Your Treatment Options

The traditional East Asian medicine treatments I offer have been used for centuries. Like all forms of medicine, TEAM is constantly evolving, developing, and improving.

  • Kampo Herbal Medicine

    Kampo herbal medicine is a traditional Japanese system that uses natural plant-based remedies to promote health, support specific health concerns, and maintain overall well-being.
  • Zen Shiatsu Bodywork

    Zen Shiatsu massage uses finger, hand, elbow, foot, and knee pressure to improve energy flow and bring balance to the body. It can reduce stress, assist with rehab, and promote wellness.
  • Acupuncture + Zen Shiatsu

    Whether you are seeking relief from acute or chronic pain or wish to relax and unwind, acupuncture combined with Zen Shiatsu can be an effective and enjoyable complement to your self-care routine.

  • What happens during my Zen Shiatsu session?

    Every Zen Shiatsu session differs depending on the needs and issues of the client I am working with.

    However, there are common phases that occur, which you can learn about by reading my article, “What to Expect During a Zen Shiatsu Treatment”.

  • Do I have to go to a store to pick up my herbs?

    No. Once a formula is determined, your granulated herbs will arrive by mail, typically within 3-5 days of your consultation.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Where can I park during my treatment?

    There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).

    You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.

  • How much do herbs cost?

    The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.
