Midwest Acupressure and Massage Therapy Debrah L Roemisch

I am a Registered Jin Shin Do® Acupressurist and an Authorized Jin Shin Do® Teacher www.jinshindo.org

and I am an Indiana licensed Massage Therapist

“Jin Shin Do” means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit.” Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques, to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the “Qi” or energy, and improve vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress- and trauma- related problems. A unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classic Chinese acupressure and acupuncture theory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong (breathing and exercise techniques), Reichian segmental theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy. Originated by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, Jin Shin Do® Acupressure promotes a pleasant trancelike state. Generally a “local point” in a tense area is held together with related “distal points” which, though distant from the tense area, help it to release because of functional and energetic relationships.

Massage Therapy:

I have studied various modalities of massage/bodywork and utilize what works best for you! Clients often comment that my pressure is "just right" --not too hard, not too soft!

Herbalist:

I completed a 360 hour program with www.heartofherbs.com (there is no national or state certification or licensing for herbalism in the USA).

Holistic Health:

I have studied and practiced various holistic health methods since 1978, including: Western massage, deep muscle release, Shiatsu, Macrobiotic philosophy/cooking, natural foods, herbs, various forms of yoga, Taiji Quan, Qigong, and JSD® Bodymind Acupressure®. I completed my training to be a Jin Shin Do® Acupressurist in 1994 and then in 2000, I completed all of the requirements to be an Authorized Jin Shin Do® Teacher.

My philosophy:

Are you like Goldilocks when it comes to massage or bodywork?
Have you had massage that was too hard or too soft? Or not focused where you needed it? Or the massage was good but the room was too cold or too hot? Or the table was not comfortable or the music annoying?  I am able to give deep pressure to those who need it, yet am sensitive to those who respond best to light pressure!

I will customize every session to fit what you need and want--making adjustments so that you are truly comfortable.

I can also teach you simple techniques such as self-acupressure or Qigong exercises to use at home to enhance relaxation and pain relief, so you will feel good for a much longer time!

“Traditional Asian healing and philosophy views body, mind and spirit as one inseparable unity and when I work with clients it is always with the recognition of this".

“Working on the body, paying attention to the mind and honoring the spirit is an integral part of the work that I do.”

Pricing:

All sessions are the same cost--no confusing pricing levels for different kinds of treatment: $70.00 for 60 minutes and $80 for 75 minutes.

Gift Certificates are available!

Teaching:

I am authorized to teach JSD Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels; I also teach a self help class of JSD self acupressure and Qigong. For descriptions of JSD classes please see the link at the top of this page for the JIn Shin Do® Foundation

I will list current classes on my substack and on my FB business page-- see links below.

Healthy environment:

Synthetic fragrances/perfumes and some essential oils are toxic and I react with migraines to many of these toxins so I ask that clients please use fragrance free products as much as possible for my health as well as yours!

At this time,  I am not requiring clients and students to wear masks--however if you have any cough or sinus issues(even if you think it is allergies) please wear a mask!  I still sanitize after every session and air the room out.  Also, I am continuing the same policy I started at the beginning of the pandemic in regards to cancellations—if you feel the least bit sick or you have possibly been exposed to any virus, you can call and cancel even at the last minute and there will be no cancellation fee. Same for students—I will refund your deposit if you are sick! Please wash hands thoroughly before a session or class! Cancellation fee is $25 without 24 hr notice except for emergency. Full price if no notice.
