In my practice I work with individuals seeking alternative medicine options to facilitate self-healing and to overcome illness and disease.
As a TEAM practitioner I use herbal remedies and the techniques of Zen Shiatsu bodywork and acupuncture to help you restore balance and harmony to your body and mind.

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. -

Is acupuncture always combined with bodywork?
Yes. At Daniel Adler Clinic I always combine acupuncture with Zen Shiatsu bodywork for a more holistic and beneficial experience.
The bodywork I administer facilitates the healing process, giving you a more comprehensive treatment during your session.
-
How frequently should I book Zen Shiatsu treatments?
Ideally you would choose to receive Zen Shiatsu treatment regularly, whether it be every week, every second week, or once a month. This sort of preventative approach maintains health and vitality (maintains the green zone) and stops problems from creeping into the orange zone or becoming red.

-
Are you able to help me if I’m in the “red” pain zone?
Yes. In fact, most of my clients seek treatment when they are in the “red zone”. This happens either when a problem has just occurred or they have been living with and enduring it until it has become overwhelmingly difficult.
Ideally, however, when there is a specific problem you should book treatment when you are in the “early orange zone”. This will make it easier to return to the green zone.

-
Can herbal medicine help with my menstruation issues?
Yes! When working with women with menstrual concerns, fertility, and other gynaecological issues, it is not uncommon to prescribe three or four formulas to be taken at different stages of your cycle.
See more information about herbal medicine and menstruation here.
-
What are acupuncture needles like?
Acupuncture needles are very thin, and rarely cause any discomfort. The needles used at Daniel Adler Clinic are made of stainless steel, and are single-use/disposable.
-
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.
