About Jin Shin Do®
“Jin Shin Do” means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit.” Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® sessions use 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.
It is so relaxing….
Who is Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® for?
In a word, everyone. Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® is relaxation therapy (no needles). I read somewhere that to say you’re stressed out is considered socially acceptable, and I wonder why? By releasing tension regularly you may find you are able to remain present, connected and relaxed, tapping into your own inner wisdom, guidance and inspiration. Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® utilizes the deepest flows called Wondrous, or Strange Flows, as well as the meridians that have an overall balancing effect long after the session is over. When your Vital Energy is flowing freely, you have an incredible sense of well-being, connection and perspective of what is so for you. Words cannot impart that feeling. You must experience the deep sense of relaxation for yourself.
What is Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®? How is it different from acupuncture?
The most obvious difference is, no needles.
Asian people held points with their fingers first. This means people were having measurable experiences before the needles. According to Acupressure: Way of Health: Jin Shin Do® by Iona Marsaa Teguarden, the founder of Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®, there is no stronger conductor of ki in the world than the human hand.

Testimonials
Had my first ever experience with Jin Shin Do and I must say it was great! I had a head and neck release and I was sooo relaxed afterwards I could have napped! Julie explained thoroughly what she will be doing and what to expect. I liked that she asks how much pressure I wanted (I prefer deeper). It was very client centred care! I look forward to my next one.
Highly Recommend!! As a business owner as well as a single mother I rarely have time to put myself first. Julie was very accommodating when working with my busy schedule. Jin Shin Do was such a subtlety relaxing experience, and what Julie described as an “energy release” left me with a sense of serenity that lasted for hours. The added bonus was the amazing sleep I had that night. I am definitely looking forward to more sessions!
My first acupressure appointment with Julie was very positive. Julie took the time to ensure I was comfortable, relaxed, and demonstrated her extensive knowledge throughout. I look forward to scheduling another appointment with her soon and I highly recommend Julie to anyone seeking support and guidance through their wellness journey.
What I enjoy most is that Julie is so personable and unique in her approach both in her yoga classes and her acupressure work. She is as attentive and calming as any healing practitioner would be while simultaneously being so down to earth. She brings a refreshing humour to the experience. She was very in tune with what my body needed and made sure I was aware of it myself. I left feeling relaxed and recharged, and that much more aware of my body. I would recommend her without any hesitation.
