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.

What is your cancellation policy?
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.

How often should I schedule treatments?
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.
-
What should I wear during my treatment?
This is ultimately up to you, though please do not wear jeans during your treatment.
Some people like to wear loose-fitting clothing, like track pants or shorts and a t-shirt. Others strip to their underwear and choose to be draped with a sheet.
-
Will my extended benefits cover your services?
It depends on the specific extended health benefits plan that you have. Some extended health benefits plans cover traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners, while others do not. Some plans cover all of my services, others cover only some, for example acupuncture but not herbal medicine.
It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider to find out what is covered under your specific plan.
