How much do herbs cost?
The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.
-
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.
-
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 you offer direct biling?
No, not at this time. However, I do provide receipts that you can submit to your extended benefits provider.
-
What is the difference between shiatsu and Zen Shiatsu?
Zen Shiatsu treatments involve the use of the practitioner’s fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, feet, and knees. Zen Shiatsu also considers the “energetic” aspect of the human being (as developed in traditional East Asian medicine) in integration with the modern medical understanding of the body.
There are many styles of shiatsu. Some use the thumb only, others focus only on the modern anatomical and musculoskeletal aspect of the body.
-
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.
