who are we?

meet the JIADO guides

JIAIDO is not just something we teach.
It’s our way of living.

being present – as one

the JIAIDO Guides’ perspective: the journey shared

In the JIAIDO system, we don’t refer to ourselves as “teachers,” but as guides. This is because we don’t teach from a place of distance or superiority — we practice alongside you.

All of us who lead sessions have walked — and continue to walk — the very same path: the path of self-awareness, presence, and transformation. What we share comes from direct personal experience, rooted in years of dedicated practice and deep inner work.

We are not just experts — we are fellow travelers. Our role is to support you, reflect back what we see, and create a safe space where you can reconnect with what is already within you.

JIAIDO is a living path. Guiding others along it is one of the most meaningful ways for us to keep growing, learning, and deepening our own practice.

President, JIAIDO Guide
What I value most in JIAIDO is its ability to consistently reconnect me with my true self, initiating profound inner transformations that no other method has been able to achieve. It brings clarity and alignment within, allowing me to prioritize what truly matters and be more present in my life. JIAIDO is not just an inner journey of self-discovery, but also a process of continuous development—fostering growth, expansion, and a deep sense of enrichment.

As a guide, I experience the true beauty of this path when I share it with others. It is a privilege to support individuals in their own journeys, and I believe it is essential to make this unique method accessible to as many people as possible.

Vice President, JIAIDO Guide
Practicing JIAIDO has opened a completely new path toward self-understanding. I’ve come to see that many of the limitations I once believed I had to accept can, in fact, be released. Through this process, I’ve also discovered new capacities within myself. It has brought greater balance to my everyday life and opened unexpected possibilities.

Sharing this holistic system with others has become an essential part of my path, as making it accessible to others is just as transformative as the practice itself.

JIAIDO Guide, Dance Meditation Guide
JIAIDO has brought a profound change to my life on mental, emotional, and physical levels. It has provided me with the tools and real opportunities to understand the workings of my mind, step beyond my limitations, and connect with the true essence of who I am. It continuously encourages growth and development, helping me unlock my inner potential. It has brought love, acceptance, deep understanding, and new possibilities into my daily life, nourishing my being with true attention and presence.

As I guide others on this path, I experience the depth of JIAIDO even more clearly—because once someone touches their own pure state, it becomes impossible to let it go. After all, this is what we are all seeking—whether externally or internally—the path to self-love.

JIAIDO Ate Bodywork Guide
Ate bodywork touched me — both literally and on a deeper, symbolic level. I first experienced its beneficial effects on myself, and since then, I’ve seen its gentle power unfold in many others as well, whether through individual sessions or as part of movement meditation classes.
It relaxes, soothes, and reconnects — creating a safe, deeply relaxed state that helps you turn inward. This process doesn’t just affect the body, but reaches the whole being.
On the path of self-awareness, facing ourselves is inevitable — and Ate bodywork offers a soft and compassionate way to do so. During treatments, long-held blocks and emotional or mental tensions can gently release.
For me, Ate bodywork is a beautiful way to understand how the mind works and to deepen a natural, authentic connection with ourselves.

JIAIDO Guide, Meditation Workshop Guide
Before I met JIAIDO, I was always searching. I had tried many things, but the restlessness inside never truly settled. I was looking for something real—something that could bring me home to myself.
Through JIAIDO, I discovered that meditation isn’t just a technique or a state to reach. It’s a perspective—a way of being, a way of looking at life. I also understood that transformation doesn’t come as a single realization, but through consistent presence, through practice and honesty. And that sense of ‘home’ I was always looking for—is here and now.

Guiding others on this path is deeply humbling. Each step they take reflects something in me, and the practice keeps unfolding in new ways. It’s not a destination—it’s life itself.
