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.
-
Is Zen Shiatsu only for physical relief?
No. While Zen Shiatsu is wonderful for offering relief to physical ailments, I have helped many clients with depression, nervousness and anxiety, insomnia, anger and frustration, worry, and grief.
-
How frequently should I book Zen Shiatsu treatments?
Ideally you would choose to receive Zen Shiatsu treatment regularly, whether it be every week, every second week, or once a month. This sort of preventative approach maintains health and vitality (maintains the green zone) and stops problems from creeping into the orange zone or becoming red.

-
Is acupuncture more commonly used to treat ailments or for health maintenance?
I more frequently administer acupuncture to treat specific ailments as opposed to general health maintenance, however this is not a hard and fast rule.
Many of my clients keep monthly or bi-monthly acupuncture appointments as a component of proactively managing their health.
-
Will I be prescribed more than one herbal remedy?
In general I prefer to only prescribe a single formula. In that way I can know exactly what has been taken into your body and can understand what to expect.
However, If your situation is complicated or you have numerous complaints, I may choose to prescribe more than one formula. For example, one formula for your basic underlying constitution and another formula to address your presenting symptoms.
-
What is the difference between shiatsu and Zen Shiatsu?
Zen Shiatsu treatments involve the use of the practitioner’s fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, feet, and knees. Zen Shiatsu also considers the “energetic” aspect of the human being (as developed in traditional East Asian medicine) in integration with the modern medical understanding of the body.
There are many styles of shiatsu. Some use the thumb only, others focus only on the modern anatomical and musculoskeletal aspect of the body.
