About me

My name is Norie Furuya

I am a healer, certified massage therapist, self-alignment instructor, and

anti-aging/nutrition consultant.

I was born in Japan.

I was first diagnosed as disk herniation at the age of 12.
I had gone to many chiropractors.
At the age of 15, I could not walk sometimes.  
Then I moved to Hawaii for study abroad.
I became able to walk again with no problem in the warm land of Hawaii.  
In San Francisco, I joined cross country team but still experienced recurring shoulder ache and back pain.
When I lived in Michigan  I experienced worse pain, always microwaving wet towel, put it in a plastic bag and slept on my back, the lasting heat seemed to heal my back more quickly. 



Throughout my course of life, I learned many great lessons relative to healing:  

 

Lesson 1: Cold aggravates the chronic symptom, warmth alleviates most pain.  



Beside my shoulder/back pain,

I started to have respiratory problems; incessant coughing each winter that lasted for 1 month or longer.
I realized when taking shower or in a bathtub, coughing ceased.  But as soon as back to the bed, I started coughing to the point I almost could not breath.  



When my son was born in Japan, he was born with many difficulties: inability to suckle my breast, sensitive respiratory system, and hypersensitivity to sound. 
He was always crying.   As a new born, he never slept more than 3 hours at a time until he reached 4 months old.



We did not know what was the problem.   

My breast was producing so much milk hours after hours and everyday, I was pumping my breast milk for 30 minutes with my fingers 5 times a day for 4 months with a hope for successful breastfeeding.  One day we ran into an article talking about the symptom of "adherence of tongue" patients that almost all resembled his condition.  
Indeed, he was diagnosed as "adherence of tongue" and we had to have an operation done for him, at his 4 months.

When the doctor put tube into his nose and cleared his nose, I saw so much mucus, and he told me to use a manual tube device to suck my son's nose with my mouth every day from then on, "Baby does not know how to breath from his mouth until he is over 1 year old," the doctor cautioned me.



That very night my son slept more than 5 hours for the first time.



After the surgery, he was able to suckle from my breast for the first time, I cried out of joy and the sense of release from breast milk pumping.  



Lesson 2: Be patient, there is always cure if you sincerely hope for it.  



I put that manual tube into my son's nose each night and sucked his mucus while he was crying like a tortured for one year.   There was no excruciating feeling than to see your loved one suffering with pain.  Still I had to force it everyday whether he accepted it or not.  

 

He slept better but he still had trouble with breathing and because of the lack of sleep, always crying with temper. 



Then my sister let me borrow newly released air purifier/humidifier made by Sharp, called "Plasma Cluster."  It is supposed to clear the air from dusts, pollen, molds, produce negative ion, and kills 99.8 germs in the air. 

Indeed, I noticed a big difference in my son's condition with that instantly, sleeping longer at night.  

    

We moved to Los Angeles when he was 11 months, and soon he developed bronchitis and recurring ear infection.  We ended up purchasing the same Plasma Cluster, a bigger size this time and again, I saw his improvement immediately over one night.

Lesson 3: For respiratory problems, humidity and clean air are vital for faster healing.



However, antibiotics did not cure his ear infection.  I then looked for alternative natural medicines and found an article about lavender oil and melaleuca oil (tee tree oil) mixed in extra virgin oil was good for ear infection.  I tried the composition and after 2nd times, his ear infection was totally gone and never came back.  Later I discovered that lavender and melaleuca oil has such strong anti-bacterial properties.  



My husband was worried of his increasingly noticeable big fleck around his neck to chest area, one day he told me that the color was thining down within 3 days of using melaleuca oil, and I said, "good for you" while in my head, thinking "that cannot be, too quick!".  But after 5 days, when I saw his fleck, I was appalled with the color, it was really fading.      



One day, I did not want to do anything, literally it's as if I had clouds of heaviness over my whole self.  Then I remembered this special relief from a book called "Water Magic" that soaking in a hot bath blended with apple cider vinegar will detox your body.  In addition, hot bath with rose and lily- of-the-valley oil drops "to open my heart to love."  

20 mins after the bath, I almost looked around and thought to myself, "What did just happen?  I feel like now the haunted on my shoulder is totally lifted! I feel light as ever.  I almost forgot that 1 hour ago I was feeling so heavily moody."   This has become so far my favorite bath blends of which result is immediate.  



Lesson 4: There are alternative natural medicine that are more safe, easily accessible, and quicker healing.  

  

By then, I developed chronic shoulder/neck/lower back pain from always carrying my son and years of "there is nothing I can do about" attitude.  

 
On the other hand, I really hoped for relief from pain-ful life, but again 
I did not have the time to even go and see a massage therapist with my baby.

 

When I went to see a massage therapist for the first time long time after the delivery, I exclaimed in my heart, "this is what I needed!"   I still clearly remember how happy I felt with the massaging hands.  

But the feeling did not last even for one day, the pain came right back, because the root was not cured.

I could not go and seek help because I had no family, and I had no nanny then, and with a baby, I did not think I could go anywhere.   



I then met "Self-Alignment Workout" DVD and a book created by Yu Yagami, a Japanese energy-healing specialist, a yoga practitioner and a founder of self-alignment workout called Jiriki Seitai

This is to re-align your bony structure to a correct pristine position with your own weight and strange poses.

Following DVD, I then experienced such an immediate result that lasted for 1 week without pain what Yoga could not do.   

I continued practicing twice a week and continued studying and understood where my shoulder and back problems came from and soon I leaned how to treat myself.  

What a life without pain! 



And on top of it, this is rather a good side effect? I never became worrisome about my weight gain ever since, as this workout plan consisted of internal organ care and emotional care, which changed my bodily constitution totally to the body that did not accumulate "fat".     

What a relief and life! Free from the fear of gaining weight!   



I finally met something that I could use to heal my body without going anywhere.   



I stopped joining Fitness Club.  



Lesson 5:  Massage only or chiropractic only cannot cure the root of the problem.  Our body needs to awaken its own healing power.  Re-aligned body resets and empower the bodily healing power.  This we can learn and do by ourselves.



This was the start of my healing journey.   



I started to fall in love with healing works. 



I started to study and use essential oil blends especially for bathing or drinking herbal tea for my PMS control, stress, detox, colds/flu, overworked muscle, and beautiful skin.  I started to use essential oil blends bathing for my son's symptoms of sickness and it usually took one day to cure anything.  Even his bronchitis became a thing of the past. 



I started to study more and more as my results got better.  I also spent some 5 years with a spiritual teacher to deepen the understanding of and improve my healing power.  



The more I study, the more I became confident that pain/dis-ease was only a message, that if you sincerely hope for healing and improvement, you will manifest it, on your own, with a help of healer(s)/doctors, or information from articles, however way that works best for you.    


I stopped buying health insurance. 

I became my own healer and for my son.      

 

I was not born with any gift of healing,

I had to learn it myself because I could not go out and seek help.

 

All we need is a bit of information and helpful hand to push our back to the healing adventure and know we all are a very powerful healer.  



In May 2012, I opened the door to the people in my community as Self-Alignment Healing Center in my own house.  



Now people come to me for healing.  Now I can share with you, with open hands all that I cherish, to the best of my knowledge, to bring to you the same gift of love, as God created all these gift of healing treasures out of his/her love for our well-being.
