APPOINTMENTS
To prepare for your Zen shiatsu appointment:
Bring or wear:
clean SOCKS, a long-sleeved lightweight shirt, lightweight pants (no jeans, no shorts, no skirts).
Bring your own water bottle.
Refrain from wearing colognes or heavy scents.
If you have an elevated temperature, or are not feeling well, please call the office asap to reschedule. No show/no call appointments will be charged full appointment fee.
What to expect at your Zen shiatsu appointment:
- Masks are recommended, but not required.
- Each session is designed to address your current state of health, the symptoms you are experiencing, your constitution and general energy levels. A variety of Asian Bodywork therapy techniques may be used. These might include gentle holding; pressing with palms, thumbs, and fingers on the meridians; and, when appropriate, more dynamic rotations and stretches.
- Additional tools and techniques may be used, as appropriate. These can include cupping, guasha, moxibustion, teishin, and tuina.
- Your appointment may include home care recommendations.
How to pay for your appointment:
- The standard fee, $150/hr, is intended for those with stable incomes and the ability to save. Your ability to support at this rate or more allows Heart of Zen to offer sliding scale options. You are always welcome to pay more than the standard fee.
- Sliding scale option takes into account your financial situation and circumstances. Paying less is intended for students, and others who are getting by but don’t have much extra in their budget.
- If you have an elevated temperature, or are not feeling well, please call the office asap to reschedule your appointment. No show/no call appointments will be charged full appointment fee.
- We accept cash, check, and Venmo payments. Cash is preferred.
