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.

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”.
-
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.
-
What are acupuncture needles like?
Acupuncture needles are very thin, and rarely cause any discomfort. The needles used at Daniel Adler Clinic are made of stainless steel, and are single-use/disposable.
-
You say you practice a “gentle” style of acupuncture. Is it still effective?
Yes. My gentle approach does not compromise the quality or effectiveness of acupuncture treatment, and actually enhances it.
By focusing on gentleness and a “less is more” philosophy, I can create a more comfortable and relaxing experience for my client. This reduces the potential for discomfort during the treatment, making it easier for the client to remain relaxed and receptive to the therapeutic effects. A gentler approach often allows the body to respond more naturally and positively, promoting a smoother flow of energy, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
-
Which public transit stations are near the clinic?
The closest subway stations are Dupont, Christie, and Ossington.
It is a 10-15 minute walk from each of these stations to the clinic, and there are frequent buses you can catch.

How soon will my herbs arrive?
Expect your herbs to arrive by mail within 3-5 days after your initial consultation.
