Due to limitations of time, only healing treatments and not initial health consultations will be available during the retreat. If you would like to include a personal healing session as part of your Retreat experience, you need to arrange the time for Dr Mao to review your medical history, health challenges, goals and energetic status via his comprehensive initial consult before the retreat so he can respond most effectively with treatment targeting your special needs at your Healing session.
For New patients who have not seen Dr Mao previously, an online initial health consultation with Dr Mao needs to be scheduled, the Tao of Wellness clinic (TOW) initial intake forms filled out, payments made & session enacted all prior to the retreat (30 min online consultation, USD 175.- or current rate). Arrangements: TOW, Los Angeles, CA; +1 310-917-2200 opens 8am PST / 5pm CET, Tao of Wellness - Santa Monica
