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.

What do the herbs taste like?
They may be bitter, sour, woody, or rooty. Sometimes they don’t taste great, but they are by no means terrible!
-
How much do herbs cost?
The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.
-
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.
-
Does acupuncture hurt?
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!
-
How frequently should I book Zen Shiatsu treatments?
Ideally you would choose to receive Zen Shiatsu treatment regularly, whether it be every week, every second week, or once a month. This sort of preventative approach maintains health and vitality (maintains the green zone) and stops problems from creeping into the orange zone or becoming red.

Are medicinal herbs safe to be used in conjunction with modern pharmaceuticals?
Yes, except when explicitly understood not to. Then absolutely not. This is another reason to never explore herbal medicine on your own.
