Hello, I'm Rikako Matsuda.

Since I was young​,​ I have always been interested in the healing power of humans​,​ so I was first attracted to “ Yoga”and learned it for a while. I was introduced to “ Tai chi” in my early 20s​,​ but I did not feel it was for me. Then my interest changed to latin dance that freed my soul and gave me happiness and pleasure. Around the same time​,​ I graduated from physical therapy school in Japan and started to work as a pediatric physical therapist and moved to the US. I got a PT license here in CA​,​ then continued to work as a pediatric physical therapist. Meanwhile I was introduced to “Tai Chi for rehabilitation” by Dr Lam​,​ and my journey in TaiChi began. I have been doing traditional 24 forms with a Chinese group for almost 10 years​,​ and trained under several masters​,​ especially three masters: Dr. I Paul Lam​,​ Ralph Dehner and David Dorian Ross. I have been continuing my journey to improve my self healing power and am passionate about sharing it with others.
