Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?
Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
