10-days JIN SHIN JYUTSU HEALING INTENSIVE
10-days JIN SHIN JYUTSU HEALING INTENSIVE
|
Jin Shin Jyutsu Physio-Philosophy can be described as a time-honored Japanese healing art of harmonizing the body's life energy using gentle touch and breathing exercises. The touch addresses particular circulation pathways in a consistent, sequential pattern. It helps to harmonize and balance the vital energy of the whole person, mind-body-spirit, thereby rallying the body’s own healing mechanisms. It is fair to describe this bodywork as a highly developed form of acupressure therapy; an acupressure style treatment that does not rely on physical pressure to achieve energetic harmony.
If you are looking for deep and profound support on your journey towards wellness, inner harmony and self knowing, you may choose to embark on a 10 session Jin Shin Jyutsu healing intensive. This work is an opportunity to move through layers of release, allowing for personal growth and transformation of the past into the Harmony of Now Know Thy-Self. Jin Shin Jyutsu, eastern acupressure, is an excellent way to powerfully move forward with one's healing process and to establish a clear focus for the path of wellness ahead.
This 10-session Jin Shin Jyutsu healing package offers 10 consecutive sessions, 90 - 120 minutes, a minimum of 8 hours apart. At least 75 minutes is spent in hands-on treatment and 15-30 minutes is integration and self-care support. Usually, offered over 10 days with a scheduled 11th day of rest and integration for each individual who embarks on this life-affirming journey inward.

Massage Therapy Studio
You are encouraged to hydrate, rest, and eat nourishing foods always. Journal work and meditation are also recommended as this is deeply personal, vulnerable, and empowering work. You need to be mentally and emotionally prepared to continue to explore Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care practices in the weeks and months following our time together.
|
Our Jin Shin Jyutsu session begins with body and pulse reading, offering an opportunity to effectively establish your unique treatment plan. Your harmonizing/healing experience unfolds with an ancient, client-specific, release flow pattern. This 75 - 90 minutes of acupressure will assist with the overall harmonizing of the body, mind and spirit.
Lomi Lomi
Erin also offers, a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi inspired, nourishing oiled massage. This is an integrated massage experience, grounded in sacred elemental teachings. We invite the deepening of one’s connection with body, mind and spirit through this healing art form. The style consists of long flowing movements that combine the use of both hands and forearms. Your system will be soothed by connecting to the breath and deepening overall relaxation. There is a feeling of fluidity in this approach to healing that both embraces the rhythm of the ocean and the flow of a gentle dance. Every treatment includes a minimum of 20 minutes of acupressure to complete the session.

Massage by Erin provided a healing experience that left us feeling relaxed and restored. Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience.
Erica O, Ocean Spray, Sep '23I also had the distinct pleasure of receiving a massage from Erin. It was such a restorative and unique experience; I highly recommend booking one if you have the chance!
Megan W, Eagle View, Aug '23I really enjoyed the massage. Different from anything I've had before. I was perhaps a littlle skeptical before and a believer after. She puts a lot into it.
David C, Sunrise, Aug '23 -
I wanted to give special mention to Erin O’Brien, the masterful Jin Shin Jyutsu and Lomi-Lomi practitioner. She lives her medicine, and is in deep connection and reciprocity to the spirit of the land. Her session connected me in a deeper way to the wind, the water that has stayed with me... She gave cues for breath work and guided visualization throughout the session making it a more collaborative experience and a download of deep wisdom... She went above and beyond and gave practices as suggested homework as well. She’s the real deal!
Ingrid P (Licensed Acupuncturist, Masters in Oriental Medicine), Eagle View, Aug '23 -
The body work was divinely inspired.
Carolyn G, Eagle View, Aug '24I had a massage with Erin. It was honestly the best massage I have ever had.
Leslie R, Spa Retreat Package, June '24I received two Jin Shin Jyutsu acupressure massages from Erin during my stay that words can’t describe how amazing the process of letting go can be….

"Coming-Off" a Cleansing Detox | Post Retreat Strategy
The day after the cleanse, eat primarily raw or lightly steamed vegetables, fruit, or nuts. Portion sizes should be small, and the diet should be very similar to what you did to prepare for the cleanse — organic or Non-non GMO, no sugar, coffee, wheat, gluten-containing foods, processed foods, and mass produced dairy.
The next day, include more plant foods, such as beans and basmati rice in your diet. Continue adding back foods you’d like to have in your regular diet. Third day after the fast, resume eating regular meals. If you eat meat, add it to Lunch only (avoid all red meet if possible).
|
Identify Your Allergies
You can use the days after a cleanse to identify your reactions to foods. To do this, keep a journal and reintroduce foods systematically, noting any changes in energy, digestion, cravings, or other symptoms.
For example, gluten may be introduced in small amounts on the first day. Then note what happens over the 24– to 48-hour period after reintroducing each food. Dairy is another food category that is often reintroduced carefully and tested.
|
How Often Can I Cleanse?
This is a general guideline to follow for the frequency of your raw food cleanses. Keep in mind that we are all different, and these recommendations may not suit everyone.

I spent a wonderful 2 weeks at the Manna House on Denman Island in British Columbia recently. I was looking for a quiet retreat in a peaceful place where I could meditate, detox, relax, and detach from my world. Manna House turned out to be the best choice. My hotel room was cozy, clean, and beautiful with all that I needed to unwind and relax. Open to the great outdoors and surrounded by a forest of beautiful fir trees overlooking the bay, it was a wonderful place to regain my calm. Mark the proprietor was awesome and very attentive to my needs and comfort. Mitra was my spiritual leader/teacher from whom I learned to meditate and engage in yoga exercises. The food was fresh and natural. Mitra and Mark are warm compassionate people who have built a wonderful retreat in a beautiful part of the world. I spent my time enjoying the beautiful nature during my long walks and drinking in the cold fresh air. It was quiet and serene. I will return one day to this beautiful place hopefully sooner rather than later. I would highly recommend the Manna House for anyone looking for the same experience. You won't regret it. The price is right and you have nothing to lose but your stress and tension.
Yelena, 10-day Meditation Retreat, Ocean Spray, Dec '24 -
This place is truly divine—a hidden gem on the east side of Denman Island, facing Hornby Island. This was my second visit, and I plan to return every few months to recharge. It’s the perfect sanctuary for reconnecting with nature and finding peace.
The retreat offers breathtaking scenery, from lush greenery to the vast ocean, and every detail is designed to blend seamlessly with the environment. The accommodations are superb with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, including chef-prepared healthy food items that you can order in advance and simply heat up during your stay.
The huge windows showcasing nature and a private outdoor space complete with a hot tub, cold tub, and resting area are unmatched. The focus on sustainability makes the experience even more special.
The service is outstanding. Mark and the staff are incredibly attentive, responding quickly to any message, ensuring every detail of your stay is perfect.
This retreat exceeds all expectations. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a solo retreat, a food detox, or simply a place to recharge, it’s truly a gem. I left feeling rejuvenated and can’t wait to return again soon!
Lynn U, “Eagle View”, May ‘2 -
I needed a place to go to remove myself from the noise of life. I had not managed the stressors in my life appropriately and needed a reset. That is when I found Manna House.
Peaceful, relaxed, and an opportunity to reset my body, mind, and soul.
The food was fresh and delicious
The sauna and hot tub were like automated stress reducers.
I have to admit I didn’t get brave enough to get I into the cold plunge but next trip I will for sure.
The island was peaceful and walks in the Provincial parks provided my own version of forest bathing.
I have come home reset and with a plan to sustain.
Shari B, Ocean Spray, Apr 2025 -
Everywhere on this island tends towards natural BC beauty. Manna House is the west coast curated by a landscape artist surrounded by a cutting edge spa. My Scandinavian soul was in heaven in the ocean beach sauna. Looking forward to returning midwinter. Woke up in the middle of the night looking straight up into starry starry night. The body work was divinely inspired. We took west coast cuisine to the next level. Good times.
Carolyn G, Eagle View, Aug '24As my week comes to a close all I can say is it's been pure bliss. Serenity found. I recharged my soul. Inhale, exhale, spa repeat every single day. I will return home sleeping better with zero pain and increased energy. If y'all need to do something for yourself don't hesitate booking a stay at Manna House. It's fabulous! I'll be back!

"...a beautiful oasis for decompressing, taking a pause and basically being surrounded by the beauty and medicine of nature. I didn’t realize how badly I needed stillness until I felt it again sitting in the glass front sauna staring at the ocean, hanging out with a good book for hours. I even found building the fire incredibly meditative. As a single female traveler I was a bit nervous but once I got there I realized the set up was incredibly private and safe because your staying in a house that’s been converted to several units so you get the best of solitude and the safety of neighbours nearby... This is someone who cares about every person who comes onto his property. Loved the private cedar hot tub too, it was like relaxing in liquid aromatherapy. I’ll be back for sure!"
Olivia C, Ocean Spray, Aug '24 -
I can’t say enough positive things about Manna House as a place to stay and rejuvenate. I did the 4 day organic raw food detox stay by myself. It was my first time being away by myself from all members of my family in 17 years. The detox and hot tub/cold plunge schedule gave me a focus over the four days but I was free to change it how I wanted. I felt safe and calm the entire time I was at Manna House and enjoyed some walks along the beach and on the cross Denman trail. It was rainy and windy during my stay and I could warm up with a sauna or hot tub after a brisk walk. I saw eagles and otters along the beach, as well as many other shore birds. Mark was kind, thoughtful, hospitable, excellent host offering more or less contact as requested. I would stay here and do the detox program again.
Andrea A, Reset Retreat, Sunrise, Mar '25 -
I had an incredible experience during my total detox stay. Mark was excellent throughout the booking process and made everything easy and stress-free. Once I arrived, Devon was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring my stay was as comfortable as possible. As a female solo traveler, I also felt very safe and secure throughout my visit, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. The Eagle Suite was beautiful, and the kitchen was well-equipped, making it a perfect home base. The beach and backyard garden were both serene and picturesque, adding to the overall peaceful atmosphere. It was truly a rejuvenating total detox experience!
Kimberley A, Eagle View, Jan '25 -
Upon arrival, we were immediately captivated by the resort's charm. The rooms exuded an inviting and homely ambiance. The highlight, however, was the Japanese hot tub in each room's garden. The soothing hot water and tranquil atmosphere provided a perfect retreat after a day of exploration.
...The wooden sauna located right on the beach was a true delight. The scent of the sea mingling with the aromatic wood created an incredible sensory experience. And for those seeking an alternative, the infra-red sauna provided a rejuvenating and detoxifying session.
The range of activities... was impressive. From mountain bikes to a kayak and a canoe, there was no shortage of ways to explore the picturesque surroundings. And when the sun began to set, gathering around the fire pits to roast BBQ under a clear, star-filled sky was an experience I won't soon forget...
Constantine C, Eagle View, May '23 -
"...I recently had the most rejuvenating experience at Manna House... The location itself is stunning — nestled in nature, with breathtaking views that immediately set the tone for relaxation... The attention to detail in and out of the suite makes you feel that the place is tailored just for you...
The spa treatments were exactly what I needed; I felt like I was fully relaxed using the infrared sauna, oceanfront wood-burning sauna, plus my private hot tub and cold plunge... Overlooking the lush landscape, the serene meditation gardens, and the beautifully designed rooms all contributed to a sense of total escape. The healthy gourmet meals were another highlight, with each meal being a delightful experience that nourished both body and soul. Selecting the chef-made food is an add-on that's worth including!
What truly sets Manna House apart is the sense of holistic wellness that permeates every aspect of the retreat. Whether you're indulging in a private spa treatment, enjoying the shared amenities on the privately-owned beach, or simply unwinding in the peaceful surroundings, you feel completely cared for and restored.
This spa retreat is a sanctuary of peace, and I left feeling completely revitalized, both physically and mentally. I can't recommend it highly enough—if you're looking for a place to recharge and renew, Manna House is the ultimate destination. I'll definitely be returning as soon as I can!"
Lina S, Spa Retreat, Sunrise, Aug. '24 -
"I am at home now, and reflecting on my experience at Manna House. Firstly, you should know how relaxed and genuinely happy I am. My experience was even better than I could have hoped for.
From the moment Mark picked me up on Denman Island, I knew I was in for an amazing time.
I stayed in the Eagle View Room which was spectacular. My own garden, hot tub and cold plunge and large yard. Also a top deck to enjoy my breakfast outside. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, with a beautiful large soaker tub to relax in. Through my front window I had an amazing view of the ocean and beautiful sunrises and sunsets, which I took many pictures of.
On the Ocean, there was a steam sauna to gaze out at the ocean and have a cold rain shower when I got out of the sauna. Probably my most favorite sauna was the infrared sauna. In fact I loved it so much, I just purchased one for my personal use at home. (I have only been home for 2 days)
Finally I had a massage with Erin. It was honestly the best massage I have ever had.
...if you are looking for a place to unwind, unplug, and pamper your mind, soul and body, this is the place for you. Thank You Manna House, I will be back because I loved my time there."
Leslie R, Eagle View (#3) Jun '24 -
Manna House is a haven for rejuvenation and relaxation. I highly recommend!
Manna House was a wonderful retreat experience. Mark, the owner was very kind and checked in through text regularly to ensure everything was ok, while maintaining guests' privacy.
The Ocean Sauna and fire pit were my favourite part of the experience. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts were always available in quantity.
Vera S, 4-night Raw Food Detox Retreat, stayed in Ocean Spray, April '24 -
Now the food…it was amazing—so much variety that we were excited to decide what we’d prepare every meal. Keep in mind you make your owns shakes and salads which we loved because it was preparing us to come home and repeat it! Everything was fresh, cut up, and ready to enjoy. We never got bored with the options. This retreat not only refreshed me but also inspired me to keep eating raw food each day in my diet. It was a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and great eats. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing this amazing place, Mitra & Mark!
Angela T, 4-night Raw Food Detox Retreat, stayed in Eagle View, June '24 -
I was looking for a retreat due to accumulated stress and the need for solitude and cleanse. I chose this retreat as it offered an individual flexible program. I achieved full recharge of the body and mind.
Let me express my gratitude for welcoming and pampering me in your beautiful place. It definitely surpassed my expectations. I am happy with all the experience I got in Manna House - healing, relaxing, rejuvenating - from breathtaking sea view from my window, nourishing smoothies, warming bathtubs, detoxifying saunas to life-changing massage and astrology sessions. All this made a deep influence on my body, mind and soul.
I miss your care, as now I need to make food supplies myself ))
After the retreat I implemented Wim Hof breathing in my daily routine, switched to organic food and started group Tai Chi sessions. Feeling great so far. We even started thinking of moving to BC one day.
I wish you and Mitra all the best... You are doing great things!!!
