The TARA Approach​
jin shin tara for Nervous System Restoration

This powerful modality balances the energy systems and restores the nervous system by working at the cellular level, allowing for a deep sense of reconnection to Self. This unique trauma-informed modality integrates the ancient Japanese energy medicine Jin Shin with Neuropsychology. Developed by Neuropsychologist Dr. Stephanie Mines, this approach aims to be a Tool for Awakening Resources and Awareness (hence the name TARA).​

A combination of 26 points aka the Sacred Sites of the Body are gently held working with the nervous system to activate the body's self-healing capability. Cellular memory, unconscious emotions, thoughts and beliefs can come to the surface to be resolved and released during sessions. Clients can feel a profound sense of being serenity as well as the resolution of shocks/traumas through intentional dialogue with the practitioner. As Jin Shin TARA is steeped in Self-Care, Jamie empowers clients by showing them specific points they can hold on their body to further the benefits of this work. 

​Sessions are done fully clothed and vary according to the intention of the client: clients can come to a session to work out a particular issue, explore their unconscious mind/body, to experience profound relaxation and connection to their body or it can be incorporated into  other offerings. Another session option is to do a Rediscovery Journey©: a simple visualization process facilitated by the practitioner to access cellular memory in the client's body. These Journeys can bring to our conscious awareness how we came to have certain patterns, beliefs and behaviors as we are guided to empower ourselves to not only integrate past experiences but evolve beyond them.

"Jamie supported me after a head injury, to specifically work on calming the nervous system and working with the trauma. The combination of massage and Jin Shin TARA was amazing.
