I have improved greatly physically, but the\nmost surprising part is how much I have gained mentally. Shaun\u2019s treatments are\nmore than just treatments\u2014they are a transformation for both body and mind.\nIt is difficult to describe precisely in words because it goes far deeper than the body\nalone. The treatments have given me inner peace, balance, joy, new energy, better\nsleep, and I experience less pain. I feel stronger in myself and have begun to\nprioritize myself. Previously, I was \u201ca people pleaser\u201d and struggled with setting\nboundaries. I was always in high gear and didn\u2019t feel peace or joy in my body.\nThat is now in the past, and a new beginning has opened up for me. Shaun is a\nsoulful, warm, and empathetic person, which creates a safe space where you feel\nseen and understood. I am deeply grateful for all that I have received. I hope others\nwill give themselves the gift that Shaun\u2019s treatment can provide.\nShaun certainly receives my warmest recommendation.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-955affa\" data-id=\"955affa\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7899fb7 elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"7899fb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe went to Shaun because I had heard that he had a special gift.\nOur little Sara (not her real name) had suffered from stress and anxiety for several\nmonths and was having trouble sleeping.\nShaun didn\u2019t ask at all about what her problems were or what was challenging her,\nbecause he was \u2018more interested in where she was going instead.\u2019\nAfter only three very short treatments, each lasting about 3\u20134 minutes, where he\nplaced his fingers on certain points on Sara\u2019s head while we all talked about her\nfavorite things, she is now balanced, confident, happy, and a cheeky little girl full of\nenergy.

Gradually, I\n\u2018returned\u2019 on reduced hours, but after a couple of years I crashed for the second time\n\u2014and this time permanently. I was on the maximum dose of antidepressants, which\nbarely kept me alive\u2014but I could barely manage anything, not even the things that\nhad previously brought me joy and meaning (things that could have given me even a\nlittle more quality of life and energy).\nBoth my general practitioner and psychiatrist had tried everything, but to no avail. A\nprevious psychological course had been completed successfully but was also\nconcluded because no further progress could be made; and my application for early\nretirement went through remarkably smoothly. Everyone around me\u2014not only family\nand friends, but also my former workplace and social services\u2014was kind,\nunderstanding, compassionate, supportive, and relieving; yet there was so little \u2018fuel\u2019\nleft that I could not live in a way that justified continuing to exist.\nI loved my family, my job (which was extremely meaningful), and my sport (which I\nhad taught for many years, a lifelong practice where the top practitioners are all over\n70)\u2014but now I could neither contribute at home nor at work, and I could not manage\nany training. Suicidal thoughts were a daily companion.\nThen I ended up with Shaun, whom I had previously heard describe his work with\nJapanese \u2018body-mind acupressure\u2019\u2014a method uniquely focused on balancing not\nonly the body but also the mind. I must honestly admit that, although I consider\nmyself open-minded, I am trained (and very well-grounded) in Western science; so I\napproached the first session with openness to the idea that it might help (a little!)\nwith my condition, but still with some skepticism\u2014and, not least, with a slightly\ncynical awareness that my state could hardly get much worse, and that, in any case,\nI would not lose my place in the queue to the undertaker.\nWhen I rose from the table after the first treatment, I felt two things: My \u2018baseline\nmood\u2019 had improved slightly\u2014not dramatically, but clearly enough that I was certain;\nand my fundamental energy level had risen a little\u2014again, not dramatically, but to a\nlevel I had not felt in many years. Life felt less unbearable than before.\nAfter the second treatment, a week later, there was a similar lift compared to the first\nsession; and I continued with weekly treatments for about four months. Along the\nway, there were various fluctuations, and I began to feel different emotions that had\nbeen shut down for a long time\u2014not always pleasant, but always \u2018useful\u2019 and\nworkable. The consistent theme throughout the process was a quiet but steadily\nincreasing mood\u2014especially courage for life\u2014and a corresponding rise in energy\nlevels.\nAt present, I have moved to a \u2018maintenance level,\u2019 attending treatments about once a\nmonth\u2014both to keep progress going and to address any issues early. Professionally,\nI remain on early retirement, and at present, this is unlikely to change. But what is\ncrucial for me is that I am now able to be more present for my family (in the way I\nwant to be present\u2014not just physically), to find more peace and joy in daily life, and\nto resume my sport, even at a reasonable level!\nSuicidal thoughts have become far less frequent\u2014and when they do appear, they\nare far less intense than before. My longstanding craving for sugar, which often\naccompanies depression (and can noticeably increase weight), has disappeared:\nsuddenly, but quietly\u2014midway between two treatments\u2014I woke up and realized it\nhad been there yesterday, but it was gone today, and it has not returned since. It has\nbecome a discreet aversion to sugar\u2014I can eat sugary foods if I want, but literally, I\nam mostly free of the craving!\nSo far, my new state of life quality has lasted several months, with no sign of\nfaltering. My \u2018old\u2019\u2014hopeless!\u2014state had lasted a couple of years without\nimprovement, so I can find no other explanation than the treatment sessions with\nShaun (which were the only \u2018life-changing\u2019 intervention I undertook during that\nperiod). I have also noticed positive changes after each session, often immediately\nafter leaving the table\u2014showing me clearly that it is the treatments that have had the\neffect.\nI can therefore only recommend Shaun and Jin Shin Do acupressure wholeheartedly\n\u2014even if you think your situation is hopeless! The acupressure really works; and\nbeyond being extremely skilled and knowledgeable, Shaun is also an exceptional\nprofessional and person: empathetic, calm, attentive, understanding, perceptive,\ndedicated, and with a warm, gentle humor\u2014in short, a rock of security and\ncompetence.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8702d2 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8702d2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dd9358e\" data-id=\"dd9358e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d25b0f6 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d25b0f6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-52209cb\" data-id=\"52209cb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a7bbb9 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a7bbb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Let\u2019s Talk!\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74aa7cd elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74aa7cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I would love to hear from you!
