“I found my passion in the form of Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ whilst working on an International ski resort in Canada,” she explains. “I was so happy, that I wanted to call out “I found it, I finally found it!” In fact, I think I did find something that resonated very deeply for me. Discovering Jin Shin Do was almost a relief. This amazing technique improved my massage skills by allowing me to utilize the wisdom of the meridians. Tensions simply melt away, allowing my clients to relax deeply and explore places within themselves. For my clients and also for myself, I advocate self acupressure. I often hold points on myself during the day or night, and this has definitely kept me fit and strong.”
Sarah finds the Chinese system of the Five Elements wonderfully colourful with its understanding of the seasons and the 12 upright officials (organ meridians).”Taoism fed a part of me that badly needed attention, and helped me to follow the path of least resistance,” she continues. “Training with some of the best teachers in British Columbia made me so inspired, intrigued and impressed by this amazing technique that I followed my path to Southern California. There I was taught by the founder of Jin Shin Do®, Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, the author of three incredible books and texts for Jin Shin Do® classes. (www.jinshindo.org) Since then I have returned numerous times to complete my training as a practitioner and teacher, sand have assisted with classes in Wisconsin, USA and Vancouver, Canada. I love to travel and it is my pleasure to travel to teach Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ classes.” |
