Recently I’ve been reminded I need to honor my own authority and trust my intuition. In July 2012, a routine doctor’s appointment revealed unexpected weight loss which led to a diagnosis of celiac disease. By the time of diagnosis, my autoimmune response to gluten caused my small intestine’s villi, normally hair-like structures waving around catching nutrients, to flatten. Over the first year or so my health improved dramatically while I ate gluten-free and meticulously avoided possible sources of gluten cross-contamination but since August of this year I’ve experienced increasing digestive issues and exhaustion.
My sudden health reversal after months of improvement led me to try healing modalities I normally wouldn’t consider. I tried to follow the recommended protocols and to take whatever wisdom and support I could find, but eventually realized I must trust my own sense of what does and doesn’t work for me. While I found useful bits and pieces during my search for help, this experience primarily reminded me I don’t respond well to physically intense treatments, supplements, or when a practitioner finds their beliefs more compelling than my truth. Jin Shin Jyutsu®, the Akashic Records, “food as medicine,” and meditation remain essential healing components for me.
The takeaway from my experience: You must honor your own knowing and exert your authority on your own behalf. Even when ill or desperate, you still know better than anyone what you need. What worked for someone else may or may not align to you. If one approach fit everyone, we’d only need one approach! Likewise do not allow anyone else’s apparent authority to veto your own knowing. While you need practitioners with confidence in their work, you also want them to honor your reality and experience. Get as calm and quiet as you can and listen to your inner expert around what you need.

Ideally practitioners help you access what works for you. Have you encountered people who helped you trust your knowing? How do you get quiet enough to hear your own inner expert?
I love watching my own videos, as odd as it sounds. When I hear other people criticize their own videos, I remember what it was like to be hard on myself but I'm also struck by how far I've shifted from self-conscious to soul conscious.
Holiday traditions need to evolve as we do. People pleasers especially need to pay attention to their inner landscape to explore what does and doesn't resonate in present time.
From Jin Shin Jyutsu® acupressure, we know harmony begins with the breath. Balanced exhale and inhale, as well as other forms of giving and receiving, support health and awareness.
We open with a 45 minute or so Akashic Records consultation. The revealed themes, patterns, and disharmonies drive the table work in conjunction with your "pulses," body reading, and my intuitive insights. A follow-up e-mail documents what occurs during the energy work and includes customized self-helps.
In this work, you remain fully clothed. Just wear whatever will feel comfortable while lying on my massage table. If it's a remote session, I'll ask you to rest while I send energy.
Please consider the personal or interpersonal disharmony that led you to me and how you would like it to shift. During the session, we'll explore and address the origins and drivers of each "project."
No, the records aren’t a good resource for predictions. If there’s something you hope will happen, the records might reveal a series of necessary steps to reach your desired outcome but not the timing. For predictions, please consult a good psychic or astrologer!
Minors are under their parents' legal and energetic jurisdiction until they are 18, regardless of their maturity level.
The greatest benefit occurs when I incorporate all four modalities I practice. The option without the Akashic Records is appropriate for children under 18 who cannot receive readings. A stand-alone reading can bring insight and healing but does not involve my direct interaction with your energetic and physical bodies like my other practices.
No, but you are welcome to record sessions yourself.
Self-helps, both from Jin Shin Jyutsu and the Embodied Energy System, support your continued harmony, accelerate your evolution, and empower you. Plus they make you sparkly!
