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.
-
What are meridian systems?
The concept of meridians is a way of viewing pathways in the body that link various areas into an integrated whole and through which vital energy (Qi or Ki) flows. Meridians form a core foundation of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM).
Meridian pathways correspond with muscle chains and fascia, as well as the nervous system, but have a broader application and they do not fully overlap. A lot of excellent work is being done to show how this old system does match modern Western medical understanding of the human body.
Meridians are considered in Zen Shiatsu and acupuncture treatments for both diagnosis and treatment, such as through acupoints during acupuncture treatment. Kampo herbal medicine consultations consider the traditional East Asian medicine theory of the internal organs (which link to the meridians) but does not treat the meridians.
For more information, please see my article on meridian systems.

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.
-
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 the herbs have to be cooked?
No. Your herbs will be delivered in granule form, much like instant coffee. They are very easy to take and only require adding hot water.
-
What happens during my Zen Shiatsu session?
Every Zen Shiatsu session differs depending on the needs and issues of the client I am working with.
However, there are common phases that occur, which you can learn about by reading my article, “What to Expect During a Zen Shiatsu Treatment”.
