About A Ranch

This 17-acre ranch has been a special gathering place for a very long time, as can be seen by the pictographs near the classroom, which were drawn by the Coahilla Indians about 800 years ago, and the nearby bedrock mortars (grinding stones).

Pictographs by the Coahilla Indians

A Ranch is 7 miles south of Hemet in scenic Southern California, and 80 miles northeast of San Diego. It is in the foothills of the San Jacinto mountains, 45 minutes from beautiful mile-high Idyllwild. The nearest airport is Ontario (about 1 hr. 15 min.), but the L.A. and Orange County airports are also accessible by shuttle. There are three houses for students to stay in, trailer hookups and camping facilities.

Brief Biography:

Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, M.A., L.M.F.T.
A licensed psychotherapist for twenty five years, Iona is the originator of "Jin Shin Do" and the founder (1982) and director of the Jin Shin Do® Foundation for Bodymind Acupressure®— an international network of Authorized JSD Teachers and Registered JSD Acupressurists throughout the U.S. and Canada, and in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the U.K.

Iona has taught for nearly forty years, throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. She is the author of: The Acupressure Way of Health: Jin Shin Do® (1978, the first acupressure book to emphasize the "Strange Flows" or Extraordinary Vessels); The Joy of Feeling: Bodymind Acupressure® (1987, a landmark book integrating classic Chinese acupuncture theory with Eastern/Taoist and Western psychological views); and the Revised Complete Guide to Acupressure (1996/2002, with chapters by Iona on the "four legs of JSD," Ericksonian principles, and abuse and trauma issues, and chapters by Senior JSD Teachers).

Iona now mainly teaches small classes at "A Ranch" in Southern California, but she periodically gives workshops for students of Senior JSD Teachers.
