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!
-
Do you offer direct biling?
No, not at this time. However, I do provide receipts that you can submit to your extended benefits provider.
-
Are acupuncture needles sterile and safe?
Absolutely. I use only high quality Japanese needles which come straight from the factory and are opened in front of you. Points are sterilized with alcohol. Needles are disposed of in a biohazard box and are never reused.
-
What should I wear during my treatment?
This is ultimately up to you, though please do not wear jeans during your treatment.
Some people like to wear loose-fitting clothing, like track pants or shorts and a t-shirt. Others strip to their underwear and choose to be draped with a sheet.
-
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.
-
How much do herbs cost?
The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.
