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.
