Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is one of those treatments that work for literally EVERYTHING! It is similar to acupuncture (but without the needling) in that it works along the meridians of the body and your pulses are read to determine what the body needs. Jin Shin Jyutsu is the Art of releasing blocked pathways in the body and allowing the energy to move freely.

Imagine if you would several hoses running through your body. If that hose becomes kinked or someone is stepping on part of it you experience pain, discomfort, numbness and eventually dis-ease. Our health & general well-being are dependent upon the constant and unobstructed flow patterns throughout the body. When an area becomes blocked due to daily stress or injuries the safety energy locks become blocked and this increases the chance of illness or pain.

Jin Shin Jyutsu gives your body a nudge to bring it back into harmony and balance physically, mentally and spiritually.  It helps to change your attitude as well as your body. So whether you suffer from depression, fear, anger, knee problems or headaches – Jin Shin Jyutsu is ALWAYS appropriate.

HOW DOES JIN SHIN JYUTSU WORK?

Jin Shin Jyutsu realigns the energy system, encourages correct energy flow and creates a path to awaken those blocks or kinks creating complete harmony within the body.  Some people feel the Dynamic benefits immediately.  Other people notice changes more subtlety. People with chronic conditions or “big physical projects” can be treated as often as every 8 hours.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A JIN SHIN JYUTSU SESSION?

A Jin Shin Jyutsu session lasts about 1 hour.  Since there is no manipulation or massage you will remain fully clothed. I start by “reading” the body, listening to the pulses and then deciding which “Flow” is needed.

A “Flow” is a sequence of hand movements designed to unblock and facilitate correct flow of energy.  This facilitates the reduction of tension, fatigue, stress and far more serious “problems”. Each session is customized for your specific need.  For more chronic conditions, it is most effective to have very regular sessions at close intervals.

HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER THE SESSION?

Most every client reports a feeling of deep, deep relaxation and well-being.  Many people fall asleep and many people see colors.  Your experience is unique each and every session. As simple as this healing art is, it yields remarkable results physically, as well as emotionally.

It is effective in relieving

Pain anywhere in the body

Stiff, spastic, or strained muscles and joints;

Respiratory conditions

Appetite imbalance

And, reproductive difficulties.

It has a dramatic effect on emotional problems, and people frequently have experiences of spiritual integration during or after a session. Stress is alleviated and the client leaves feeling much more centered and relaxed. For chronic conditions several sessions might be needed, improvement may be experienced after only one session. Of all my therapies, this one is by far a favorite.

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is so much more than a light-touch therapy. It’s an approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It releases tensions held deep in the body - relieving pain and improving your whole-body’s health and performance.

Every day you endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. But your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord.

CranioSacral Therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CranioSacral Therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strenghens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being.

What symptom are you struggling with?

Migraines and Headaches

Chronic Neck and Back Pain

Stress and Tension from work or life in general

Fibromyalgia

TMJ Syndrome

Scoliosis

What can I Expect From a Session?

A typical session takes approximately 60 – 75 minutes. As you settle back on the massage table you’ll be fully clothed. I’ll begin by gently touching various parts of the body to get a sense of what’s going and feel where you might be holding tension. We’ll start in the pelvis and work our way up to and including the head using delicate manual techniques used to release the tissues. What you experience from your own session is highly individual. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating felings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas being worked on. You’ll find yourself refreshed and renewed. Are you ready to find out how easy it can be to finally feel better and enjoy your life more?

How Much is Needed?

I approach the body much like an onion – layer after layer. Your body is only able to “let go” of what it is able to- to maintain health. One session is very relaxing although is usually not enough to fully address your situation. Each individual’s needs are different and unique to themselves.

For most people who want to experience the benefits of CranioSacral Therapy, I recommend a session every week for a few weeks and then once every four to six weeks or as needed for ‘tune-up’ and maintenance. I’d be happy to answer any questions following your treatment and look forward to helping you feel good again!
