How many Zen Shiatsu sessions do I need?
It all depends on you. I often get good results after one session, however, it usually takes a series of three to see a strong shift in condition.
It is important to remember though that as some conditions take a long time to develop, equally so it can take a corresponding amount of time to undo.
I have some clients that have been seeing me for years to maintain their zone level and enjoy a full quality of life, no matter their age or ailments.
-
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!
-
Do I have to wear a mask during treatment?
Masks are no longer required while you receive treatment. However, as Covid-19 and other airborne diseases are a reality, please evaluate yourself carefully before coming to treatment. If you do have a fever, chills, sore throat, sudden unexplained stuffy nose, respiratory difficulty, or other unexplained acute symptons, please cancel your appointment and stay home to get better.
-
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.
