President Emeritus

Masaru Emoto

Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama in July 1943. He is a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University's department of humanities and sciences with a focus on International Relations. In 1986 he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo. In October of 1992 he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water.

He undertook extensive research of water around the planet; not so much as a scientific researcher, but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature. He has gained worldwide acclaim through his groundbreaking research and his discovery that water is deeply connected to our individual and collective consciousness Dr. Emoto is the author of the best-selling books Messages from Water, The Hidden Messages in Water, and The True Power of Water. He is a long-time advocate for peace in relation to water. He is currently the head of the I.H.M. General Research Institute and President Emeritus of the International Water for Life Foundation, a Not for Profit Organization.


International Advisory Board

Ryan Hreljac

Ryan Hreljac began his active life of advocacy for water-poor communities when he was six years old; determinedly focused his sights on the goal of building a single well for a dry village in Africa. The story touched hearts and launched an avalanche of media reports, films, inspirational book chapters, and speaking requests that resulted in more donations and attention to water issues than he could have imagined. In 2001, with support of family and other volunteers, Ryan established the Ryan’s Well Foundation, a non profit organization that builds wells, educates children about water and sanitation, and motivates people of all ages and backgrounds to perform their own “power of one” miracles. Ryan is now 15 years old, and where once his mission was clean water for all of Africa, his activities have taught him more about water needs elsewhere. He has since expanded his dream to a vision of clean water for everyone on the planet.
