JIN SHIN JYUTSU:  an ancient healing art that harmonizes life energy, promotes optimal health and well-being, and facilitates a profound healing capacity. Jin Shin Jyutsu (pronounced Jit-Su), employs 26 “safety energy locks” along energy pathways that feed life into our bodies. When one or more of these pathways are blocked, the resulting stagnation can disrupt the local area and eventually manifest as chronic conditions, pain and disease. Primary to the philosophy of Jin Shin Jyutsu is the belief that negative thoughts create negative emotions which create disharmony in the body, mind and spirit. Holding these energy locks in combination harmonizes and restores the flow of energy, thereby creating a healing state within the body. It is beneficial for ALL physical, mental, emotional and spiritual conditions.

A Jin Shin Jyutsu session generally lasts about an hour. It is a gentle art, practiced by lightly placing the fingertips (over clothing) on two designated energy locks and holding until they are balanced. Jin Shin Jyutsu can also be practiced on oneself, and I will always teach simple holds that you can use for your own healing at home.

 SOLITON LASER THERAPY: The Soliton Laser stimulates healthy cellular growth for faster healing. It also enhances the release of anti-inflammatory enzymes and natural pain endorphins.  The soliton wave, found in nature and used by whales and dolphins, stabilizes the laser and allows subtle energy deeper into the body tissues to resonate on a cellular level. Low level laser therapy has been safely used throughout the world for decades and is approved by the FDA for carpal tunnel and other syndromes.   

There are laser treatment protocols for building the immune system, activating the lymph system, unwinding the nervous system and opening and clearing blocked energy. In essence, Soliton laser treatments strengthen the body systems and returning it to the healthy state you were born with! It also enhances all other modalities of healing and I have found it extremely powerful when used on Jin Shin Jyutsu energy locks, Chinese organ meridians, and the chakras. With the accompanying wands, it is very effective on acupressure points, acting as acupuncture without needles!

 A session is done on a massage table, through light colored clothing, and lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. Many people have experienced total bliss and miraculous healing of a wide variety of complaints. It is an excellent choice for pain relief, arthritis, back problems, sports injuries, addictions, weight loss, anti aging, viruses and infections, immune enhancement and much, much more!

 SWEDISH MASSAGE:  Long, slow, smooth and rhythmical, Swedish massage techniques glide across your muscles with just the right pressure. Stretching, shaking, pressing and rocking techniques coax the muscles into letting go and relaxing. Essential oils, candles, music and a clear, healing atmosphere help you drift off into The Zone. On a massage table, you are fully draped, and unclothed beneath if you wish. I massage one part of the body at a time, undraping only the area I’m working on. It is your massage and you indicate how much pressure, where you want and don’t want to be massaged, and what you like or don’t. Your privacy is totally respected.    

Choose Swedish massage for the ultimate in relaxation, to soothe sore muscles, relieve stress and tensions, for increased circulation, and to experience a wonderful sense of well-being that continues with you for days. Regular massage is extremely therapeutic for eliminating stress- caused tension in the body that can lead to illness and chronic disease.

 AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE:  Compliment your Swedish massage with pure essential oils which can heal the body, mind and spirit. Aromatherapy not only delights the senses, but also utilizes the sense of smell as a therapeutic and  healing modality capable of bypassing the cognitive brain, thereby relieving conditions held at deeper levels.

 SHIATSU:  Pure, balancing, hypnotic, healing, releasing, clearing and energizing. Shiatsu is done by following the energy patterns of the body, thereby opening blockages and allowing you to let go and flow freely. Using a traditional, cotton-batting mat on the floor, with a body cushion for comfort if you wish, a Shiatsu session is given with soft lighting, music and scents of lemongrass and sandalwood. I use fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, fists and feet to press points along the twelve meridians, first with physical pressure and then with energy. Each meridian is associated with a different organ in the body, so it is very therapeutic. I incorporate traditional Shiatsu techniques: pressing, rocking, shaking, stretching, sweeping, and pounding.   

Choose Shiatsu for health, serenity, clarity, and freedom of spirit. You will feel really wonderful and ready for action. Regular Shiatsu sessions strengthen the immune system, thereby eliminating many illnesses and potential chronic diseases.

 REFLEXOLOGY:  Reflexology is based on the belief that the condition of every organ and gland in the body is reflected in a corresponding point on the foot, hand or ear. I follow an oriental approach: first massaging the entire foot or hand, including toes and fingers, and then with steady walking thumb pressure, I stimulate the entire surface. The session ends with several important toning acupressure points. Choose reflexology for intestinal and digestive track ailments, aches and pains, insomnia, allergies, emotional balance, and as an assessment of your health for finding the areas that are overly sensitive. It is great for people who are on their feet a lot, work with their hands, or have arthritis. 

RAINDROP TECHNIQUE:  The Raindrop Technique is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine. It originated from the research of D. Gary Young while working with a Lakota medicine man named Wallace Black Elk. It utilizes massage, acupressure and the layering of 10 essential oils and blends on the spine to help bring the body into structural and electrical alignment. It is based on the theory that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by viruses or bacteria that lay dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which contorts and disfigures the spinal column.  The oils used are highly anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory, and are dispensed like droplets of rain along the spine.

 WINDOWS TO THE SKY:  The Windows to the Sky points are 10 traditional Chinese acupuncture points located around the throat. The neck or throat is the meeting point between the body (earth) and the head (heaven) and acts as a window of communication between the two. Used in combination with compassionate touch, these powerful points will take you on a journey of self-discovery that will open the window to who you really are, why you are here, and give you the access to bring your whole being into balance. This protocol is beneficial wherever your actions are in conflict with who you are, where you do not walk your talk, where your heart, mind and soul are not in alignment or when you are out of touch with the earth and “up in the clouds.”  This is an excellent choice for addictions, finding your purpose in life and grounding.                 

During this treatment, you lie on your back fully clothed, as I lightly touch the 10 window points and 5 others that help to open the heart and ready the body for the journey. I use a special essential oil blend during the session that you will take with you to bring you back to the experience.

 CHINESE FACE LIFT:   I use a series of acupressure points on the face that are traditionally used to ease tension, calm the spirit and relax wrinkles, followed by a brief session with the Soliton wave Laser. Next will be a 5-step experience with hot towels, natural beauty products suitable for all skin types, and pure essential oils chosen for their therapeutic skin value and uplifting aroma. The 5 steps include: deep cleanse, exfoliation, toning, mask and moisturizing. Throughout I use hot towels to open the pores and relax the muscles. Choose the Chinese Facelift for totally relaxing and pampering yourself.

 HOT TOWEL THERAPY:  Experience the pleasure of hot towels and pure essential oils before or after your massage. It is a wonderful way to deeply relax the muscles and the therapeutic value of essential oils is profound.  

TIBETAN BOWLS:  The Tibetan bowls or singing bowls are very old tools of the Tibetan monasteries. In fact, every monk made his own to be used in rituals. The old bowls are made of a combination of seven different metals, the recipe long lost. I have several ancient bowls as well as newer ones. All of them are magical and resonate deep within when placed on the body. The latest laboratory research indicates that the harmonics of these bowls actually make unhealthy cells “explode”, while enveloping healthy cells in a violet light. Experience being enveloped in sound as you follow the harmonics until they fade into stillness. Deeply relaxing, a session lasts about 20 minutes as I play the bowls on and near your body as you lie, fully clothed, on a massage table.

 TUNING FORKS:  Each energy center in the body has a tone associated with it. Using the tuning forks on the chakras opens them up and balances them. The OM tuner, tuned to the vibration of the earth, is amazing when placed on the heart chakra. I also have a tuning fork that vibrates with Venus and another that vibrates with Mars. I use these to balance feminine and masculine energies of yin and yang. This 20 minutes of vibrational healing will put you in the Zone.

ETHERIC WEAVERS:  The etheric weavers are crystals wrapped in copper wire with magnets on either side. They are made by Tibetan monks and work as both transmitters and receivers of energy. They are extremely powerful healing tools that I hold over various parts of the body to balance the etheric field. Choose ones that “call” to you and experience the energy move through you as they swing and spin.

 FOOT BATH:  Enjoy the simple pleasure of soaking your feet in warm, bubbly water. To enhance the experience, herbs, salts or essential oils of your choice are added.

 CHI MACHINE:  My machine, called the Foot Shaker, is a variation of the original Chi Machine. It is an amazing machine in all of its forms and should be experienced by everyone. You lie on a mat on the floor with your ankles resting in the holders and then the machine vibrates back and forth, causing the entire body to rock gently. Some of the benefits of regular use are: reducing stress, better sleeping, toning and firming the waist, relief of chronic back problems, increased energy, muscle relaxation and improved function of the internal organs. It is also said to improve lymphatic drainage, increase blood circulation, normalize the cerebral spinal flow and create an Alpha state in the brain, which induces a light meditative state. 

BODY BRIDGE:  The Body Bridge is a natural way to counter some of the side-effects of gravity.  It stretches and separates the vertebrae, thereby reducing spinal and nerve compression. Regular use tones abdominal organs, aids decongestion, fights the aging effects of gravity and promotes the health of spinal discs and nerves.  A brief session on the Body Bridge before a massage can help relax the muscles in the back, shoulders and neck and can help facilitate deeper tissue work.
