Maria D. Chuapoco-Reynolds

Maria D. Chuapoco-Reynolds grew up in a medical family, her father Cecilio was a physician and surgeon and her mother, Philomena Dooley, a nurse, mid-wife and Senior JSJ instructor and mentor.

Maria has had the rare fortune to personally meet and learn directly from Master Jiro Murai’s only living students, Mary Burmeister and Dr. Haruki Kato.

Upon attending her first class with Mary over 45 years ago, something awakened within her and felt that whatever her journey forward, Jin Shin Jyutsu was to become a constant ally.

Maria studies and works extensively with Philomena, one of the preeminent scholars of Jin Shin Jyutsu. She teaches globally through The Jin Shin Institute and Alexis Brink.

Her curiosity of the healing arts and energy work led her to study other modalities such as Shen-Qi with Master Aiping Wang in Croatia, Yo Long Gong Qi Gong with Master Yu An Ren in China, Bu Qi with Dr. Shen of Belgium.

Maria practices in Boulder, Colorado USA, where she lives with her husband Tim, daughters Celia and Julia, a spirited border collie, a mean cat, six happy hens and a dozen fish. Being in nature, gathering with people and feeding them renews her spirit.

Helping people integrate this simple and impactful art into their lives is a great honor. She weaves a rich tapestry of experiences into her understanding of Jin Shin Jyutsu and shares her knowledge with humor and joy.
