Where This Training Began

In 1994, a student at the Acupressure Institute gave me a 45-min session of Tui Na, Shiatsu, and a form of acupressure known as Jin Shin. By the end, my body felt like it had been turned 180-degrees on the table at some point but, when I opened my eyes, I was surprised to find I was in my original position and wondered when she moved me. It took a moment to realize I never moved. When I stood on the floor again, my body had the odd sensation of extending 3 feet around me. I was floating in the heavens, yet more grounded and centered than I recalled ever feeling before. Then my whole being felt struck by a thunderbolt of certainty:

I must learn how to do this for others.

When I took my first shiatsu class the following year, I found it was as easy to learn it as it was when my mother taught it to me when I was 10.
I began teaching couples and family members how to do this for each other after I realized that ~99% of people can't afford to have professionals do this work for them. When the 2020 pandemic happened, I realized how to make this more affordable and accessible by offering my training manual with optional live video coaching.

The Training Manual Includes:

  • Orientation, preparation, and illustrated instructions.
  • Education and resources to support your development.
  • Optimal Lifestyle Tips.
  • Holistic Health Evaluation to help track your results.

Mastery is easy

In Evidence-based Therapeutic Massage — A Practical Guide for Therapists (3rd Edition, December 17, 2010), authors Elizabeth A. Holey and Eileen M. Cook wrote: “Stroking and rubbing of the tissues probably evolved from the instinctive contact observed in other mammals.” In Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy: From Art to Evidence (1st Edition, April 10, 2015), Chapter 13, authors Leslie Davis Rudzinski and Gregory S. Johnson wrote: “Massage may be the oldest form of medical care.”
