Shiatsu Therapy
Let Her Fingers Contribute Towards Your Healing
Shiatsu (指圧) is a form of Japanese bodywork that applies thumb pressure on points throughout the body. Through manipulation of these points along connected pathways, called meridians, blockages are relieved and vital energy, known as “chi”, is released. This energy can positively facilitate healing, encourages lymphatic drainage, and eases muscular pain, often experience with rheumatoid arthritis.
Jo Ann holds a massage license in New Mexico. She learned Shiatsu massage at the Aisen Chiro Doin Inc. in Honolulu, Hawaii, a center that has been providing over 40 years of licensed therapy education. In conjunction with yoga, shiatsu massage complements the all-body healing process. During your first one-on-one Shiatsu massage, Jo Ann will advise you on the most optimal healing regiment that will include Iyengar yoga routines as well.
“I am 62 years and for 10 years I suffered from a Candida-like fungal infection that affected my digestion, leg muscles, and my mind. Diet and treatments with needles and massage helped, but still, I was weak. I spent my whole life enjoying the outdoors, but I could barely hike half
a mile because of this disease.
After my first yoga class, I was hooked and replaced all my treatments with a regular yoga schedule and bi-monthly Shiatsu sessions. In the last 3 years, Jo Ann helped me build strength and balance in a safe and effective way.
Now I deploy on search and rescue missions with my dog, often walking for a number of miles at high elevations with steep terrain. I would not be able to do this without the instruction, encouragement, and support from her.”

Nirvana Room
Cloud Room
When you plan coming to Santa Fe, consider staying with me at my house! My house at the Grandpas Ranch Lane in Santa Fe has three separate rooms that I am offering to visitors through Airbnb only. The house is located off the Santa Fe River biking trail, and just a 5-minutes drive to Meow Wolf.
Right now I am renting each room to one person, but one can add an additional guest for an additional fee. The maximum number of guests who can reside in the house is six (that is, two to each room I am renting).
This Nirvana Room is the largest, has a queen-size bed, and sofa with an ottoman. It has its own master bathroom and spacious antique desk alongside a window facing the garden. The Cloud and Aspen rooms are very comfortable and share a common bathroom.
All residents can share the common area, which includes the lounge, adjacent powder room, kitchen, dining room, and spacious garden and patio. They are also designated as laptop-friendly spaces, so you are welcome to visit and work.
The house offers a multi-car parking area, WIFI, and the absence of a TV allow for a relaxing or comfortable work atmosphere. Access to a private indoor gym, a fully equipped bike shop, and yoga classes offered by the host.
