After graduating from Tokyo University, he After graduating from Japan University, Shimojo earned diplomas in more than twenty types of therapy and as a psychological counselor, studying both in Japan and abroad, including the San Francisco State University Institute for Holistic Healing Studies and courses in Eastern Medicine at Union College. Shimojo looks back on this period as one in which he studied a great deal but was a clumsy and not particularly skilled therapist. Today he has developed a therapeutic method that involves patients as active participants and prioritizes personal responsibility. Seeing illnesses and symptoms as signs, he takes a holistic approach involving mind, body, environment, diet, thought and spirituality to treat conditions such as psychiatric disorders, infertility, temporomandibular arthrosis and cancer.

Grateful for what he had learned from 60,000 patients over fifteen years of practice, and anxious to share it, Shimojo established Natural Medical in 1997. At the same time, he presided over Medical Academy, serving doctors and politicians. He has hosted child-rearing seminars and classes for patients on how to take control over their care in more than 150 locations around the country. This June he established the non-profit World Holistic Association (WHA) together with doctors, dentists, therapists and patients in Japan and around the world as a way to further broaden the circle of holistic medicine.

Publications include Itami byoki soko ni ai wa arimasu ka? (Is There Love in Sickness and Pain?), published by Bungeisha.
