Individual sessions, each offered on its own.
Patients work with Dr. Bastian in one of three ways: a single session, a course of sessions, or as members of the 4 Pillar Program. Each of the sessions below is also available inside The Somatic Shen Method and The 4 Pillar Monthly Program.
A full TCM session.
Sixty minutes. Intake, pulse and tongue diagnosis, needle treatment. Moxibustion and fire cupping offered where indicated. Patients leave with a written summary and, if prescribed, a formula fulfilled through the dispensary.
Acupuncture is the foundation of the practice. Most patients begin here.
Common reasons patients book this session: chronic pain, neck and shoulder tension, headaches, sleep disruption, digestive irregularity, menstrual pain, perimenopausal symptoms, stress-pattern anxiety, low energy, long-Covid symptoms.
Note: acupuncture is clinical medicine, not a promise of specific outcomes. Response varies by condition and by patient. Bill will tell you, candidly, at the first visit whether the practice is likely to help.
A structured one-on-one breathing session.
Sixty minutes. A clinical breathwork session — one patient, one practitioner, one protocol chosen at the start of the session based on where the patient is that day. Common uses: nervous-system regulation, grief work, chronic holding patterns in the diaphragm and upper chest, panic-pattern anxiety.
Breathwork here is not a group class. It is a prescribed protocol, done quietly, in the treatment room.
Forty-five minutes, one-on-one.
A clinical meditation session tailored to the patient's current state. Often prescribed alongside acupuncture — especially for patients whose primary complaint involves sleep, rumination, or overactive-sympathetic patterns.
The session is quiet. Bill guides, the patient receives. No mantras, no chanting, no prescribed spiritual framework.
The Somatic Shen Method.
A ninety-minute integration of all three of the above, plus somatic release. This is the work Bill is known for.
The 4 Pillar Monthly Program.
A monthly membership for patients who want to work together over time rather than session-by-session. Best for chronic conditions that respond to consistency.
Prescribed herbal formulas, fulfilled through Fullscript.
When a formula is indicated, Bill prescribes it and the patient fulfils through the house dispensary on Fullscript. Access is reserved for active patients.
