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.

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.
-
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”.
-

There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).
You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.

Which public transit stations are near the clinic?
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.

What are meridian systems?
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.
