The Jin Shin Do® neck release workshop held on Monday, September 20, 2010 turned out to be a wonderful learning experience for all!  The space used was very warm and quite lovely and happened to be that of fellow Shiatsu Practitioner, Ben Bartlein, of Eastern Shore.  There were 15 participants ranging from students to full-time practitioners.  We even had one student fill out the paperwork to become an AOBTA® member. 

Deborah Valentine Smith has a wonderful way of incorporating real-life experiences into her teaching,
