Dalian Method Sessions

"Jandy is a gifted facilitator of the Dalian Method. I practise it myself regularly but sought out Jandy’s support for several reasons. Firstly, her command of the Dalian Method is incredibly deep. With her gentle prompts during our work together, Jandy has vastly improved the quality of my self-led sessions by coaching me on how to identify opportunities for deeper self-understanding when they come up. She does not lose sight of her role in the facilitation process, which is to help her clients see something about themselves that they have been unable to see previously. She recognises that only with awareness can we truly release old patterns, and she deploys her intuition and intelligence to great effect by striking the balance between holding space for emotional expression whilst also not over-indulging it at the expense of truly understanding the cause. Jandy is a delight to spend time with and has a beautiful ability to see humour in darkness. She is a kind, compassionate and wise soul and I would highly recommend her." Claire Love, Corporate Finance Consultant

Jandy brought an incredible laser insight into what was happening for me, and gently guided me when I felt stuck, facilitating a very profound shift, different from doing the Dalian Method on my own. Jandy clearly went over my action steps and helped me make SMART action steps, very achievable. I am very grateful to Mada for creating this and to Jandy for facilitating this, the gift of getting to know myself, it is the best gift ever. There is no comparison to anything else. The Dalian Method gets to the root, the real root, and creates a lasting profound shift in all aspects of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I have never experienced anything that is as a complete and total shift like the DM is.” Jenny Abel, Registered Acupuncturist

[The Dalian Method is] Hands down the simplest most effective "technique" I've ever experienced. I know I probably sound like an infomercial right now, but this work really is a "simple" "effective" "product" that so many people lie about having. All other self-reflective work I've done seems a little insane now. How much effort it took to still be in the same place years later. MORE confused. Jandy is an incredibly skilled, intuitive, direct and loving teacher. Work with her now before the secret gets out and she's booked solid!!” Paul Anthony, Producer

"The Dalian Method is such a powerful and empowering technique. I am so grateful for the lessons I have learnt from it and the way Jandy guided me to understand this potent technique and learn how to listen to myself in a new way. Jandy is incredibly intuitive and provides such a wonderful safe space. Every feeling & thought is welcome and a strong shift and release has happened for me in each and every session. What came up in sessions was sometimes surprising – lots of tears were shed and sometimes a LOT of laughter too. Jandy has an infectious laugh and knows how to best guide me in each session.I have done CBT and other forms of meditation over the years and found some old lessons / thoughts were still trapped in my body (even though my mind understood these things), the Dalian method helped me to fully release these. I love using this technique on my own but also will be a repeat customer when I need more guidance on my DM journey. Jandy is such a wonderful guide who came along at the right time for me." Christie Bennett, Set Designer

“*Jandy was an excellent guide and facilitator. This was a transformational session, I am changed through my awareness and encountering my fears. It was a gift. DM is incomparable in the depth of awareness achieved through the methodical expression of emotions and long held pain, fears, beliefs, all exposing the inner truth of my being.**” S.A., MSW

Jandy is a supportive, non-judgemental, and kind facilitator and her passion for sharing the Dalian Method shines through! When I first learned of the Dalian Method, I was a little skeptical and I thought it may be a bit "out there" for me. However, I have always been interested in different healing modalities and I decided it was worth looking into. Jandy was a star at sharing her knowledge and helping me to understand what to expect, and she left no doubts in my mind about booking an appointment. I'm so glad I did! Without exaggeration, the Dalian Method is the most powerful form of self-healing I have ever experienced, and having Jandy as a facilitator and mentor has been a tremendous asset.While you can practice the Dalian Method independently (one of the best things about it!), having a facilitator is really helpful when you're getting oriented to the process or when you want some support in going deeper. I would recommend Jandy and the Dalian Method to anyone at all, but most especially to those who are looking to find more inner peace and empowerment.*” Megan Daly

"Jandy is an amazing woman & facilitator of a technique “Dalian Method” if you are truly stuck in any area of your life or health you can shift that into a deeper knowledge & awareness & give yourself an empowering gift of your own true power & worth Jandy helps you to do this beautifully! Easy & step by step technique but the results are incredible, I’ve been healing & working on self introspection of transmuting life’s burdens & though I have had similar experiences of learning how to do this, that took a while to learn, but this gets you there instantly with a step by step technique that is fool proof & no nonsense & the results are incredible. The best part is, once you learn it you are no longer dependant on anyone for healing or answers because you can finally do this independently for yourself! A very self empowering technique, get the answers for yourself." Hajida Festic

Jandy is gentle, yet very clear in her guidance. She knew just when to say something and when to give me space. I appreciate her ability to sense into the subtle realms and to share what she is seeing and feeling with me. As important as the prompts was Jandy's tuning into the energy of the session. She could clearly feel where I was expanding, and where I was hesitating and not allowing. At these times she urged me to feel and she made space, by pausing the recording, for me to feel more deeply. There is no question how present I felt Jandy was during the session. I could see how attentive she was not only to what I was saying and what I was experiencing through my body and energy, but she was clearly attentive to the inner, deep listening she was feeling/hearing/seeing. I could feel and then see Jandy's attentiveness to multiple levels of awareness at all times. Jandy carefully chose when to share with me. When she did, it always brought what I was sensing to a deeper place. She validated much of what I know and was feeling, allowing me to go even deeper.” Analesa Berg, MA Counselling

"A Dalian Method session with Jandy is transformation in action. Her strength and gentleness create a safe experience which encourages exploration and expression of our deepest emotions. While talking & writing are beneficial to help integrate the changes that arise, DM goes so much deeper than any other therapy I’ve tried. I also love the freedom DM offers - to maintain my own practice in between facilitated sessions with Jandy." Hope Sollows

I was looking for clarity in my session with Jandy. Clarity about the path that I should be taking going forward in the next chapter of my life. I wanted and thought that I would have a very defined clear road map to take. Through this session I did attain clarity. The clarity I acquired was that there wasn’t a clear and defined path going forward. I recognized that I was holding myself back and had been doing so for some time. Life’s journey has many twists and turns and bumps in the road. When something feels right to you at your very core, then it is the right thing for you. I am now comfortable with that fact.” Mary Aaron

Jandy is a powerful, compassionate, and knowing soul. She is a courageous facilitator of truth and delights deeply in seeing those she works with connect to themselves and break free from limiting patterns and beliefs. The Dalian Method has completely transformed my life, time and time again, each time addressing a deeper layer. In my last Dalian Method session with Jandy, I was working on how to balance all of my many commitments without burning out. I felt powerless and drained, and unsure of how to help those who I felt needed my help. Jandy facilitated my session with a strong subtle insight, bringing to light what was inside me, an awareness I had not been seeing. This 2 hour session could have taken countless counselling sessions, working on the various areas of concern and only addressing it mentally. Whereas with this session, I felt my whole body sink in and relax. I felt my energy expand. I felt a joyous playfulness, and a deep sense of my being. All those areas in my life that felt overwhelming melted away. Following the session, all of my interactions completely changed. I no longer felt exhausted or drained, instead I felt energized and excited and that I could do whatever I wanted to do and share myself in a joyous abundant way. The Dalian Method changes everything, all aspects- if you are ready. I can't think of a better gift to give yourself then getting more connected to yourself and your power and I can't recommend the Dalian Method and Jandy highly enough. See Jandy if you are ready. If you do the work- it will change your life and the lives of those around you in a beautiful, profound way.” J.A.

"Thank you for your 100% beautiful work last night [with the Dalian Method session]. I feel my being has changed, profound although a very little bit. My ego's voice is less important to me. I experienced joy today. I can really see how this work has no end to it. It is scary - like learning to peek into the boundless Universe - but I look forward to doing my first session on my own soon." Thank you for this Gift, Jandy!! :) Teresa Lam - Registered Cliinical Acupuncturist

Workshops

“[The Dalian Method] is an excellent method to get to the source of pain and work toward freedom from the pain so we can heal and serve our clients with excellence from a wholesome place. The method clearly has been created from years of learning and interpreting and practice. It is hands on and demystifies the practice while easing participants into practice with follow up. The method does not dwell on the dramatic details of pain but rather the source and being ok with the feelings. The method recognizes the core barrier to success and provides a way of release and rejuvenation. I think it is really valuable to clarify what causes us pain so that we do not transfer it to others and so we can be healthy and help others. Thank you again for the privilege of experiencing this with you all.” ~ Ross Owens, Resilience Training with the Dalian Method

"[The Dalian Method enabled me] to verbalize the things that have been bothering me. Hearing them aloud gave me perspective on understanding whether they were my truth or not. It allowed me to see through the distractions to what was true and important to me. I felt a big shift in my energy during the workshop. [It was helpful] having the support of my teammates there and to have tangible action steps when leaving. I definitely couldn't [describe the Dalian Method] in one sentence (I tried in a text to a friend, who wrote back "oh that's great you did some mindfulness techniques" to which I wanted to shout back IT'S AMAZING AND SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!!!), it's complex and hard to articulate the experience. It has elements from other practices and healing work (including parts that reminded me of Ho'oponopono). The method uses several techniques, including felt sense awareness, visualization, breath-work, and physical movement to explore, address and create clarity around subconscious beliefs and needs. As a mental health tool it is exceptionally effective in terms of the impact it can make and what it can uncover in one session. As a tool, it is a great method to address, work through and create action steps to move forward. For the length of the workshop, it really can tackle an issue so an individual can move on. I can see how it could be used over and over again as a tool to overcoming challenges, which in turn would build resilience. The process is very different from any mindfulness or healing process I have been to before. The main differences that stood out to me were: 1) The prompts/guidance from Jandy to unlock the subconscious thoughts (this was amazing to see what came out! 2) The physical movements combined with the visualizations and verbalizations. I would like to try the Dalian Method again. I would absolutely recommend a workshop like this to others." Tory Braun - Communications Lead, Resilience Training with the Dalian Method Workshop

"[The Dalian Method is] a very powerful guided process incorporating body-awareness, breathwork and verbalization to uncover blind spots and buried emotions and release them. I found the big difference [between the Dalian Method and other tools] was in the connection to breath and the body, as opposed to just the mind (ie. talk therapy). I found working with breath and body much more effective than staying at a purely intellectual level where you can overthink, rationalize, argue your way out of it etc. For me this was a powerful way to break out of loops of thinking that can often induce anxiety or depression." Claris Figuera, Teacher - Resiliency Training with the Dalian Method

"Jandy did a great job of coaching us through this new process, especially when some sensitive topics come up. I have more clarity on some of the underlying issues and have a new strategy for coping with stress.[The Dalian Method] is definitely more intense than I've tried before. It dives into the unconscious head first and unapologetically. It helps to do a lot of self exploration in a short period of time. I like the Dalian method as almost a form of exposure therapy whereby participants are forced to deal with their demons head on. I would definitely recommend this to others!" McKenzie MarLane - Resilience Training with the Dalian Method

"The [Dalian] Method was very helpful, direction on how to apply the method is absolutely necessary. I think that I always found meditation so unguided, there is not enough activity to focus me and trying to clear my mind without direction is very difficult while the Dalian Method allowed me to do so while working out my feelings rather than seeking a peace I could not possibly attain without knowing the root causes." Heather Elliot - Resilience Training with the Dalian Method
