Registered Jin Shin Do® Acupressurist
“The Way of the Compassionate Spirit”
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques, to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the “Qi” or energy, and improve vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress and trauma related problems. A unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classic Chinese acu-theory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong (breathing and exercise techniques), Reichian segmental theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy. Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® was originated by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden.
How is acupressure different from acupuncture?
Acupressure uses the sensitivity of the hands to feel the energy changes and release of blockages in the meridians. It is a non-invasive and energy sensitive. No needles are used and there is no need to disrobe for treatments.
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® is not intended for the diagnosis, treatment or cure of disease. It is a relaxation therapy, and a useful adjunct to licensed, qualified medical or psychological care. For any persistent pain or symptom, even a seemingly minor one, the reader is strongly encouraged to consult a medical doctor. When used in conjunction with standard medical treatment, the Jin Shin Do® technique can assist the healing process by releasing tension, decreasing stress and encouraging a sense of increased well-being.
