High Touch Jin Shin Jyutsu

Why I want to be an Animal Therapist.

I was initially introduced to High Touch Jin Shin through my partner who is a human practitioner. I was always a little sceptical about so call 'Holistic Therapies' and always viewed them as a bit hippy-ish.

"a gentle oriental healing art"

When he did his course in Acupressure I was his test subject and I was astounded at how simple yet effective energy balancing was. I must admit that I didn't have many physical ailments but it relieved my PMS, rejuvinated tired legs after a hard days work and generally made me feel more energetic and full of vitality.

He, on the other hand, benefitted greatly from it. He would often use the flows on himself and taught me a few to work on him for parts that he couldn't reach! He also feels more in tune with his body and has cured his IBS and a lot of anxiety that he felt. He also has slipped discs in his lower back and no longer feels the pain that often put him in agony.

I have to admit, I was converted. So much so that I attempted to correspond the Human flows with one of my rescue dogs, a Boxer named Ralphie, that had a very sensitive back and would often twitch when touched in certain places.

Ralphie was also converted and would lie happily while I treated him. Ralphie got a lot better and was full of vitality once again but I didn't feel as though the treatments were quite as effective on him as they were on us, so I began researching High Touch Jin Shin for animals.

In the UK I found Sue Kelly, who treats Horses as well as people, so I contacted her and she put me in touch with Nancy Camp from the US. http://wholehorsetraining.com/

I emailed Nancy with my interest in treating animals and she offered to come to the UK in March to teach me.


I have booked the High Touch Jin Shin Animal Practitioner course for 27th-30th March and have advertised for like minded individuals to join me in learning this wonderful art.

I am really excited about starting this course and am truly happy that I have finally decided what I want to do with my life in terms of career. I have spent too long 'working for the man' in many jobs that haven't really given me the satisfaction that I am sure will come with helping animals.

What is High Touch Jin Shin Jyustu?

About High Touch Jin Shin Jyutsu

Ancient Eastern and Western Medical philosophies teaches about the Universal life force that runs through everything, including us. This energy breathes life into the body and keeps beings connected to the Universal life force that surrounds us. It flows through organs and bones, and revitalizes the blood and every part of the body along a network of internal pathways called meridians. These pathways can get blocked and when ignored these blockages can manifest themselves in the body as ailments and aches and pains. These blockages can also cause mental and emotional imbalances

A scientific explanation for acupressure is that the pressure applied to the acupoints releases tension in muscle fibres and stimulates deep sensory nerves in the body. This causes a chemical release of endorphins and other substances. These substances, once released in the body, can help with pain relief, assist healing or be used for anaesthetic purposes.


Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle and non-invasive ancient eastern practice following the principles of oriental energy therapy. Using the fingers and hands to balance energy, eliminate stress,create emotional equilibrium, relieve pain and alleviate acute or chronic conditions with a gentle but penetrating touch.
Jin Shin shares the same concepts as acupuncture, which when applied, supports rather than pushes the flow of natural life energy.

An art more than 2000 years old, Jin Shin Jyutsu was dramatically revived in the early 1900’s by Japanese Master, Jiro Murai. One of his original students, Mary Burmeister, introduced it to the United States in the 1960’s, where it has quietly become recognized as an alternative means to aid in healing in conjunction with traditional "Western" medical care.

While the principles of this Art remain the same it has since been adapted to other species. Like their human counterparts, animals can have mental and physical challenges that are caused by energy blockages. Many animals also have points on their bodies that directly correspond to ours, called "Safety Energy Locks" which means that using the same principles and truths that apply to work with people also can bring harmony to animals. As a result, the bond between animals and humans is strengthened.
