“My shoulders and my mind feel heavy, and my focus is dropping fast…”
At the coworking space SARASA in Nishinomiya, an event where you can enjoy both work × relaxation at the same time is being held in April. There’s also an online course for balancing your autonomic nervous system.
Here it is↓
It will be held on Monday, April 21 as the “SARASA×氣to氣” collaboration event! 10:00–20:00（reservations prioritized / a few same-day slots available）
Here it is on the map↓
Location: SARASA, 1F・2F, Thierre Naruo C, 3-7-13 Naruocho, Nishinomiya City
It’s about a 5-minute walk from Hanshin “Naruo・Mukogawa Women’s University-mae” Station〜
You can get a full-on professional massage!?
Body care by a licensed acupuncture, moxibustion, anma, and massage practitioner might sound like something you’d normally go to a dedicated shop for, but this sounds nice because you can get it casually and quickly.
Since it’s being held at the coworking space SARASA, you can pop in between desk work sessions to loosen up stiff shoulders. They’ll also offer “ear acupressure points”, which stimulate points around the ears and are said to help with relaxation and beauty. There’s even a 10-minute ear acupressure massage, plus ear acupressure stickers you can choose from jewelry-style or skin-tone, so it might be worth trying out.

What is “氣to氣（Kitoki）”?
It’s a mobile massage salon based in Nishinomiya City. They also apparently appear at restaurants and events, and provide corporate welfare massage services. And since the practitioner is a licensed acupuncture, moxibustion, anma, and massage practitioner, the skills are the real deal! Instagram: @salon_car_kitoki
Even if you’re the type who thinks, “I don’t have time to go all the way to a massage shop…,” getting one while working at a coworking space might feel a lot more approachable〜.
What is coworking space SARASA?
It’s an “easy-to-use” coworking space in Naruo, Nishinomiya. Of course there’s Wi-Fi and power outlets, and the calm atmosphere makes it easy to focus on work. Have lunch nearby, get an ear acupressure massage for a change of pace… that kind of day might be part of SARASA’s appeal.
There’s also an online “TRE course” to reset your autonomic nervous system!
On Sunday, April 13 17:00–18:30 and Wednesday, April 23 20:00–21:30, there will be an online course available via Zoom. It uses a gentle exercise called “TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises)”, which is said to release physical tension and stress and help balance the autonomic nervous system.
