Questions are the start of learning. This page is an evolving collection of questions I’m often asked about Jin Shin Jyutsu. If you have a question that isn’t listed here, ring me and I’ll be glad to chat about it. You can also ask your question through email or text message.
What is Jin Shin Jyutsu?
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle holistic therapy that helps your body release tension, reduce stress, and improve overall functions. This therapy uses light touch to harmonize your energy through specific places on the body. These specific places are located along the energetic meridians similar to those used in acupuncture and reflexology.
JSJ sessions – what happens?
This is the first step on your JSJ journey. When you come for a JSJ session, you can simply relax. If you’ve ever gone for a massage, reiki, reflexology or acupuncture, you have an idea of how wonderful JSJ can be for you. JSJ supports your body’s natural healing capacity.
While you’re receiving your treatment, you’ll rest comfortably on a padded massage table. You’ll feel the lightest of touches to help improve your personal energy. This is all done through your clothes with great respect and care.
Each session includes:
- a whole-you energy assessment
- a personalized gentle touch treatment to help you feel better.
- support after your session
What should I wear to a session?
Clients often ask – what should I wear to my session?
Really you can come as you are – whether you’re in your most comfy clothes or in business casual on a quick break from work.
One client even attended in a sparkly outfit before an evening out.
The most important thing is that you’re comfortable.
Sessions are carried out fully clothed – you need remove only your shoes and your watch. Loose, comfortable clothing is best – and clients often like to wear socks (this is optional). Ladies should wear trousers or leggings, rather than a skirt.
Do I need to wear a face mask?
Face coverings are not required currently for JSJ sessions with Energy Flows.
In some cases, clients opt to wear a mask. I’m happy to wear a mask as well – just ask.
I take your health and safety – and that of all my clients – very seriously. I minimise the risk of viral transmission through good hygiene practices. In addition, I have adopted the following measures in consideration of the COVID19 pandemic.

- I use hand sanitiser before and after every appointment.
- The treatment room has windows that can be opened weather permitting.
- I monitor the CO2 levels.
- I run a HEPA filter throughout the session.
- I fully sanitise the room between clients.Co
What can Jin Shin Jyutsu help with?
Very simply – physical, emotional, mental – and even when you’re not sure what’s wrong.
Physical – our bodies function well when we’re not stressed, when we’re not overwhelmed by external circumstances, and when we’re taking care of ourselves. I often think when someone has a specific concern: well, there’s a flow for that. It’s not a case that Jin Shin Jyutsu solves all our problems. But, rather that it supports our body and our innate ability to heal ourselves. We should consult with our doctor to ensure that we’re in the best of health. Jin Shin Jyutsu is a wonderful complement to traditional medicine.
Emotional – everything in our beings is connected. When we’re experiencing difficult emotions, they can affect how we’re feeling physically and affect our mental processes. Even more so, when we have a persistent emotional state, it may be difficult to see a different way of being. Jin Shin Jyutsu can support us as we’re dealing with difficult emotions – and give us space to process things and connect with a broader perspective.
Mental – thinking clearly is very difficult when we’re stressed or physically taxed. In addition, when we’re holding tightly to our concerns, we tend to accumulate extra energy – this extra energy can things more difficult. Often, I find that people are holding their muscles tight (especially in their backs and shoulders), and this keeps too much energy in our heads. Not a good place to be.
When our energy is flowing freely, we feel well and have the energy to do things in our lives.
