From Performer to Movement Therapist

ダンサーからボディセラピストへ

Mai lived and breathed ballet. Even as a young dancer, injuries were her constant companion. By the time she reached Singapore Ballet’s stage—performing professionally for over seven years – she knew the harsh reality behind the artistry: her body was breaking down.

Injury after injury, from childhood through her professional career, forced her to ask: Why does movement that looks so beautiful cause so much pain?

The answer came through Pilates. As she dove into anatomy and movement science, everything clicked. She discovered that the body could be strong AND graceful, powerful AND pain-free. The same precision she brought to ballet could heal, not just hurt.

Ballet had taught her artistry. Science unlocked the mechanics behind the movement. But she was just getting started.

Creating Something New

新しいものを創り出す

Then came 2020,Covid-19 pandemic . Suddenly, everyone was hunched over laptops, trapped at home, bodies screaming from poor posture and lack of movement. Mai watched friends and everyone around her struggling with neck pain, tight shoulders, and forgotten grace.

She realized something profound: People needed what she had learned—but in a way that felt accessible, not intimidating.

So she created something that had never existed before. The Shisei Method wasn’t just rehabilitation or just ballet—it was the perfect fusion. Every session became a chance for someone to move like a dancer while healing like a patient.

お客様の声

Has been a great experience and I feel so much more functional mobility in addition to better posture!

- Zach

I am very satisfied with Mai. She does such a great job and makes me feel comfortable. Her instructions are straightforward to follow so I always know what I should do. My pains and aches have improved greatly and I have a much better feeling than when I first began. I know I can come to Mai with any injury and she will help me. She makes me feel better inside and out!

- Nina

Very satisfied with each session that I feel re-charged

- Nozomi

Very satisfied. The first session, was honestly a surprise! Without knowing anything about me, Mai was able to point out where I felt the tightness in my body. She was also able to know the habits I do that caused the imbalance in my posture. And I am very grateful that she shares her knowledge about the body’s anatomy throughout the session.
After every session, I always felt light, at ease and felt that it was easier to move my body. After many sessions, both mai and myself could feel the difference it made for my body. From superficial tightness release to deep tightness release.

- Anna

I’m very satisfied with the session. I always feel much better after getting ‘fixed’ to proper alignment, and it’s great to discover something about my body and habits. The corrective exercises given to re-train which muscles to use are challenging but fun, and I enjoy practising them as homework. Mai is lovely to chat with so it’s often a kind of mental release as well.

- Brianna

I enjoyed the session wiith Mai. She took the time to do a body analysis, and the tension release was my favourite part of the session. I can’t wait to be back!
