I ran a private massage therapy practice for 20 years. I worked using many different modalities and enjoyed them. I was introduced to Jin Shin Jyutsu in 2001 through several continuing education courses. When I retired from my massage practice I turned my focus to Jin Shin. I continue to study and practice and feel that this energy work is what I am meant to do. I want to introduce people to Jin Shin and teach others the about the abilities they and their bodies have to heal themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. My practice include Jin Shin treatments as well as teaching self help.

She has been devoted to alternative healing, somatic practice and somatic study since her early 20’s. She was introduced to Jin Shin Jyutsu in 1999, when she was suffering from debilitating symptoms that she was dealing with from Lymes disease. Jin Shin was so deeply restorative and healing to her nervous system and she had never experienced any other healing art like it. Those sessions stayed with her throughout her life and in 2022 she began her journey with The Art of Jin Shin. As a practitioner, she now offers in person sessions and offers self-help one on one sessions.

Welcome to Konadu Health & Wellness, where I help people transform the way they live in their body through the power of touch. As a licensed massage therapist, I’m specialized in the Art of Jin Shin and John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach- both therapies utilize gentle, non-invasive light touch to restore health and well-being back to the person. I believe everyone deserves to feel the best they can in their body, trusting in its innate healing nature. Throughout my 9 years as a practitioner in Jin Shin Jyutsu I have seen a profound change within my clients, helping them to feel more fulfilled, vibrant and healthy.

Sessions & self-help courses held in English, German and Spanish When I was a teenager, I always dreamt of living in a sunny village, surrounded by animals, close to the sea and working with people with different nationalities. So, I moved to the coast of sunny Spain and became a freelance translator (German/English/Spanish) and language teacher. I really loved my job, but 20 years of working until morning hours and with deadline pressure combined with childcare and housework stole nearly all my energy. That was in 2008, when I suffered from a Burn Out Syndrome and was introduced to Jin ShIn Jyutsu. This gentle art saved and changed my life dramatically. It not only brought my energy back, but also harmonized my digestion, enhanced my spirituality, and contacted me with many wonderful people (and animals) from all over the world. It was so amazing, that I decided to learn more about it and could not stop reading and taking courses… Now, as a qualified teacher of JSJ (since 2012), I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences by offering sessions for humans and animals as well as self-help courses for everybody, who wants to feel better, harmonize body, mind & soul and aspire an effortless reality.

I have been working with Jin Shin Jyutsu for over 10 years and was very fortunate to be encouraged and mentored by Editha Campbell who took her training with Mary Burmeister in the early 80’s and brought trainers over from Scottsdale to the United Kingdom as one of the first organizers of this wonderful art. Working with her led me to training and taking 8 x 5 day seminars to become a Jin Shin Jyutsu® Practitioner. I have experienced first hand how Jin Shin Jyutsu was able to free up my energy (meridian) lines and open me up to my body, my grief at the loss of my dear mother and to my capacity to self heal.

As a personal testament, I have moved through my own illness of Lupus, and have now been in remission for many years. It gives me great joy and strength when I can share my knowledge, understanding and skills to my clients, to aid them on their own journeys to recovery or acceptance - to be ourselves, to know ourselves and to help ourselves. My professional practice has gone from strength to strength along with my great passion for Jin Shin Jyutsu (a gentle acupressure/safety energy locks work) and EFT (emotional freedom technique - Tapping on the meridian/energy lines) I also work with the wonderful reflexology and aromatherapy massage techniques and I am a Reiki Master/teacher.

I specialize in energy therapies working in a person centered way along the body's meridian lines, or safety energy locations - clearing any blockages caused by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, work pressures, pain in the body, past histories, belief systems and confidence. I look forward to being part of the JSI family and working with anyone who would like to explore this wonderful Art.
