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. -

Whether you are seeking relief from acute or chronic pain or wish to relax and unwind, acupuncture combined with Zen Shiatsu can be an effective and enjoyable complement to your self-care routine.

Are medicinal herbs safe to be used in conjunction with modern pharmaceuticals?
Yes, except when explicitly understood not to. Then absolutely not. This is another reason to never explore herbal medicine on your own.
-
When is the best time to book acupuncture treatment?
I generally recommend acupuncture when you have an issue in an acute (sudden onset) or “flare-up” stage.
For example, if you have a history of headaches I would suggest you see me in-between headaches so we can work on the root causes of the issue. These sessions will also help to lessen the frequency of occurrence.
Of course, you can also choose to come see me while you are experiencing a headache (or before one is just about to start). In this case, I will offer acupuncture along with bodywork in order to effectively reduce and resolve the problem.
-
How soon will my herbs arrive?
Expect your herbs to arrive by mail within 3-5 days after your initial consultation.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
