Can I explore herbal medicine on my own?
I strongly discourage exploring herbal medicine without professional input.
In order to determine which herbs are best for your needs, I will inquire about your ailment and your lifestyle to better understand your body as a whole.
The formulas and herbs discussed in our sessions are part of a much larger system. They may be appropriate for certain individuals who suffer from the conditions described, but are not necessarily the best choice for everyone in that situation.

What are the differences between Kampo and other forms of herbal medicine?
To learn about the differences between Kampo, Japanese herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, please read my comparison article.

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.
-
Do I need to talk during my treatment?
No. You will be asked questions about your condition during your assessment, before the treatment begins. Talking is kept to a minimum during treatment, unless you have something to discuss, or if I need more information and clarification.
It is important to note, however, that when working with the physical body during a Zen Shiatsu treatment, it is not uncommon for a client to feel emotions arise during a session. By using gentle, sensitive, and aware touch, I am also connecting with the energetic, mental, and emotional aspects of your being, which can be affected.
-
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.
-
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.
