“Vicki stands out as a practitioner because she can draw upon in-depth experience in modern medical frameworks as well as a wealth of knowledge and experience in more holistic modalities.
I worked with Vicki through my journey with breast cancer and I will be forever grateful for the role she has played in my life. I have often wished that every woman facing breast cancer could have access to Vicki. Her experience, sophistication, intelligence, compassion, and healing abilities are a true treasure."

"Recently, chronic knee pain resulting from a decade-old athletic injury suddenly shifted. As the sensation in my knee intensified, it broke open like a punctured balloon and warm energy poured down my leg from my knee. The suddenness of this breaking of the old energetic dam astonished me, being one of the few truly dramatic healing moments in my life.
The pain has not returned, including during strenuous hikes. Vicki's capacity to be present in her compassionate way is a rare and treasured strength. She has a deep capacity to hold a healing space for change as only a true healer does."

"Consumed with anxiety related to immune deficiencies, coupled with sleep deprivation and chronic arthritic pain, I was feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. I was referred to Vicki and found that her relaxing sessions using Jin Shin Jyutsu healing treatments provided me with a calming energy flow allowing my body and mind to become in balance with each other. Vicki has a magical way of administering chronic relief through her gentle yet powerful techniques. My experience with her was profoundly beneficial and valuable."
Pam Pansini
"Vicki has a magical way of administering chronic relief through her gentle yet powerful techniques.
"She listens on a very deep level and is extremely intuitive. Because of her medical and social work background she is able to approach health issues on a holistic level. I came to her after major surgery and other health-related issues. I had felt stuck, and like I wasn’t healing as fast as I should be. With Vicki‘s help she developed a customized protocol for me which enabled me to begin my healing journey on all levels. Her skills really made a huge difference in my energy and ability to recover fully. Additionally, she is also an incredible health advocate. I highly recommend her."
Linda W.
"Vicki is one of the most empathic, caring, and talented energy healers I have ever worked with."
"I first met Vicki while in the midst of a very rough go with chemotherapy. After listening to my pulses, she knew just where and how to address my poor distressed body. I left and noticed right away that my energy had improved, though it had a long way to go.
Having tried acupuncture earlier, I found I preferred the use of light hands-on in contrast to the needles. It was more personal and allowed for her to tune in to the places most needing help. Vicki combines this gentle but powerful technique with words of caring and support. IT WORKS! In fact, over the following year of work together, I consider her work to be the most powerful influence in my healing."

"Initially, I was unsure how [Jin Shin Jyutsu] would help me but I have been enjoying the ongoing benefits for over 10 years. Vicki Landes is an accomplished, compassionate, and thorough practitioner of this art. She has continually had the ability to discern which physical issue or stress was having a negative impact on my well-being and has successfully adjusted each session to alleviate these problems.
After every session, I feel wonderful, experiencing deep relaxation and less stress that extends well beyond each session. I am extremely grateful to Vicki Landes and her expertise with the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, and I highly recommend her."
Charlotte Klein
“Deep relaxation and less stress that extends well beyond each session”
"I have been seeing Vicki once a month for a couple of years, and there’s no doubt she has the healing gift. I first contacted Vicki when my sister was in the hospital, clinging to life. The priest had been called in to give the last rites, and out of desperation, I called Vicki. [My sister] has since completely recovered.
Not long after, I started to see Vicki on a monthly basis after dealing with constant fatigue and a series of abnormal blood tests, and her treatments have made a huge difference in my life. My blood tests have improved, and my energy level is back where it was 10-15 years ago. And on top of it all, Vicki is a joy to interact with. She exudes caring, kindness, and wisdom. You just can’t go wrong having Vicki in your corner!"
Joe Dunn
“Vicki's treatments have made a huge difference in my life.”
"Spanning the better part of 2 decades, I have received monthly Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments from Vicki. Throughout my adult life I have been a person committed to maintaining health and well-being and Jin Shin Jyutsu has been an integral part of that. I have highly recommended Vicki to many who I think will benefit from her work and have witnessed their health transform in terms of both mental well-being and physical balance and healing. Whether you are facing health issues or want to focus on maintenance and prevention, Jin Shin Jyutsu with Vicki can promote powerful healing."

"My work with Vicki began shortly after I had a bone marrow transplant for leukemia. We met to work on boosting my immune system, supporting my liver and kidney functions, detoxing my body from all of the medications, and managing other side effects. She gave me self-help flows to do at home to maintain the progress I made. After each session, I felt peaceful, calm, and energized. Her treatments helped reduce my pain and calm my stress.
I am now leukemia-free. In my heart, I believe that Vicki played a huge role in getting me to this point. Vicki’s skill at Jin Shin Jyutsu is an art. She moves with the grace of a beautiful dancer and allows the Creator’s healing energy to flow through her into her clients. Working with Vicki has been one of the most powerful and wonderful blessings of my life."
