Still, sustained touch for sensitive and medically fragile clients.

What it is

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a noninvasive therapeutic practice that supports the body's natural ability to restore balance. Using light, sustained touch on specific areas of the body — often described as energy pathways — the work helps release patterns of physical discomfort, emotional stress, and fatigue.

Though sometimes compared to acupressure, Jin Shin Jyutsu is distinct: where acupressure applies focused pressure, Jin Shin Jyutsu uses gentle, still touch at a meditative pace. This makes it particularly well-suited to clients who cannot tolerate deeper bodywork.

Who this is for

— Medically fragile clients for whom traditional massage would be too much

— Clients in active oncology treatment or recovery

— End-of-life and hospice populations (sessions can be delivered in-home)

— Anyone seeking deep, quiet, nervous-system-focused care

— Stress, anxiety, sleep difficulty, chronic conditions, or headaches

What a session looks like 

You remain fully clothed and rest comfortably. I hold specific positions on the body with sustained, still contact, progressing through a series shaped by what you're working with. Sessions are quiet; many clients fall asleep.

Pricing

 Sessions from $125 / 60 minutes.
