Until 150 years ago, acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbology were the main medical therapies used in Japan. Hide (pronounced “Hee-day”) was born into one of the oldest acupuncture families in Japan. He grew up watching and helping his mother in her acupuncture clinic as she treated thousands of people with a wide range of conditions. Here he experienced firsthand the powerful benefits of Oriental Medicine. The deep level of respect and appreciation the patients displayed for his mother’s skills, and her ability to help people heal, made a profound impact on Hide - it was a natural choice for him to attend acupuncture college after high school.

Hide attended Osaka Acupuncture College in Japan, becoming a 6th generation acupuncturist. He later came to the United States, where he attended the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He is licensed in the U.S., as well as in Japan.

Hide opened the first Holistic Health Center clinic in 1989. Hide specializes in energy balancing to promote the body’s own healing energy. He enjoys meeting new people and educating them about the benefits of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Hide is an avid surfer who restores his own healing energy in the ocean waves. Hide also holds a 5th degree black belt, and teaches karate in San Mateo. He believes his karate practice helps him to develop his strength and focus. Hide speaks English and Japanese.
