John Davis, an avid practitioner of the martial and healing arts for over 35 years 
Recipient of the Veterans’ Advocacy Center Healing Hands Project grant 

John has had a long-term interest in healing and martial arts, beginning in the late 1970s 
when he was first introduced to the remarkable health benefits of applied kinesiology and muscle testing. 

In the early 80s, he began martial arts training and earned advanced rankings in Hung Gar Kung Fu and 
Nine Heavenly Dragon Gate Kung Fu, of the Chinese Vajrayana Chan Buddhism tradition. 
John’s focus shifted from the martial arts to Qigong and the Asian healing arts during the late 1990s 
when he began immersing himself in the teachings of the Healing Tao in Toronto. 

He further expanded his knowledge in the early 2000s by completing an intense, comprehensive 
two-year program steeped in the Native Whisperer’s tradition of spiritual self-healing, where John 
had the privilege to study and practice with the Spiritual Advisor to the Six Nations. 

Around that same time, John began his study and practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu, a Japanese 
energy balancing art, and has been practicing full-time since 2011. In 2019, his contribution to 
healing practices was recognized with a grant from the National Veterans’ Advocacy Center 
Healing Hands Project dedicated to helping combat veterans. 

John continues to offer his services of Qigong and Jin Shin Jyutsu from his Williamsville, NY office, 
extending his practices to veterans and other individuals seeking holistic health related practices.
