Discover the Healing Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu with Ann Nielsen in the Sierra Foothills
Her journey into this ancient Japanese healing art began with a sudden and intense pain in her back. The pain was so severe she considered calling an ambulance. But following a friend’s simple instruction—to place one hand on her shoulder and sit on the other—brought unexpected relief. Within 20 minutes, the pain vanished. That moment sparked a life-changing path: Ann dove into studying Jin Shin Jyutsu and eventually became both a certified practitioner and a self-help practitioner.
What Is Jin Shin Jyutsu
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a hands-on healing art that uses gentle touch to restore energy flow through the body. The body has specific points—like circuit breakers—that can become blocked by stress or trauma. When a practitioner holds two of these points at the same time, energy is encouraged to move again, bringing relief and balance.
What to Expect in a Session
Each session begins with a conversation about your health history and current needs. Ann then listens to your wrist pulses—six in each wrist—to assess the function of your organs and decide where to begin.
Clients lie fully clothed on a table while Ann places her hands lightly on specific points, often under the body, using only the weight of the body itself as the touch pressure.
There’s no force, no pressure—just gentle presence and energy work. Pulsing in the points and energy movement can indicate when to move to the next position.
How Jin Shin Jyutsu Helps
From relieving the pain of a wasp sting to easing the side effects of cancer treatments like chemotherapy, the range of Jin Shin Jyutsu’s effectiveness is wide. Many clients feel deeply relaxed and renewed after just one session.
Backed by Science and Tradition
While rooted in traditional Eastern philosophy, Jin Shin Jyutsu is also taught in medical settings, including teaching hospitals. Specific in-person classes offer Continuing Education Units for nurses, acupuncturists, and massage therapists.
Self-Help You Can Use
Ann is not only a practitioner but also a self-help practitioner, teaching clients simple techniques they can use at home. These practices empower people to care for their own well-being through touch and awareness.
Discover What Gentle Healing Can Do for You
Whether you’re seeking relief from physical pain, emotional stress, or simply looking to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms, a Jin Shin Jyutsu session with Ann Nielsen offers a gentle and powerful path to healing.
