No, not at this time. However, I do provide receipts that you can submit to your extended benefits provider.

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.

I resonate strongly with both of my names, and use them interchangeably.

T’agyol is my Dharma name, which I received when I took Buddhist Precepts in the Korean Zen tradition. It means “Harmonizing of Opposites and Conflict Resolution”.

Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

If you do not provide at least 24 hours notice, or if you do not show up for your appointment, you will be charged the full amount of your scheduled treatment.

I value your business and appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

If we are working with a specific situation I will recommend a course of treatment and inform you when to rebook. If you are not experiencing a change after three sessions, we need to reassess and perhaps consider other approaches and/or practitioners.

If you are coming for health maintenance / vitality promotion the key is regularity, not frequency. In other words, it is better to come once a month than erratically. This allows us to develop a therapeutic regimen and relationship. If you wish to come more frequently (weekly, every two weeks) that is even better, but it must make sense to you.

With that said, I will always work with you where you are at, whether that means on a regular weekly schedule or once every few months or even years.

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.
