The Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ Facial

Explore the power of touch as you learn and experience this unique art of energy re-balancing and deep (yet gentle) release of muscular tension and armoring.  Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure is a body-mind release method using gentle, direct pressure on the Chinese acu-points to release stress and muscular tension, reduce pain and discomfort, increase self-awareness, and re-establish energic balance in the mind and body.  In its most basic form, it is simple and easy for anyone to learn and use.  In the hands of a skilled and sensitive practitioner, it can be a powerful, profoundly effective and transformative tool.  Its versatility is also unsurpassed in incorporating it with any other modality.

This facial works with the main neck points, called “Windows of the Sky,” as well as with other points on the face and head, releasing tension and aiding circulation of  ”Qi” up and down the body, to open the “windows.”.  It was originally developed for cosmetologists, uses only points on the face, head, neck, arms and hands. Wonderfully relaxing!

Learn (List of Objectives):

  • The 12-step acurpressure facial – 40 face/head points for inner and outer beauty
  • The 5-step Basic Neck and Shoulder Release, using 6 pairs of primary trigger points
  • 10 vital hand points
