Jo Fay offers a seasonal program of intimate workshops and online events exploring Shamanic Five Elements Acupressure, nature art, self-healing practices and energetic wellbeing.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Online Healing Sessions are a fusion of Five Elements Acupressure, shamanic and distance healing techniques. It starts with a conversation online, about what you're carrying — physically, emotionally, whatever is present. You will learn the self help acupressure points for you. It ends with a distance healing and audio recording. You will experience energy clearing, soul retrieval and guidance on self-care practices.
Sessions run for sixty minutes, $150.
For Hands-on-Healing; you arrive, we talk briefly. Jo Fay takes your pulse to understand the root of what needs attention.
Then you lie down. For forty minutes, hands on healing works with your body's energy pathways — clearing what is blocked, restoring what has been depleted. Most clients notice a shift they can feel but can't quite name. Something settles. Something lifts.
Before you leave, we talk again. About what you arose for you, what you can do at home and to tend to next.
Sessions run for fifty minutes, $120.
"Jo spent time talking with me about my issues before starting the treatment. I soon felt comfortable and peaceful. She was very gentle and spoke quietly about each pressure point. It was so nice to have that constant touch and communication. I felt calmer and changed afterwards — I couldn't put my finger on it, but something had shifted and put me in a much better place in mind and body".
— Pat

Q & A
Explaining Acupressure, shamanic healing and key benefits:
Acupressure is an ancient healing practice rooted in Eastern medicine. It works with the body's network of energy pathways — called meridians — using gentle, intentional touch rather than needles. By applying pressure to specific points along these pathways, acupressure releases blocked energy, restores natural flow and supports the body's own capacity to heal. Five Elements Acupressure works specifically with five elemental energies — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — each governing different organs, emotions and aspects of wellbeing. When these elements are in balance, you feel it. When they're not, you feel that too.
Shamanism is one of the oldest healing traditions on earth, found across every indigenous culture worldwide. A shamanic practitioner works as a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds — journeying into non-ordinary reality to retrieve what has been lost, clear what no longer serves, and restore the soul to wholeness. Shamanic healing addresses the spiritual root of what ails us — the part that conventional medicine doesn't reach. It is particularly powerful for those navigating grief, loss, life transition, or the sense that something essential has gone missing.
We begin with a real conversation — about what you're carrying, what needs attention, what your body and soul are asking for. Jo Fay then guides you through a series of self-help acupressure points tailored specifically to what arose in your conversation — simple techniques you can use yourself between sessions.
Following your time together, Jo Fay completes a distance healing on your behalf — working with your energetic field remotely to clear blocks, retrieve what has been lost, and restore balance. This may involve soul retrieval, connection with spirit guides and divination.
Each session includes an audio recording to revisit whenever you need it. Many clients are surprised by how much they feel — both during and after.
Soul retrieval is a core shamanic healing practice. In the shamanic worldview, traumatic experiences — loss, shock, abuse, profound grief — can cause parts of our essential self to fragment and become lost. This is often experienced as numbness, disconnection, the feeling of not quite being fully present in your own life, or a persistent sense that something is missing. Soul retrieval is the process of locating and returning these lost parts — restoring wholeness, vitality and a sense of coming home to yourself.
Shamanic Five Elements Acupressure works on a completely different level to remedial or relaxation massage. Rather than working primarily with muscles and physical tissue, it works with the body's energetic system — the meridians, the elements, the soul. The touch is gentle. The effects are often profound. Clients frequently describe shifts that are emotional and spiritual as much as physical — a quality of rest that goes deeper than tired, a sense that something has moved that had been stuck for a long time. It is not the right modality for acute physical injuries or musculoskeletal conditions — but for women navigating depletion, menopause, grief and life transition, it can be genuinely transformational.
This is the question most people want to ask but don't. The honest answer is — yes, consistently and sometimes remarkably so. Energy is not bound by physical distance. Shamanic practitioners have worked across distance for thousands of years. Many of Jo Fay's online clients report feeling the healing during the session itself — sensations of warmth, release, deep calm, more themselves — without being in the same room. The audio recording means you can return to the session whenever you need grounding or support.
