I am an 86 year old male, schooled in medical forensics as a former Investigator.

I suffer from a condition known as Stenosis. Briefly a condition involving the L4-L5 vertebrae with etiology caused from injury or other conditions resulting in Osteoarthritis. This causes the spinal canal to compress on the vessels housed in the canal, mainly the Sciatic Nerve. The result is pain flowing to the back, hip, leg and foot, also causing weakness in the limb. It is very painful.

I am currently under treatment by a Certified Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner by the name of Debbie Waxman, on staff at Innovative Primary Care. This is an ancient healing art done through the power of touch. One wears clothes during the session. There is no use of medicine, drugs or substances. It helps to controll nerve flows, ridding the body of toxins and waste.

My results have been awesome! After each session I am pain free and flexible in my limbs, free from stress.

I have witnessed many persons in the waiting room and leaving their session stating: “She’s so great; look, no pain and I feel good…”

I am a 53 year old female with the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus, Hypertension, Arthritis and most recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have lived in pain for many years and had begun to believe that it simply would always be a part of my life. I have tried over the past year to control the pain and fatigue with exercise and medication. Although the exercise has helped to strengthen my muscles and the medication has helped with sleep, I continued to suffer daily with muscle pain, fatigue & depression. It was becoming a vicious circle: pain, fatigue & depression.

It was then that I learned of something called Jin Shin Jyutsu and decided to give it a try. I was skeptical and it seemed like just too easy of a solution. After the first session I noticed a decrease in pain - the very next day. I continued with more sessions and soon the pain was gone. Since then I can honestly testify to being pain free. I am feeling better, less fatigued and depression is not in my vocabulary anymore. Co-workers, family and friends have noticed a change in my appearance as well as my attitude and energy level.

Jin Shin Jyutsu has been a blessing in my life empowering me to be in control again, not the disease."

My name is Pamela Smith. I am 32 years old and have been going through chemo treatments for the last two years. I have Sweet's Syndrome, which is linked to Chronic Monocytic Leukemia, Vasculitis, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. I have been receiving Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments from Debbie Waxman for almost two years now. When I received Jin Shin Jyutsu before my chemo treatments, it has lessened my nausea from the chemo. I also have had constipation and have had successful results shortly after a session. I feel better and am able to be more active after receiving sessions from Debbie.

I am very grateful to her for her treatment sessions. I will continue to receive these sessions from her for the rest of my life.

I met Debbie Waxman when she was helping my chihuahua Micro, seen here with her sister Smidgen. Micro and Smidgen were both born with heart defects and both required open heart surgery. When we met Debbie, Smidgen had already passed on and Micro, who had suffered from many illnesses throughout her life, was dying. I wanted to make this as comfortable for her as I could. We saw Debbie once a week for about eight months. Each time I took Micro to see Debbie, I also took Micro to her veterinarian both on the way to Debbie’s and on the way home. On each occasion, Dr. Anderson noted the change in her heart rate and overall appearance. Micro looked forward to her treatments and was much more willing to eat after her visits.Her passing, although heartbreaking, was easy, and in my arms she truly went to sleep and was not put to sleep.

I thank Debbie and Jin Shin Jyutsu for this extra time and quality of her life.

I enjoy walking for exercise however for a number of years I have been experiencing an acute pain between my shoulders while walking. I have seen many doctors in hopes to find the cause and some relief from this pain with no success.

Since going to see Debbie for individual treatment sessions and practicing the Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help techniques suggested to me I have been able to walk again without pain. What a great relief it is!!

I am a 56 year old school teacher who has suffered with migraine headaches since a small child. As I have gotten older they became more frequent and more debilitating. Some would last as long as three days. For about six years I had given myself shots to relieve them. I realized that the shots were causing some heart damage, so I no longer took them. I was guided by a colleague to Jin Shin Jyutsu as a possible way of learning to relieve my headaches.

It was in the spring of 2001 that I started going to visit Debbie Waxman, a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner. With each private treatment session she would teach me self-help techniques and energy flows. Several times I visited her during a severe migraine. After each visit my headache would lessen and was completely gone within the next two hours. Finally I found someone who could help relieve my migraines.

I have now been going for almost a year and have discovered which energy flows work for me. I do the Main Central energy flow every morning and night. I hold my fingers quite often during the day, a simple but very powerful self-help technique. By using the energy flows that I have learned on a regular basis, I have been able to keep from getting migraine headaches.

Jin Shin Jyutsu has given me a whole new life!

In October of 2002, my son Corey was in an auto accident, which left him with a severe traumatic brain injury. The first night he was in the hospital, they told us we would have to make the decision to unplug him in the next two days. While in intensive care, Debbie Waxman came to the hospital and did Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments on Corey. Among the first things that she worked on were flows that controlled his racing heartbeat, his body temperature, and his erratic breathing. Debbie told us that it would take up to 8 hours before we’d see improvement. However, before she left the room, the nurses could see improvement on their screens.

While Corey was in a coma, Debbie told us simple things we could do everyday to help him. We followed her advice and in 19 days Corey opened one eye. He would slip back into the coma right away, but at least we knew he was going to make it. After six weeks of intensive care, he was moved to the next level down for 10 weeks. Finally, he was moved to neuro rehab for 7 weeks.  Throughout this period of time, Debbie came to the hospital when she could and continued to advise us over the phone when she couldn’t come. Corey continued to make progress, was weaned from the ventilator, eventually the traicheostomy was plugged and he was getting movement in his left limbs. 

After we brought Corey home, medical and neuro problems continued to arise. One time, Corey was on the verge of pneumonia and we called Debbie at night. She told us what to do. His breathing regulated and he never actually got pneumonia. He traicheostomy was surgically closed in Feb. 2004. He had other surgeries and Debbie would treat him before and after, and he did well. Debbie continues to treat Corey and this has been helpful in such problems as neuro spasms, eye and mouth infections, abdominal abscess, slowed digestion, constipation, urinary problems, alertness, and sense of well being.

There is no doubt in my mind that Corey would not be where he is today if it hadn’t been for Debbie’s help and compassion.

Additionally, Corey’s physical, occupational, and speech therapists have, over the course of the last 2 years, made remarks such as, “Did Corey have Jin Shin this week,” and “When is Corey’s next Jin Shin appointment” because they can always tell when he starts improving that he’s had Jin Shin in the last few days. The rehab specialist said, “Make sure you keep that Jin Shin going.”

Since I, myself, have been going to Debbie, my arthritis pain and chronic headaches have been reduced by 80%.

Jin Shin Jyutsu has helped me with my second pregnancy. I began Jin Shin Jyutsu therapy with Debbie Waxman in my seventh month of pregnancy. I was having a lot of pressure in my pelvic region and very poor circulation. As I began seeing Debbie weekly, I had some immediate relief from the sessions.  During the sessions she also taught me some self-help strategies. The thing that has impressed me the most, about this therapy that was new to me, was the gradual relief over the weeks. It was incredible. Instead of increased pressure and circulation problems getting worse towards the end of my pregnancy, these pregnancy-related symptoms got better! An added benefit to me was that I didn’t have water-retention or swelling in my feet and ankles. This is very different from my last pregnancy, in which I had to buy new shoes and wear a wedding ring that was two sizes larger than my normal size.

Jin Shin Jyutsu has made a big difference in my energy and general well being with this pregnancy. The labor and delivery of my baby also went much better. I had a smooth, uncomplicated, and short labor and delivery. After I had the baby, the nurse told me my blood pressure and other vitals were looking very good and she commented that I must work out regularly. I told her that I wish that were true, but I do not have time for working out very often.

I attribute my well being to the therapy I received from Debbie. I have been amazed with the benefits of Jin Shin Jyutsu therapy and how well I felt. I recommend it to all of my pregnant friends.

Judy & I both see Debbie on a regular schedule. Judy was suffering from general fatigue, leg cramps, muscle soreness and weakness, and sleeping problems. and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia early in 2008. Her doctor recommended a course of treatment that included Jin Shin Jyutsu. She began the Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments with Debbie Waxman in March and almost immediately saw improvement in her life. Since then, her problems have improved dramatically or completely disappeared. She takes no medicine or other treatment for the fibromyalgia.

I suffer from a desire to remain young in an aging body. I work hard at staying in good physical shape and these efforts have led to knee and shoulder problems. I’ve had a bad back since high school. I don’t always sleep well, some of that caused by the stress of the work world.

Judy recommended that I try the Jin Shin Jyutsu. I know my body pretty well and I have practiced alternative preventive methods for the past 20 years, relying heavily on exercise, the breathing exercises of Dr. Andrew Weil, herbs and vitamins, and some limited meditation. I was open to the benefits that might be provided by Jin Shin Jyutsu.

I began treatments with Debbie in June, 2008. My knee and shoulder problems improved somewhat with these treatments. I subsequently had arthroscropy on the knee (torn meniscus). I had treatments prior to and immediately after surgery and performed flows, as instructed by Debbie, at home daily. I put the crutches away after 3 days, have had virtually no pain, finished therapy in two weeks, and was back in the gym at the end of that two weeks. I believe the Jin Shin Jyutsu, along with my physical condition and positive mental state, was a major factor in my quick recovery.

My back problems have almost disappeared. My sleeping has improved somewhat, although a busy mind still interrupts a good night’s sleep occasionally. I practice some of the Jin Shin Jyutsu exercises on my own, as instructed by Debbie, and find them to be helpful in times of stress. I do the main central flow almost nightly.

The thing that is amazing is Debbie’s ability to tell me what’s ailing me when I go into her office. By holding my forearms, reading my pulse, she can sense what treatment I need on any particular day, without me saying a word. She can sense when my shoulder or knee hurts more than usual and can sense when I am overly stressed, She will tell me when my neck and shoulders are tight from stress and she’s always right. Debbie is extremely talented, she is very skilled in the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, but I call it magic.

Both Judy & I feel our health, mentally and physically, has greatly improved from Debbie’s treatments and believe others who can’t seem to find relief from their ailments would benefit greatly from these treatments. It takes an open mind to accept the possibility of what Jin Shin Jyutsu, applied by a professional, might do for you. We highly recommend Debbie Waxman if you are considering pursuing this treatment.
