Acupressure, like acupuncture, has its roots in the ancient Daoist tradition of China which taught the unity of body, mind and spirit. From this holistic perspective, good health and happiness are the result of free flowing, balanced energy. Jin Shin Do Acupressure focuses on the precise use of acu-points, along with bodymind focusing techniques, which is the perfect combination of energy and physical work. This energy balancing helps to release chronic physical and emotional tension which can assist with your bodymind’s own ability to heal, and to relieve stress and pain. Though my specialty is Jin Shin Do, I assess what my client needs and apply those techniques that would be most useful. I am able to give deep pressure to those who need it, yet am sensitive to those who respond best to light pressure. Also, I utilize my experience with Jin Shin Do, Qigong and Yoga to teach you techniques to take home with you to enhance your relaxation and/or pain relief, so you will feel good for a much longer time! I look forward to working in partnership with you!
