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. -

How long are your sessions?
Appointment times are scheduled for 1 hour, with longer 75-minute initial sessions for acupuncture and herbal consultations.
You can find full details on the Rates page.
-
Is there more than one herbal formula for a single condition?
Yes. Often there may be more than one formula that can be chosen for your condition. Depending on your constitution, one of these may be effective while others may not.
Generally “hitting the target” happens after the initial consultation and you will feel some positive improvement. To “hit the bullseye” may take a second or third try. Once the correct formula is arrived at, we won’t change it until the condition is resolved.
-
Will my herbal medicine remedy work on the first try?
Sometimes, but not always. Some trial and error is to be anticipated in the initial prescription. Matching a formula to your situation is akin to a “lock and key”. The perfect formula opens up the solution for your problem.
-
What do you mean by the term “bodywork”?
Bodywork to me means working with the human body in a deeply connected manner, using the methods of Zen Shiatsu, acupuncture, and herbs in order to correct imbalances and bring about positive change.
-
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 the principles of traditional East Asian medicine?
Practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) view the body as a unified and connected whole, utilizing different world views that include Ki / Qi, Yin and Yang, and meridians.
TEAM practitioners, like myself, acknowledge and understand that a) there are other approaches to health and healing that developed prior to modern/Western medical understanding, and b) that these approaches were and are still effective and relevant.
