This is a 2 weekend course of 6 days: March 20-21-22 AND April 17-18-19, 2026. Students must attend all days of the workshop for credits.

Jin Shin Do® can help to relieve tension and stress, reduce pain and discomfort, reestablish the balance of energy between body and mind, and increase client self-awareness. It promotes a pleasant trance state in which the client can move out of the head and into the body, to access creative self-healing and release stagnant energy and stress patterns.

Jin Shin Do® combines gentle yet deep finger pressure on acupoints with body focusing techniques to facilitate the release of physical and emotional tensions and armoring.

The class will cover release methods for 32 points of common stress, tension, and pain, introduction to body-focusing, segmental release using 45 Jin Shin Do® points and the bodymind associations of the segments, master and couple points, and using contact statements and tracking. It will also include strange flow theory and basic release patterns, and how to combine strange flows with the segments.

What to Bring: Sheets/Blanket & face cradle cover for each day.  Massage tables will be provided. A lunch break will be taken each day.

PREREQUISITE: C500 Unwind, Rock & Move - Level 1

CE Credits: 13 Hours

Cost: $345 ($390 if registering within 7 days of class)

Unwind, Rock and Move- Level 2 is the methodology in which I now work with my massage clients and was created by first working with myself in pursuit of healing mind, body and spirit over many years.

Building on the techniques learned in Unwind, Rock and Move, this class moves into using the technique with unclothed bodywork.  This class is mostly hands-on with some discussion. 

It is my belief that our bodies were made to heal naturally when given the space and freedom to do so. When we slow down, make connection to the spirit within us and move where that spirit leads, we find freedom and fluidity.  This fluidity encourages good health and balance (homeostasis)to our overall wellbeing….and isn’t that what every human needs!

I look forward to sharing how I work with each of you!

What to Bring: Sheets/face cradle cover/blanket for each day of class for your personal usage.  Your favorite lubrication/lotion that glides easily.  Where clothing that allows you to easily give massage as we will be trading work in the class.

A lunch break will be taken midday.
