Very helpful for releasing chronic or acute tension patterns and for alleviating pain and soreness caused as a result of strain or injuries.

Specialized Kinesiology 60 minutes

Specialized Kinesiology has the ability to strengthen weak muscles so that the tight ones can relax and not do the work of both. It is neuro-muscularly oriented. It uses the wisdom of one's own body to assess your energetic systems, using precision muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism. Neuro-lymphatic, neurovascular, meridian and muscular energetic balancing techniques help alleviate pain, enhance energy levels and reduce emotional stress. The computer of your muscular energy system can be rebooted to set your system in balance in order to support you in achieving a desired goal, transform undermining thought patterns or emotional cycles, improve personal potential and support the body/mind/spirit as a whole.

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®   60 minutes

“Jin Shin Do®” means “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® acupressure was originated by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden.

The over all energetic balance of your body is accessed through pulse reading and palpating specific acupressure points. With this knowledge acupressure points are held in special patterns designed to relieve soreness, stress and tension. An overall sense of improved well-being and relaxation is experienced as the chi flow is harmonized through your meridian system.  This Bodymind Acupressure® also gently encourages the releases of old trauma and memories stored as muscle armoring.

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® Acupressure technique can assist the healing process by releasing tension, decreasing stress and encouraging a sense of increased well-being. www.jinshindo.org
