Jin Shin Do

Jin Shin Do was developed by psychotherapist, Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, who merged Reichian segmental theory and Taoist yogic philosophy and breathing into her version of the body mind continuum. Jin Shin Do combines gentle, finger pressure on points derived from Japanese acupressure and classic Chinese acupuncture theory. The practitioner holds “local points” in tension areas together with related “distal points.” She/he uses acupressure along with body focusing techniques to release emotional and physical tension.  The treatment term is 10 sessions of 90 minutes; the client is fully-clothed lying on a massage table.
