Janine Cheung
Healthy Happy Horse, Certified Practitioner

Janine Cheung is both a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu® practitioner, and a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu® Self-Help Instructor. Janine's journey with Jin Shin Jyutsu began in January 1999, when she received her first treatment to hasten her recovery from a back injury due to a horseback riding fall.

Also at that time Janine was under the ongoing care of an Environmental Doctor and was being treated for severe multiple food, and environmental allergies that had been a problem since 1983. She also suffered from worsening fibromyalgia, a legacy of a year-long bout with stress-induced, chronic fatigue syndrome that she had experienced in 1992. Within a month of practicing Jin Shin Jyutsu self help, and receiving weekly treatments from a practitioner, Janine's fibromyalgia was resolved. Within four months, she was able to stop administering her bi-weekly allergy shots, and has not needed to take one antihistamine in the past five years.

After experiencing the profound healing power of Jin Shin Jyutsu first-hand, Janine was resolved to enter into a lifelong study of Jin Shin Jyutsu, and to become a practitioner and self-help instructor in order to share this wonderful healing art with people, their horses, and their companion animals.

In April 2003, Janine was certified by Dr. Eric Pearl as a Reconnective Healing™ practitioner, and is also certified to perform The Reconnection™. She has also successfully completed various animal related courses including: Functional Equine Anatomy - through the Guelph Equine Science Certificate program, and Acupressure for Companion Animals, with Amy Snow of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure, and a course in Healing Touch for Animals.

If at anytime an extra pair of trained hands are needed to treat an animal more effectively, forinstance in cases where it would be beneficial for a horse to receive two treatments simultaneously in order to make greater progress in shorter time, Janine calls upon her partner from Healthy Balanced Body, Gordon Pfeffer, to assist her.

In his search to uncover truly effective healing modalities which offer lasting positive changes, Gord has been trained in a number of different traditional eastern disciplines and mind-body healing modalities. He is a certified practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu®, is a Usui Reiki Master-Teacher, a certified Reconnective Healing™ practitioner and a certified Whole Person Fertility Specialist. Additionally, he is also a licensed Master of Social Work practitioner and a practicing individual and couple psychotherapist, with many years of clinical experience.
