Your Treatment Options

The traditional East Asian medicine treatments I offer have been used for centuries. Like all forms of medicine, TEAM is constantly evolving, developing, and improving.

  • Kampo Herbal Medicine

    Kampo herbal medicine is a traditional Japanese system that uses natural plant-based remedies to promote health, support specific health concerns, and maintain overall well-being.

    Zen Shiatsu massage uses finger, hand, elbow, foot, and knee pressure to improve energy flow and bring balance to the body. It can reduce stress, assist with rehab, and promote wellness.

    Whether you are seeking relief from acute or chronic pain or wish to relax and unwind, acupuncture combined with Zen Shiatsu can be an effective and enjoyable complement to your self-care routine.

  • What are the differences between Kampo and other forms of herbal medicine?

    To learn about the differences between Kampo, Japanese herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, please read my comparison article.

  • Can I explore herbal medicine on my own?

    I strongly discourage exploring herbal medicine without professional input.

    In order to determine which herbs are best for your needs, I will inquire about your ailment and your lifestyle to better understand your body as a whole.

    The formulas and herbs discussed in our sessions are part of a much larger system. They may be appropriate for certain individuals who suffer from the conditions described, but are not necessarily the best choice for everyone in that situation.

  • Can herbal medicine help with my menstruation issues?

    Yes! When working with women with menstrual concerns, fertility, and other gynaecological issues, it is not uncommon to prescribe three or four formulas to be taken at different stages of your cycle.

    See more information about herbal medicine and menstruation here.

  • How many Zen Shiatsu sessions do I need?

    It all depends on you. I often get good results after one session, however, it usually takes a series of three to see a strong shift in condition.

    It is important to remember though that as some conditions take a long time to develop, equally so it can take a corresponding amount of time to undo.

    I have some clients that have been seeing me for years to maintain their zone level and enjoy a full quality of life, no matter their age or ailments.

  • What happens during a herbal consultation?

    Herbal consultations involve many questions plus tongue, pulse, and abdominal assessment to arrive at a remedy. Your initial consultation lasts 75 minutes, and follow-up sessions are 1 hour.
