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.
-
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.
-
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.

Where can I park during my treatment?
There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).

What are the principles of traditional East Asian medicine?
Practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) view the body as a unified and connected whole, utilizing different world views that include Ki / Qi, Yin and Yang, and meridians.
TEAM practitioners, like myself, acknowledge and understand that a) there are other approaches to health and healing that developed prior to modern/Western medical understanding, and b) that these approaches were and are still effective and relevant.
