Profound and Exciting! Taking Jin Shin Do classes from Stephen Markman has changed my life and I…read morebelieve his instruction is exactly what many of my energy medicine, body work, and psychotherapy provider-colleagues are searching for to further their personal and professional development. Stephen is a master teacher. He is not only expert on the practice of Jin Shin Do, but he has an uncanny ability to connect with and engage his students which maximizes learning opportunities whether working on people in practice sessions or understanding the fundamentals of Jin Shin Do. Moreover, Stephen embodies the spirit of Jin Shin Do through his process, treatment paradigms, and perhaps most importantly, his exquisite manner of honoring the person being treated. It is this last point that stands out above all others and greatly differentiates Stephen and Jin Shin Do from other amazing modalities. I am a student and teacher of Reiki, Medical Qigong, meditation, etc. and for years, I have always approached my clients from a place of light, compassion, and non-judgement. Stephen's classes took me to the next levels and have forever polished my approach towards treating others. Before taking Stephen's classes, I witnessed a handful of Jin Shin Do sessions and knew that learning Jin Shin Do was the next step for me and my clinical development. Since those classes, the mixture of detailed acupressure methods, mind body processing, and release and healing is rapidly becoming the most important technique that I provide while working with others. Applying acupressure provides a unique physicality where clients find great benefit. During sessions, clients always remark on the relaxed feelings in their previously tense musculature (such as during neck and shoulder releases), but the benefit continues long after the session has ended. The acupressure reestablishes the essential energetic flows needed for proper health and mind/body/spirit balance. The mind body processing aspect of Jin Shin Do honors the mental, emotional, and physical facets of a person at the moment of treatment while also helping them process any past emotional or mental memories that bubble up during sessions. The results are profound and I've seen many clients find great benefit who have had abuse issues, chronic pain and fatigue, past trauma, and more. My clinical practice has been elevated because of Stephen's Jin Shin Do classes. I highly recommend him! Michael Torok, PhD

From the owner: Sessions & CE Classes available. A synthesis of acupuncture theory, a Japanese acupressure…read moretechnique, Western body-mind theories & Taoist practices. Considering both body & psyche , Jin Shin Do® uses acu-point combinations along with breathing & body-focusing techniques to release deep muscle tension. As these areas of tension begin to release, one becomes increasingly aware of the connection between body, mind, & feelings. Pain & tension begin to be seen as messages, while the recipient gradually becomes more comfortable with their feelings & memories, & more accepting of themselves & others. This awareness allows for resolution of long-standing physical & emotional issues. Sessions tend to feel deeply meditative. Clients lay on a massage table clothed & comfortable. This is a non-invasive approach honoring the inner self. Open House / Free Demo's: None scheduled * NEXT 40 C.E 5-day Module I: Basic Class - Mt.Airy Fall of 2026 or Spring of 2027 Cost: $650
