my symptoms. I started with lymphatic drainage originally due to the digestive benefits, but it has helped in more ways than I could’ve ever imagined (neurological, detox, de-bloating, blood circulation).

Narumi is so intuitive and educated in all types of healing modalities, I have been visiting her studio once every 2-3 weeks, and every time I’m in a session with her I know that I am in good hands. She tailors each session to whatever I am going through health-wise and helps my body adjust accordingly. 

The type of deep relaxation I’m able to achieve while in these sessions helps my nervous system finally get the break that I need. It has helped my digestive symptoms as well as my fatigue and brain fog.

I always look forward to these appointments because I know they will help my lymph system re-regulate.

Most people search for lymphatic massages due to the cosmetic benefits (decrease in bloating, glowing skin, etc.) but the health benefits of helping your body detox your everyday toxins or other illnesses are priceless. I would recommend The Ogawa Method to absolutely everyone.”

-D.G., Regional Sales Manager/Fitness Instructor

“ I'm a creative director in advertising and I would say I'm in a really good mental, spiritual and physical health. It wasn't always that way. I used to work way too much, but in the past two years I shifted my focus towards a more and more healthy work-life-balance. I take good care of my body by starting every day with healthy rituals, eating healthy, and working out consistently.

I go to Narumi approximately once every 2-3 months. I would love to go once a month. I believe Narumi Ogawa has magical healing powers. I felt it the very first time I was there. Something changed. I felt transformed. I was in a state of pure bliss, physically and mentally, my skin was glowing. I looked five years younger. My body felt whole, and every part of it alive and radiating health and a state of wellbeing. I went to Narumi for a lymphatic drainage and left with what felt like a full Spa day compressed into one and a half hours. Her energy, which fills the entire place, is inviting and warm. The Ogawa Method truly is so much more than a simple body treatment. It's almost like a reboot for the whole body. You leave feeling five pounds lighter physically, but more importantly– spiritually.

Narumi truly opened my eyes to bodywork. Before going to her I saw bodywork more like a little treat, something extra. After first meeting Narumi, I suddenly understood that it's a vital part for living a truly healthy life at one's fullest potential. I'm praying that she moves closer to the Westside so I can go more often.

Everything she does is amazing. But I will definitely recommend the Euphoria Signature Session. It's combining bodywork with spiritual work as a wholistic concept, it's healing for both the spiritual and physical body which makes it truly outstanding.

I would recommend Narumi to everybody who would like to take their wellbeing to the next level.”

-S.H., Creative Director



“I work in finance, in a very high stress occupation. I exercise regularly, eat well, but I retain a lot of water, especially with all the travel I do for work. I have tried lymphatic drainage with mixed results before. I went to Narumi and it was instantly a game changer. The space is so peaceful and calm, like an oasis. Immediately, Narumi had me totally at ease while I also felt my body working and things moving.

By the end of the session, I just felt so light, de-stressed, de-puffed. I cannot recommend the signature silhouette session enough for anyone who works a lot and carries a lot of stress in their body, and especially for anyone who travels a lot (flying is so tough on the body, and Narumi’s treatment just completely reversed that for me). “

“I am a working mother of two young, spirited children. I have very little time to myself; therefore, I carefully chose my limited personal time. But still, I try to see Narumi twice a month.

The Ogawa Method helps me on many levels. It opens up my mental clarity while relaxing me emotionally and physically. She helps my mind open and see things more clearly. She helps my body and my mind detox naturally. I have enjoyed all my sessions with Narumi. She has a beautiful way of feeling what energies I need and customizes my sessions accordingly.

I truly believe anyone who is looking for a safe, clean environment to relax, find some peace within the body and mind, and leave feeling a refreshed, calm state would benefit from The Ogawa Method.

Narumi has a way of enlightening people from the inside out.”

“Narumi herself is an absolute godsend. She is incredibly intuitive and has a way of working with the body unlike anyone else I have experienced. She responds directly to the signals the body provides and is able to tell exactly what you need in the moment. I find lymphatic drainage to be a beautiful way of opening up blockages in the body and allowing for the body to work in the way that it is meant to. I swear by Narumi for reducing bloat, encouraging healthy digestion and overall wellness. I have had a sensitive stomach my entire life and have had a long history of gut issues. I consider Narumi’s treatments to be integral in keeping my digestion flowing and gut happy! Narumi is just an all-around wonderful person and I am so happy I have her in my life. She has such a gentle and grounded presence that inspires me every time I see her. I also love that I have her treatments as a tool to utilize if my gut acts up or if I just want to relax and know that I am also supporting my body physically at the same time!”

— E.S. Clinic and nutrition director



“I LOVE the Ogawa Method because it is a full-blown energy treatment that fully focuses on the mind-body-spirit. I noticed instant results with myself and my intuition is heightened. I go get many treatments in various modalities, and out of all of them, I feel THE most detoxified when I get an Ogawa Method session.

The first session will always stand out to me, I noticed my stomach got super flat after and I detoxed so much. I felt lighter, more relaxed, and I did not feel "weighed" down by my anxiety/stress. I would recommend the Ogawa Method to anyone who is struggling with weight, stress, or anxiety/depression.

After each session, I get rid of excess bloat and I don't feel as blocked mentally/spiritually/emotionally.”

- E.P. Hypnotherapist





“I can't recommend the Ogawa Method enough. Even though I don't want the word to get out too much because she already books up so quickly, I think anyone wanting to make some new strides with their health and heart and body should go see her. My session was really quite amazing. I have an autoimmune disease and some very deep gut health issues and seeing Narumi even just once was very impactful. The method was almost spiritual where I felt a bit out of body. At one point I thought I was floating and I was incredibly relaxed post appointment.

My first session was really enlightening and enjoyable even though I had to hear some hard truths about what I need to be doing for my health. I felt amazing afterwards and I slept like a baby that evening.”

-E.R. Home Organizer/Wardrobe Stylist





“I feel so “seen” by Narumi every time I come in to get a treatment. She really takes the time to not only listen, but to tune into my energetic field and be with me fully in the present moment. I truly do feel like my health and healing is supported deeply by Narumi’s healing and caring energy. This allows me to surrender myself to the treatment and therefore has fostered some really miraculous results. I initially started lymphatic drainage when I was struggling with severe eczema, in the hopes that assisting my body’s detoxification would eliminate inflammation. I was always amazed at how much better my flare ups would be post-treatment. Currently, eczema is not as much of an issue but I have experienced amazing improvements in my fatigue, anxiety, and especially digestive issues. More than anything, I leave each appointment with an overwhelming sense of enhanced wellbeing and relaxation Narumi has truly been such a gift and I am so grateful to have met her. She is a kind, caring, and gentle woman who is so incredibly intuitive and has the ability to assist the body in healing from the inside out. Her treatments have boosted my healing in ways I could not have even anticipated. My absolute favorite is a 90-minute lymphatic drainage session. In this session Narumi works on the face as well as the body. It is such a relaxing experience and post-treatment my skin is always glowing, significantly less puffy, and fine lines are reduce”

“Narumi is so intuitive and attentive to how my body is feeling. She is a true healer with magical hands who can always sense any discomfort or inflammation in the body. Her process is both calming and functional - I leave feeling like a new person every time!

I feel much less bloated, get my period more regularly, and just generally feel I have more energy. My favorite session is the Weightless Signature Session for 90 mins, although I love the Euphoria session with Narumi's use of tuning forks and sound therapy.”

— A.L. Tech founder





“ I have been receiving treatments with Narumi 1x/month for the last 4 months.Immediately after the 1st session, I could breathe better, and my overall energy was much improved. I even had a treatment the day after having food poisoning, and Narumi was able to help me move through that with ease.

After the year we have had quarantining and not moving as much as we normally do, I felt very stuck in my body. Narumi's work helped to bring fluidity back into my body. I have been doing the 90-minute weightless sessions with Narumi, which are fantastic because she systematically goes through the whole body and there is something very satisfying about having your tissue, lymph nodes, fluid systems, and nerves addressed from head to toe!

Narumi is very kind and patient. She is naturally calming to be around. Her authenticity is a gem.”

— V.W. Wellness Coach & Eco Boutique Curator




“In a perfect world, I like to see Narumi every week. That being said, I travel a lot, which makes this hard to do so. Seeing Narumi is the first appointment I book whenever I am en route back to LA. She is the perfect way to help me reset and get back in the game! I've never had an experience like it. My body and mind fall into a complete slumber. I decompress. The thoughts stop. The Ogawa Method to me is like assisted mediation. If you are someone that struggles to silence the brain and is looking to completely shut down, so you can actually reboot, then the Ogawa Method is for you. If you are Type A like me, the Ogawa Method is absolutely for you. My body is leaner. I sleep more and retain water less. When I am not seeing her on a regular basis, I can feel it. Most importantly, I am never sick. In light of the pandemic, the biggest health aid / trick has been keeping up on my treatments. Our lymphatic systems hold onto so much STUFF and most of our bodies are unable to properly dispose of it all or we simply do not know how. Lastly, I am someone that has always struggled with gut issues. When I see Narumi on a regular basis my ability to digest food and battle bloating on a daily basis improves. This is one of my favorite parts about seeing her.

Meeting Narumi was a gift. I truly believe that she is an angel of some kind. She is an empath--the ultimate healer. I cannot imagine my life without her and will continue to send everyone I know to her for as long as I can”

“I appreciate that the Ogawa Method is tailored to my needs each service. Many times I go in for relaxation and to help with water retention, which happens when I’m stressed, but I also love a good body sculpting. I like that Narumi knows my body well and can read what may be best suited for me each visit. I feel like my body wakes up after visits with Narumi. My skin is more firm and lifted. I feel more conscious and in tune with myself as well, which encourages eating clean before and after treatments and posture awareness. My favorite session with Narumi was a bit of an emotional one. I was so stressed during an intense work season that a gland swelled up behind my ear causing my face to swell up. After doctors visits and a trip to the ER, I was told to just wait it out and that the swelling should take about 14 days to go down. After one visit with Narumi, a huge pain relief was lifted and swelling immediately went down during the session. It was such an encouraging feeling”

“I received my very first treatment with Narumi in July and intend on going more regularly now.I’ve done the signature weightless treatment, which was the perfect amount of time and pressure.The appointment I had with Narumi was very personalized. She shows that she’s not only very skilled but also cares about her clients deeply and wants to help improve their overall wellness. My digestion has been positively impacted as well as the overall way I carry myself. I feel lighter, and my skin looks healthier and more elastic.”
