THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SELF ACUPRESSURE  
 
 

November 16th, 2008
12:00-6:00pm

With Nadia Stevens, practitioner of Jin Shin Do® and Craniosacral therapy.


Acupressure is a generic term coined by Westerners to describe any health art involving the simple application of pressure to the traditional acu-points. Acu-points are the points used in Acupressure and Acupuncture. Jin Shin Do® is much more than basics, yet in its basic form it may be the most accessible form of self-acupressure.
Jin Shin Do® means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit”.
In this workshop we will learn the 25 point Self-Acupressure Session, as well as extra points for Acupressure Self-Care, which can aid in many common ailments such as menstrual discomforts, headaches, backaches, nausea, constipation, heartburn

Course Cost: $95
Call Nadia: 514.484.8626 - Please pre-register by October 17th, 2008
