Herbal Medicine + Zen Shiatsu + Acupuncture

Bodywork to me means working with the human body in a deeply connected manner, using the methods of Zen Shiatsu, acupuncture, and herbs in order to correct imbalances and bring about positive change.

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.

Expect your herbs to arrive by mail within 3-5 days after your initial consultation.

Acupuncture is generally not considered to be a painful treatment, and I practice a very gentle style of acupuncture.

Some clients may feel a slight prick or sensation when the needles are inserted, but this sensation is usually brief and fades quickly. It’s not nearly like giving blood or stubbing your toe!

I strongly discourage exploring herbal medicine without professional input.

In order to determine which herbs are best for your needs, I will inquire about your ailment and your lifestyle to better understand your body as a whole.

The formulas and herbs discussed in our sessions are part of a much larger system. They may be appropriate for certain individuals who suffer from the conditions described, but are not necessarily the best choice for everyone in that situation.

The most common side effect is digestive. Allergic reactions are rare.

Digestive side effects may include some distention, bloating, or loosing of stool. These side effects usually pass as your body adjusts to the new substance you are taking.
