Discover the Ancient Art of Healing
Stress and tension often take a toll on our physical and mental well-being, in today’s fast-paced world. Jin Shin Do®, a powerful Asian bodywork technique, offers a holistic approach to restoring balance and promoting overall health. Developed by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, this gentle yet profound practice combines acupressure and psychotherapy to release deep-seated tensions and foster a harmonious connection between body and mind.
The Power of Touch and Intention
Jin Shin Do® involves applying gentle finger pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints. These points are connected by energy pathways, or meridians, that flow throughout the body, influencing our physical and emotional health. By stimulating these acupoints, Jin Shin Do® helps to:
- Relieve muscular pain: Ease aches and pains in the muscles, joints, and back.
- Reduce stress and anxiety: Promote relaxation and calm the mind.
- Improve sleep quality: Combat insomnia and improve sleep patterns.
- Enhance emotional well-being: Address feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress.
- Boost energy levels: Combat fatigue and increase vitality.
- Support digestive health: Improve digestion and alleviate discomfort.
- Alleviate menstrual and menopausal symptoms: Provide relief from period pain, hot flashes, and other symptoms.
A Harmonious Blend of East and West
Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, the founder of Jin Shin Do®, drew inspiration from traditional Asian healing practices and the theories of Western psychology. By combining these two perspectives, she created a unique approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of health.
Jin Shin Do® incorporates the following key elements:
- Acupressure: The application of gentle pressure to acupoints to stimulate the flow of energy.
- Psychotherapy: The use of verbal techniques to explore emotions, release tension, and promote self-awareness.
- Emotional kaleidoscope: A detailed map of body-mind connections that identifies acupoints associated with specific emotions.
- Strange flows: A system of energy pathways that regulate the balance of the twelve organ meridians.
Experiencing the Benefits of Jin Shin Do®
A typical Jin Shin Do® session involves the practitioner gently holding specific acupoints on the client’s body. This can help to release muscular tension, promote relaxation, and restore energy flow. Over time, regular sessions can lead to improved physical and emotional well-being.

- Deep relaxation: Promotes a state of profound relaxation and tranquility.
