Herbal Medicine + Zen Shiatsu + Acupuncture
Welcome to Daniel Adler Clinic
I offer my services as an experienced and certified practitioner of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) based in Toronto, Ontario.
In my practice I work with individuals seeking alternative medicine options to facilitate self-healing and to overcome illness and disease.
As a TEAM practitioner I use herbal remedies and the techniques of Zen Shiatsu bodywork and acupuncture to help you restore balance and harmony to your body and mind.
I am here when you’re ready. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?
Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.
-
Do you offer facial acupuncture treatments?
Yes, I offer Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment, which is different to cosmetic acupuncture. Ask me for more if you are interested!
-
Do I call you Daniel or T’agyol? What does T’agyol mean?
I resonate strongly with both of my names, and use them interchangeably.
T’agyol is my Dharma name, which I received when I took Buddhist Precepts in the Korean Zen tradition. It means “Harmonizing of Opposites and Conflict Resolution”.
-
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.
-
How long are your sessions?
Appointment times are scheduled for 1 hour, with longer 75-minute initial sessions for acupuncture and herbal consultations.
You can find full details on the Rates page.
-
Will my extended benefits cover your services?
It depends on the specific extended health benefits plan that you have. Some extended health benefits plans cover traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners, while others do not. Some plans cover all of my services, others cover only some, for example acupuncture but not herbal medicine.
It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider to find out what is covered under your specific plan.
