I’m here for you and your animal friends

Authorized Practitioner, Self-Help Instructor, & Jin Shin Jyutsu for Your Animal Companions Faculty Member

Throughout my life, I’ve been interested in holistic health practices, but in 2003 I saw first-hand the positive improvements family members experienced utilizing something I had never heard of, Jin Shin Jyutsu. The positive benefits they described for the physical and emotional effects of cancer and its treatment changed the direction of my life.

Their experiences inspired me to seek Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments for myself which improved my own health and well-being. My experience sparked my interest in this art, not knowing that Jin Shin Jyutsu would become my life work. After 5 years of training, I opened my private practice and began volunteering my services to local hospitals and hospice centers including the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center, where I created a formal Jin Shin Jyutsu program. I’m grateful to the Lexington Cancer Foundation for the seed money to start what became a 10 year collaboration with physicians, surgeons, nurses, psychologists, social workers and other integrative therapists in all areas of the university’s medical center.

As a practitioner and self-care instructor, I continue to share my experience and knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu to guide others to find balanced physical and emotional health through treatments, teaching, and speaking engagements. My love of animals has expanded my practice to include them as well - primarily equine, canine and feline. As a faculty member of Jin Shin Jyutsu for Your Animal Companions I share what I know with in-person and online classes and through social media.
