JIN SHIN DO® BODYMIND ACUPRESSURE™

Kamala Quale is a senior practitioner and teacher of JIN SHIN DO® BODYMIND ACUPRESSURE™. Jin Shin Do is a gentle yet deep, slow-paced method of finger pressure therapy developed by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa Teeguarden. In Jin Shin Do finger pressure on specific acu-points is used together with Body Focusing techniques and is especially effective in addressing both physical tension and emotional conditions.

Jin Shin Do is a complete system of Asian bodywork approved by the American Organization of Body Therapies of Asia (AOBTA). It is based on principles of classical Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophy, which addresses body, mind and spirit as a complete whole. Jin Shin Do integrates insights from western bodywork and psychology in its framework. During a Jin Shin Do session you experience a pleasant, relaxed state in which you can move out of your head and into your body to access feelings and inner wisdom. Jin Shin Do means “Way of the Compassionate Spirit.”

Kamala combines Jin Shin Do methods and Hakomi body focusing techniques together with acupuncture to create a deeply healing mind and body therapy. To schedule an appointment call (541) 345-2220.
