All inspiration from start to finish. I was given advance warning that I’d be well and truly “Jinged” and ain’t that the truth! Wow. Life changing, transitioning, stimulating, overwhelmingly wonderful, expansive and fundamentally the best training ever.

Vanessa Franklin

Loved every minute! I really enjoyed the way the theory material was taught and how interactive it was not just reading from a textbook. The practical side was amazing – the teaching, all the feedback, support and guidance. It was great to be able to give and receive so we knew how the moves felt. All the tai chi, meditation, dancing… it all fit in beautifully and really helpful to bond our group.

Learning at the Jing Institute is life-altering. I learned so much more than how to massage, I have reconnected with my heart and soul. Jing is a fantastic space to learn and grow as a therapist and as a human. Thank you, Meghan and Rachel for your vision and presence.
