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.
-
When is the best time to book acupuncture treatment?
I generally recommend acupuncture when you have an issue in an acute (sudden onset) or “flare-up” stage.
For example, if you have a history of headaches I would suggest you see me in-between headaches so we can work on the root causes of the issue. These sessions will also help to lessen the frequency of occurrence.
Of course, you can also choose to come see me while you are experiencing a headache (or before one is just about to start). In this case, I will offer acupuncture along with bodywork in order to effectively reduce and resolve the problem.
-
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.
-
Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?
Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.
-
How frequently do I take my prescribed herbs?
Your herbs are taken three times per day, every day, for the duration of your prescribed regimen.
-
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.
