The Client Experience
Sandy Hong
There isn't much more I can say about Cobi's work other than the fact that it is, quite literally, life-altering. Her presence is calm, warm, attentive and her very touch is imbued with compassion. Her gift is that she is able to not only ask the right questions and procure the story of your body through your own words, but to then respond to that effectively with a highly trained, intuitive sensibility, using her knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Reiki and empathy work. After one session I had with Cobi, I noticed that I was actually walking differently, with full consciousness that I had been distributing my weight into one leg much more than the other. It's the small adjustments and subtle consciousness that emerges when Cobi works on you, where you begin to see the bigger picture that JSJ or Reiki can provide. I even had a session where her touch allowed me to remember things I had not remembered in a very long time! Could our body store memory in places where we've felt trauma, or repressed things in our past? Can a person's therapeutic touch and guiding questions allow me to learn (and unlearn) the story of my body? I am a believer of this now, after many sessions with Cobi Konadu.

I am so grateful for Cobi. Now I can tell the difference after my third session with her how much of the progress I can feel in my body. Amazing how she is so tender and her work is so gentle and so effective. There's always this great feeling leaving her office. Thank you!

Cobi is amazing! I have only been working with her a month so far and have noticed a huge shift in so many different areas of my life. Back pain that was deeply impacting sleep, movement, and work is basically gone. I have been able to feel more calm in my body and system, and have learned to be more curious and to pay more attention to my physical experience. I cannot wait to continue to work with Cobi. Her work and presence has made a substantial impact on me.

I am extremely grateful for the Myofascial Release sessions that I did with Cobi. My body felt safe and held by her gentleness, compassion, and calm presence. The unwinding and release of tension and pain in my system felt similar to what I have experienced working with trauma therapists. Cobi’s work with me has made a real difference in my personal and spiritual unfolding.

Cobi has completely changed how I live in my body. Over the last 6 months, I feel more calm, able to cope better with physical and emotional stress, and live in less pain/discomfort. Her knowledge and engagement in her work is unmatched by other providers I’ve worked with. I am immensely grateful to have had the time to work with Cobi and receive from her healing.

I only had about 15 minutes with Cobi, but she helped bring me to a deep space of relaxation. Before opening my eyes, I placed my hands over my face to gently allow the light back in. I literally felt the electric energy generated during our short session by feeling and seeing a bunch of white dots behind my closed eye lids. I've never experienced that before - such an awesome and wild sensation!

Immediately after starting my work with Cobi I felt and saw major shifts in my life. Having sought treatment for a multitude of ailments - anxiety, poor digestion, chronic fatigue, absent menstrual cycle, acne - to no avail, Cobi was able to connect with me energetically open up the blocks in my body that were responsible for my troubles. What I especially love, is that she shares pressure points on my body that I can hold at any time to help find my harmony. I look forward to every single session with Cobi and, without fail, leave feeling refreshed, restored & harmonized.

I have had three consecutive sessions with Cobi, and am now doing two a month. The treatments are very relaxing and comfortable while Cobi does her work on my muscles. I have noticed a lessening of pain in my leg and a general sense of well-being over-all. In conjunction with my other exercise classes, Cobi’s bodywork is helping me to walk better and feel better.

I received several Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments throughout the whole process of a complete ruptured patella (knee-cap) tendon rebuild, that includes the day of the injury, every day leading up to the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the days after the surgery, which in total is a 3 month process. I wholeheartedly believe that because of Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments given to me by Cobi, I only needed and used pain medication one day after surgery. With a good surgeon and a well-executed surgery and 12 weeks of complete immobilization of your leg most people come out of the immobilizing cast with only 10% range of motion, I can say without a doubt that because of receiving Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments from Cobi my healing process was much shorter and I came out of the immobilizer with 45% range of motion, I believe in and standby Cobi and the Art of Jin shin Jyutsu.

I suffer from Lymphedema in my legs & peripheral neuropathy in my feet. Neither one has a cure. I have worked with Cobi since early May 2021. Although my problems can't be cured, her gentle touch has given me much relief from pain. My legs have reduced in size & my feet have decreased in swelling. I have tried to incorporate alternate methods of treatment & have found that somatic therapy helps a great deal both physically & mentally. No treatment, either doctor, pills or a more holistic method comes without a price tag. Taking better care of my health is a priority to me, so I am willing to spend my healthcare dollars on a treatment that makes me feel better. Cobi uses a "no pressure" technique that is both relaxing & refreshing."

My experience with JSJ has been transformative. Sessions with Cobi have always left me feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and at peace. Cobi is such a kind and warm spirit, providing personable and comfortable professionalism throughout all of our interactions. In addition to our sessions, she shares her knowledge of JSJ, which I deeply appreciate and value, allowing me to take JSJ with me on the go. I am excited for her new gatherings, the Story of Us, where I can learn further about the relationship between my body and how I can begin to understand it in a way I didn't know possible through JSJ. Very grateful to have discovered this practice and for Cobi sharing her knowledge of it. I warmly and confidently recommend Cobi and all of the services she provides.

Cobi offers Jin Shin Jyutsu in a way that is completely accessible to people with no prior knowledge or experience with it (like me). She is an intuitive, gentle yet powerful healer that creates space for you to open up and receive with confidence and trust. The process was exceedingly relaxing and put me in such a state of release and flow, I almost fell blissfully asleep. We worked on a digestive issue that amazingly enough was cleared by the next day. The nature the practice is divinely empowering, in that you have the tools to heal yourself. Cobi's nature fits effortlessly with these teachings in her generosity, strength and passion for empowering those around her.
Emma Bowen
My Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments with Cobi have transported me to a place of deep tranquility in the body and mind, which has allowed me—and my yoga practice—to feel softer, more open, and more fluid. Cobi’s sweet, confident, and powerful presence puts me at ease, and thus makes me more receptive to the bodywork. Her assessment of my unique needs during each treatment has been so helpful on physical and emotional levels. Very fortunate to have her Jin Shin Jyutsu as part of my self-care routine.

Cobi has a way of doing things a bit differently. After practicing yoga for five years I had the pleasure of taking her class. She taught me a new pose that I now use regularly in my practice. The art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is like a new yoga pose in the practice of life. Dedicating a bit of time and energy can come back to you tenfold.
If reaching a new level of openness is your thing. Or if you want to let go of entanglement (emotional and physical), Jin Shin Jyutsu is for you. This way of healing through touch is a powerful tool and Cobi has a key to the "energy locks" that many of us live with.
Sara Mendelson
Healing and Rejuvenating: the two adjectives (among many) that pop out to me as I think back on my Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions with Cobi. I came to our appointments usually a ball of nerves, as someone suffering from insomnia, digestive issues and hormone issues, each session I left with a renewed peace of mind and body. Literally like a weight had been LIFTED off my shoulders. Cobi's wonderful too--It's nice to work with someone who genuinely cares both to help you and to know you. One of the best parts of JSJ? You can practice anywhere and Cobi has tons of tips to help you easily do that.

Cobi is a brilliant instructor, whose eloquence and tenderness is energetically potent. It was an honor to have her lead a Jin Shin Jyutsu workshop for us, and I am humbled to work consistently with someone of her grace. She expertly creates a safe space for everyone to participate, learn, observe, share, and just be, and gently guides each person through a journey of life changing self empowerment.
