Reimi’s original training was as a fashion stylist and make-up artists in the Japanese fashion industry. After spending some time in Europe, she then moved to boulder, Colorado and began a new career as a structural integrator (a.k.a. Rolf practitioner). Using her unique ability to combine whole body work with knowledge of style and cosmetics she strives to support and bring out each individual’s beauty and well-being.  To Reimi, beauty is not external but internal as well. Thus her signature acupressure facial technique stimulates and nurtures the whole system. Additionally she is the only fine make-up (permanent make-up) artist currently practicing in the United States.  www.studioreimi.com/Site/reimi.html
