What is Jin Shin Do®?

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® is a very special treatment of the bodymind which was developed during the 1970’s by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa Teeguarden.

”Acupressure” means that one uses finger pressure instead of needles as in acupuncture.

Jin Shin Do® is based on traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classical Chinese acupuncture theory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong, Wilhelm Reich’s segment theory and principles from Milton H. Erickson’s psychotherapy.

We try to balance the energy of the bodymind, “Qi”, by the use of gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points, and use verbal Body Focusing techniques to help release muscular "armouring" or chronic tension.

Jin Shin Do® promotes a pleasant trance-like state, in which one can relax and move out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom.
