Details about your session choices and the fees associated with my treatments.
Herbal Medicine Rates
I practice in the Japanese herbal tradition known as Kampo. Kampo is known for its direct and targeted approach to finding the appropriate remedy for your situation.

Initial Herbal Consultation
$125 / 75 minutesYour initial herbal consultation includes a comprehensive intake period and hands-on abdominal, tongue, and pulse assessments to arrive at the appropriate herbal remedy for your condition.
A complementary 15 minute follow-up is included, and booked two weeks after you start your formula. This allows me to check the effect of the formula and to see if we are on the right track or need to reassess. I will look your tongue tongue, take your pulse, feel your abdomen, and ask basic questions about the chief complaint.
Note: herbs are not included in the price of herbal consultations.

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.
-
Do I call you Daniel or T’agyol? What does T’agyol mean?
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”.
