- Rehabilitation sessions led by Sunflower Wellness Exercise Counselors that are geared towards increasing motivation, promoting behavior and healthy lifestyle change.

Introductory Group Seminar
Jin Shin Jyutsu facilitates the body’s profound healing capacity by balancing energy.

While similar to acupuncture and acupressure, Jin Shin Jyutsu does not use needles, pressure, or rubbing.
