What is

Jin Shin Do^®

Bodymind Acupressure^®?

Jin Shin Do^® Bodymind Acupressure^® uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points, together with Body Focusing techniques, to help release armoring or chronic tension, and balance the Qi or energy. Developed by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, this bodymind approach is a unique synthesis of:

-         a traditional Japanese acupressure technique,

-         classic Chinese acupressure theory,

-         Reichian segmental theory,

-         Taoist philosophy and

-         Qigong (breathing and exercise techniques).

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® promotes a pleasant trancelike state, in which one can move out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom. “Jin Shin Do®” means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit.”

An initial session is usually 1.5 hours, and follow up sessions are either 1 or 1.5 hours, depending on the clients preference.

Why do people love Jin Shin Do^®?

Clients and bodywork students (Registered Massage Therapists, Aromatherapists, Reiki practitioners, Personal Trainers, Yoga practitioners, etc.) use a variety of ways to describe their enthusiasm for Jin Shin Do… if it were to come down to a single phrase, it might be something like “Because it works so well!”
