About
Meet Ron Pankratz and the story behind
Chiron Acutherapeutics
Hi there, I'm Ron
I have practiced and taught Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® for thirty years, using a client-centred approach to ease the body-mind tensions that arise from conflicting life experiences. I work with the Extraordinary Vessels, the original eight energy flows that form at conception, weaving them into personalized balancing sessions that invite healing and homeostasis.
I believe in the wisdom of each client's core self, and I let it emerge during a session. Amidst the noise of the outer world lies a calm and peaceful inner part, your own Divinity, and my aim is to help you reconnect with it and feel whole again.
Where Sound Meets Touch
When I discovered Acutonics®, I saw the potential of combining the Extraordinary Vessels, the meridian system, and the Five Element theory of Chinese medicine with finely calibrated planetary tuning forks placed on the acupoints. Sound is a healing force: forks, chimes, and gongs played on the points and in the energy field carry the work to a deeper level.
The Planetary Gongs are a world of their own. They can induce a trancelike state, and some clients describe travelling through the universe, a perspective that helps them sense whether they are living in alignment with their true selves. Through my Acutonics® teachers and peers I also came to Medical Astrology, tailoring the planetary forks and their placement to each client's natal chart.
Today, Chiron Acutherapeutics brings all three together, Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®, Acutonics®, and Medical Astrology, in one comprehensive, holistic session.
Why Chiron Acutherapeutics
Chiron (Χείρωνας Κένταυρος in Ancient Greek) is your instinct to heal. Chiron is the doctor, the medicine man or woman, the teacher who understands the difference between being a healer and being a rescuer. As a healer, Chiron bridges the physical dimension with the metaphysical, where change can happen in the twinkling of an eye.
Chiron energy helps you understand the gift of the wound and trust the options that build a new bridge to the sacred. It trains you to become a mentor and an initiator into higher levels of consciousness. Recognizing your innate urge toward wholeness, with Chiron, the spiritual warrior, you become the healed healer. I use the Chiron forks, chimes, and gong often in my session work.
Acutherapeutics is simply the right word for the blend of modalities I use.
The Myth of Chiron
In Greek myth, Chiron was the wise centaur who taught the demigods, and a "Wounded Healer" after being struck by one of Hercules' arrows.
Half-man and half-animal, he embodies the tension in all of us between instinct and reason. His story reminds us that our deepest wounds can become our greatest strengths, and that through our own pain, both mental and physical, we can become a source of healing and compassion for others. Chiron is the spirit of selfless service, the healed healer.

I loved my distance Acutonics® session with Ron! I have lots of nervous energy and find it very hard to relax. But, after an hour I felt like I had spent the day at the spa, rested and tingling. The best part? The feeling lasted for 3 days!Andrea LewisDigital Marketer
