Ageless Beauty at Your Fingertips
In the early 1990s, many of my Los Angeles clients in their 40s began asking for natural ways to slow the aging process. Their requests sparked what became a 19-year journey of study, experimentation, and refinement. Drawing on the foundations of Jin Shin Jyutsu®, whole-foods nutrition, and traditional natural healing, I developed a method that focuses on a holistic approach to ageless beauty.
That exploration led to my self-care workbook Ageless Beauty from the Inside Out and ultimately to my signature approach: Natural Facial Rejuvenation, a gentle, non-invasive method that helps restore health, vitality, and radiance from the inside out.
This approach includes both a simple, highly effective self-care component, I call Ageless Beauty At Your Fingertips, that can be easily learned virtually and a relaxing, hands-on in-person experience for those who wish to feel the restorative power of therapeutic touch and deeper energetic balance.
What Is Natural Facial Rejuvenation?
Natural Facial Rejuvenation is a gentle, non-invasive method designed to restore vitality, radiance, and balance to the skin. It draws upon holistic nutrition, the Japanese wellness art of Jin Shin Jyutsu®, and the wisdom of traditional Asian medicine to support circulation, encourage collagen renewal, ease stress, and promote ageless beauty from the inside out.
Whether learned virtually or experienced in person, this method helps awaken the body’s innate intelligence to rejuvenate and renew itself naturally.
Because the quality of the skin reflects the harmony of the whole body-mind, true radiance can only come from within. Stress, worry, and fatigue disrupt hormonal balance and raise cortisol levels which contribute to collagen loss and greatly accelerates the aging process. By harmonizing energy flow and calming the nervous system, Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-care helps lower stress levels, rebalance hormones, and create the inner calm that shows up as outer glow.
What Is Jin Shin Jyutsu®?
Jin Shin Jyutsu® is an ancient Japanese healing art rooted in similar principles as acupuncture and other energy-based systems. It works by harmonizing the flow of energy which is sometimes called “life force” through specific pathways in the body.
When energy flows freely, we feel calm, radiant, and balanced; when it’s blocked, we may experience pain, fatigue, or emotional distress.
These pathways mapped thousands of years ago supply vital energy to every cell, muscle, bone, and organ. By using our own hands as “jumper cables,” we can gently restore flow and support the body’s natural healing ability.
This is truly ageless beauty at your fingertips.
Jin Shin Jyutsu® Natural Self-Care for Ageless Beauty
“Ageless Beauty At Your Fingertips”
The Finger Holds – The Foundation of Inner and Outer Radiance
One of the simplest and most effective ways to practice Jin Shin Jyutsu® self care is by gently holding your fingers individually.
Each finger corresponds to specific emotions, organ flows, and physical functions. Holding a finger for a few quiet minutes can harmonize over 14,000 bodily functions, helping to release tension and bring balance to the body and mind.
This daily foundational practice done in conjunction with the Main Central Vertical Flow restores the smooth flow of energy, reduces stress, helps calm the nervous system and naturally lowers cortisol levels. As cortisol levels balance, the skin’s ability to produce collagen improves, circulation increases, and the complexion becomes more vibrant and alive.
You can do these foundational routines anywhere, on awakening while still in bed, while resting, watching tv, listening to music or winding down before bed. This gentle, mindful practice can be either calming or energizing, depending on what your body needs in the moment.
Over the years, I have seen the greatest success when clients begin their Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-care by first learning the simple foundational practices which include the Finger Holds, the Main Central Vertical quick flow, and the Fountain of Youth Fingerhold, making them a daily habit for the first three to four weeks. Once these become familiar and natural, I introduce a few other foundational flows adding targeted flow combinations and additional fingerholds tailored to their individual needs and wellness goals. This gradual, layered approach builds confidence, consistency, and lasting results.

PALM CENTER – Calming the Whole Being
Placing the fingers of one hand over the opposite palm brings deep relaxation and overall harmony. This simple gesture can quickly center the nervous system and reconnect you to your Source of Life.
How to Practice
1) Sit or lie quietly and bring your attention to your breath.
2) Gently hold one finger at a time with your opposite hand.
3) Stay with each hold for a few minutes or until you feel warmth or a sense of release. Continue to hold until you feel either a rhythmic pulsation or a sense of deep relaxation. If you haven’t yet developed the sensitivity to feel energy flow through your hands, you can simply take 1–3 full breaths per hold, or just hold each finger for as long as it feels good.
4) Breathe naturally and notice how your body and mind respond.
Holding the fingers even a few minutes a day can reduce stress, quiet the mind, and awaken your natural radiance, no tools or special training required.
Main Central Vertical Flow -The Core of Energy and Beauty
Quick Version
This foundational flow is a form of “daily energy hygiene”, like brushing your energetic teeth. It realigns you with your Source of Life and supports every function in the body. Practicing morning and evening maintains balance, vitality, and harmony.
Because this flow harmonizes the central nervous system, it is also one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and regulate cortisol, which in turn supports healthy collagen production and skin renewal.
Step 1:
Place your right fingertips or hand on the top center of your head and place your left fingertips between your eyebrows. In some spiritual traditions the location between your eyebrows is referred to as the Third Eye, which opens intuition.
Hold until you feel either a rhythmic pulsation or a sense of deep relaxation.
If you haven’t yet developed the sensitivity to feel energy flow through your hands, you can simply take 1–3 full breaths per hold, or just hold each step for as long as it feels good.
Tip: Some people enjoy doing this flow while lying down or supported by pillows, especially under the right arm for comfort.
Step 2:
Keep your right hand on the top of your head and move your left hand to your pubic bone.
Breathe naturally and hold until you feel the energy pulse or sense of ease.
Step 3:
Keep your left hand on your pubic bone and move your right hand to your tailbone.
Hold until you feel either a rhythmic pulsation or a sense of deep relaxation.
Practicing the Main Central Vertical Flow morning and night nourishes every organ, balances hormones, quiets the mind, and sets the foundation for true ageless beauty.
I consider the MCV a vital cornerstone for energy maintenance. It centers and energizes me in the morning, then helps me unwind and release the remnants of the day at night. This simple yet profound flow supports the body’s natural rhythms and keeps the inner current of life flowing freely.
Once you’ve become comfortable with the foundational Finger Holds and the Main Central Flow, you’re ready to explore the deeply restorative Fountain of Youth Fingerhold. This additional fingerhold is a nurturing practice that expands the benefits even further, awakening vitality, self-love, and emotional harmony from the inside out.
The Fountain Of Youth Fingerhold
This special fingerhold was shared with me by my beloved mentor and friend, Lynne Pfluegger, a master Jin Shin Jyutsu® teacher, in the mid-2000s when I was going through menopause. It is one of the self-help variations of the 13 Flow used in hands-on Jin Shin Jyutsu® treatments and has become one of my clients’ favorites because it’s so simple, soothing, effective and easy to do anywhere, anytime.
This powerful hold not only helps cultivate ageless beauty and deep cellular regeneration, but also harmonizes the hormonal and gastrointestinal systems and supports the immune system.
Also known as “The Self-Love and Empowerment Flow,” it helps dissolve the energetic patterns of grief, loss, and emotional trauma, bringing in self-acceptance and renewed vitality. It also promotes harmony in relationships, opening the heart and helping us see life from another’s point of view with greater compassion and understanding.
How to Practice
Step 1: Sit or lie quietly and bring your attention to your breath.
Step 2: Gently hold the middle finger of either hand by wrapping the fingers of your opposite hand around it. Place the thumb of the opposite hand in the center of the palm of the hand you’re holding.
Step 3: Stay with this fingerhold for a few minutes, or until you feel warmth, pulsing, or a deep sense of relaxation. If you haven’t yet developed sensitivity to the subtle energy flow, simply take 1–3 full breaths per hold, or remain for as long as it feels comfortable and nurturing.
Step 4: Breathe naturally and notice how your body and mind respond. A feeling of calm, release, or renewed lightness often follows.
