How My Dog Proved Jin Shin Energy Healing Works

Brayden, my old shih tzu, developed a growth on his eyelid.
At first, I watched and waited. But as time passed, the growth kept getting bigger.
Surgery was an option, but at his age, it felt like too big a risk.
So, I turned to what I knew: Jin Shin Energy Healing.
I worked on him daily, holding energy points, harmonizing the flow of his energy. The growth stopped increasing, but it didn’t go away either.
Then, I traveled to Melbourne for a 5-day Jin Shin Jyutsu class with Wayne Hackett.
I had heard that Australia had a Jin Shin practice for animals, so I asked around for advice on how I could help my dog.
Indeed, two Australian practitioners advised me to try a Triple Warmer meridian flow.
I attempted the full sequence, but Brayden pulled away after the first step. Even that was too much for him.
So, I kept it simple. One step, repeated whenever I could.
Within two months, the growth shrank.
It became itchy. Brayden rubbed against a wall, and it FELL OFF!
However, it came back after a few months.
Curious to test if the first time was a fluke, I repeated the test.
And it fell off for the second time, proving that the first healing wasn’t an accident.
Brayden eventually passed (choking on treats—he always did love his food). But his journey proved something to me:
Energy healing isn’t just theory. It works.
I work with animals to rule out the placebo effect.
Brayden’s story changed my entire perspective on what is possible.
When I Thought Nothing Could Help
—This Changed Everything
After a particularly stressful student recital at the Arts House, I was left with a restless, nervous energy that clung to me like a weight on my chest. Days passed, but the tension didn’t ease.
I knew something was wrong, but my symptoms didn’t feel “serious” enough to warrant medical help. So, I endured it — exhausted, unsettled, and unsure where to turn.
That’s when a friend in the performing arts suggested I try Jin Shin. Desperate for relief, I went to see a practitioner she recommended.
The results were immediate: my body relaxed, my breath deepened, and the restlessness finally lifted. It felt like I had been reset — calm, clear, and present again.
Curious and inspired, I kept going back. Each session brought more balance, more resilience. Before long, I wasn’t just experiencing Jin Shin — I was studying it. Within two years, I completed my teacher requirements and began weaving its principles into my work with performers.
Today, Jin Shin is the foundation of my health, my energy, and my method — and it’s my hope that it brings the same balance and renewal to you.
