Can herbal medicine be taken when following vegetarian, vegan, and other specialised diets?
Yes! All of your dietary needs will be discussed and considered during our assessment, however these herbs are safe for all dietary restrictions.
-
When is the best time to book acupuncture treatment?
I generally recommend acupuncture when you have an issue in an acute (sudden onset) or “flare-up” stage.
For example, if you have a history of headaches I would suggest you see me in-between headaches so we can work on the root causes of the issue. These sessions will also help to lessen the frequency of occurrence.
Of course, you can also choose to come see me while you are experiencing a headache (or before one is just about to start). In this case, I will offer acupuncture along with bodywork in order to effectively reduce and resolve the problem.
-
How often do you recommend an acupuncture treatment?
The frequency of your acupuncture treatments will be directly related to the severity of the issue we are addressing.
For example, if your problem is acute and severe, treatments might be as frequent as every two days until resolved.
-
Do you use oils or tools during Zen Shiatsu massage?
Generally, no. I will occasionally apply liniments to acute strains, sparing, and fractures. However my best work comes directly through my hands, elbows, knees, and feet.
-
What is your cancellation policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If you do not provide at least 24 hours notice, or if you do not show up for your appointment, you will be charged the full amount of your scheduled treatment.
I value your business and appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
-
Does Zen Shiatsu use a lot of pressure?
No. Zen Shiatsu treatments are a gentle pressure treatment, rather than an intense massage technique.
The pressure used in Zen Shiatsu should not make the client “brace” against it. They should be able to relax around it and accept it into their tissues. When stronger or more intense pressure is required, it is deep and gentle rather than grinding and painful.
