Liz Stockdill Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara since 2001

I had a melanoma recurrence in 2014 and along with a clinical trial that I participated in, I did other supportive, alternative healing work: I started seeing Liz  Stockdill at Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara once a week.  In addition to working with me, she has taught me specific self-help that I’ve used regularly.  I highly recommend it.  Along with other things, it has helped me to be more aware of subtle information before it gets to the point of pain and illness.  It has helped with sleep, anxiety, digestive issues, fatigue, self-healing and boundary setting.
Blessings and Health.

My experience visiting Liz for Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara is always enlightening. Most all the visits I have made to see Liz have stemmed from some minutia in my life that much like the proverbial pebble in the shoe, develops into a painful rock under foot.

Liz’s calm, sincere demeanor always renders me comfortable, and able to excavate the ruble in my mind, stripping down the elements of challenges within my life at the time. The bodywork Liz performs is not some sort of dynamic exercise or endeavor, rather a very static, yet powerful, and precise laying on of the hands. Her intuition is her guide, your audible reconciliation of the mental block, or obstacle in your life plots her direction. Often times Liz will riff back and forth with you revealing the enormous rock under foot is simply a pebble in the scope of the big picture. In the midst of what usually is an intense moment of clarity you will feel completely relaxed, even exhausted. Sleep can sometimes be inevitable.

The beauty of a session with Liz is that no matter the outcome of the visit, I always enjoy the notion of internal peace and clarity. More often than not, my state of mind seems to improve upon itself, and propagates action to chisel, or even crush away the pebble.

I have experienced that Jin Shin Jyutsu is all about the practitioner. It’s a combination of unique characteristics and the art of administering which causes the difference in the treatment. Liz and Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara is the complete package, holds that special touch of energy to this ancient healing and energy therapy.

I started seeing Liz over a year ago because of a chronic medical issue. Little did I know that I was embarking on a journey of a lifetime! Yes, my health problems have improved but, in the process, my life is being transformed. It’s hard to describe how Jin Shin Jyutsu does that. But what I can tell you is that my body, mind and spirit have opened up allowing all sorts of blessings to come in. I’ve always believed that a Higher Power was directing my life. For me, Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara has been like leaning in to that. Trusting that on a cellular level. I’ve rediscovered a sense of my Self and have started to remember what is really important. I have tapped into a greater sense of ease and joy in a way that I hadn’t been able to (or forgot about) since I was a carefree child. I am, at 64 years of age, seeing the world through new eyes and it is showing up in every corner of my life. I am so grateful. Having Liz Stockdill as my mentor/healer/teacher has been an absolute gift. She is a no-nonsense gal with laser-like compassion. Her ability to tune-in is nothing short of miraculous. She is an experienced Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner and, under her tender loving care, the problems I’ve been challenged with seem to be clearing up just in the process of life itself. Thanks, Liz. I am finally beginning to sing my own song!!

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an amazing body and mind treatment that I have used for years that is good for specific body help but also treats your whole body and psyche. If you have too much energy (anxious, angry, worried) it harmonizes you to a balanced state. If you have too little energy (sick, depressed, depleted) it brings you back up. It’s an almost mysterious one of a kind experience like a soft dream for your body and mind. Liz Stockdill at Jin Shin Jyutsu Santa Barbara is  one of those gifted healers who knows how get to the point of your concerns right away. Her touch will stay with you long after your session. I have taken Jin Shin treatments all over the country and she is one of the best. I suggest weekly treatments because the effect can be cumulative and long lasting.

I love Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara because it helps me feel strong and capable. It makes me decisive in decision making because of the overall well being it provides me with. I love Liz because she is the by far the best JSJ practitioner I have been to.

I have been seeing Liz for nearly 10 years now and continued seeing her during my visits to Santa Barbara after moving to New York. My visits to Liz’s Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara always produce a very peaceful sense of well being and balance. I usually see her with the intention of establishing relaxation and reducing stress but I have focused on targeted areas of my physical health as well. The experience itself is nearly euphoric and completely restful like a perfect nap. The benefits tend to last for a while but I always look forward to my next trip to Santa Barbara and my appointment with Liz!

Working with Liz at Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara never feels like work. She has a real gift of listening to and understanding what her clients present. She is a skillful and compassionate practitioner in the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu. As a long-time client of Liz’s, I’ve come to understand the power of non-invasive energy healing which provided a path for self-exploration and ongoing self-development. Because of Liz, my life is happier and healthier.

What a contrast to go from seeing my doctor who prescribes ‘midrin’ for this tension headache, to seeing Liz at Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara, where the next day I am walking with the headache 85% reduced. Can you do a 5:30p session on any day next week? I’m think going to go ahead and throw away the prescription now. Thanks!

She is always professional, accommodating and so helpful. I highly recommend her!!!!!

I had the opportunity to have some healing sessions with Liz when I visited Jin Shin Jyutsu in Santa Barbara in 2007. She has a gift that helps bring a sense of understanding to one’s “projects.” I continue to call Liz for guidance on how to approach finding solutions to situations that sometimes seem to have no resolution. But her kindness and intuition, combined with her knowledge of the”Art of JSJ”always provides clear solutions. I highly recommend Liz to anyone who wants to raise the bar and live their life to the fullest.
