FAQ’s
• What should I bring to my appointment?
Depending on your treatment, you may or may not be required to remove items of clothing. For acupuncture, often rolling up pant legs and sleeves is all that is necessary. As Shiatsu does not employ any tools, oils or lotions the treatments are done fully clothed. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing, or something that one would wear to the gym or a yoga class is recommended for all treatments.
