Massage and Jin Shin Jyutsu® in State College, PA. by Sandy Erwin

About Me

My Practice

I began my Massage Training in 1995 at the Mt. Nittany Institute of Natural Health. I have training in numerous modalities such as, Swedish, Polarity, Neuromuscular, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Connective Tissue, Sports Massage, Reiki, and Infant Massage Instruction.

I have a holistic approach to massage and focus on the entire body and its senses. I have a warm, energetic, and playful personality which comes through in my work, aiding in the relaxation aspects and overall effectiveness of the process.  My massage tends to be thorough and flowing, utilizing a variety of techniques to relax and encourage the body's own healing.  

In 1997 I was introduced to Jin Shin Jyutsu®, by a client who had relocated to State College from California.  Jin Shin Jyutsu immediatley resonnated with me and I began my studies into this Art. For a number of years I was the sole Jin Shin Jyutsu® practitioner in State College, fortunately the number of practitioners in the area has grown since I began organizing seminars.  I also have a bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Penn State University.

My Practice Specializes in Jin Shin Jyutsu®, Relaxation Massage, and On-Site Chair Massage to Businesses.

My Philosophy

My goal is to empower, encourage and facilitate my clients to participate in attaining and maintaining health, harmony and well-being.
