FAQ

1: -Is Shiatsu massage covered by Insurance ?-

A) Shiatsu massage is not covered by MSP, but some private insurance companies might cover Shiatsu massage. Please ask your insurance company.

Insurance covers very limited therapy, so if you have tried all the therapies under your insurance coverage, yet you still haven't solved your problem, come and see us!

It's worth the money. I don't care about the insurance as long as it fixes me.  I am so lucky that I found you.

Please don't go anywhere, stay in Kelowna!!
