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.

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.
-
Do you offer facial acupuncture treatments?
Yes, I offer Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment, which is different to cosmetic acupuncture. Ask me for more if you are interested!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?
Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.
