Do I need to talk during my treatment?
No. You will be asked questions about your condition during your assessment, before the treatment begins. Talking is kept to a minimum during treatment, unless you have something to discuss, or if I need more information and clarification.
It is important to note, however, that when working with the physical body during a Zen Shiatsu treatment, it is not uncommon for a client to feel emotions arise during a session. By using gentle, sensitive, and aware touch, I am also connecting with the energetic, mental, and emotional aspects of your being, which can be affected.
-
Where can I park during my treatment?
There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).
You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.
-
Is acupuncture always combined with bodywork?
Yes. At Daniel Adler Clinic I always combine acupuncture with Zen Shiatsu bodywork for a more holistic and beneficial experience.
The bodywork I administer facilitates the healing process, giving you a more comprehensive treatment during your session.
-
Is there more than one herbal formula for a single condition?
Yes. Often there may be more than one formula that can be chosen for your condition. Depending on your constitution, one of these may be effective while others may not.
Generally “hitting the target” happens after the initial consultation and you will feel some positive improvement. To “hit the bullseye” may take a second or third try. Once the correct formula is arrived at, we won’t change it until the condition is resolved.
-
How many Zen Shiatsu sessions do I need?
It all depends on you. I often get good results after one session, however, it usually takes a series of three to see a strong shift in condition.
It is important to remember though that as some conditions take a long time to develop, equally so it can take a corresponding amount of time to undo.
I have some clients that have been seeing me for years to maintain their zone level and enjoy a full quality of life, no matter their age or ailments.
-
How much do herbs cost?
The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.
