welcome!

Hi! I am Akiyo (pronounced “ah-key-yo”). Thank you for visiting! 

I named my business "places and things" because that's what I do... providing different things at different places... fitness, movement, self-care, community services, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture,  massage  therapy  and  bodywork... in my community, physically, in San Francisco, CA, and virtually, in rest of the world!

We like different things; our needs and interests are often very different, so our wellness routine and plans. Being well shouldn't be difficult, and I hope you can find some useful information, hint, or ideas here and be inspired to be and stay well. If you are interested in finding more about what I do, feel free to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you!
