Questions

What people ask before their first visit.

Does the Amari Method take insurance, or can I use my HSA or FSA?+
We don't bill insurance directly, but we provide a superbill on request that you can submit for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA eligibility depends on your plan, so check with your administrator before booking.
How is the Amari Method different from physical therapy?+
Amari is a private, hands-on practice built around guided exploration. You are active throughout: moving, breathing, noticing, and trying precise changes with one-on-one guidance. It does not replace medically necessary care.
Does the Amari Method help with sciatica, a herniated disc, or TMJ and jaw clenching?+
Those are common reasons people explore Amari. The Assessment is a chance to experience the work and decide whether the practice is a fit. Severe, urgent, or medically concerning symptoms should be evaluated by an appropriate medical professional.
Where in San Francisco do you see clients?+
Private, hands-on sessions take place in San Francisco's Richmond District. Virtual sessions are also available for people who cannot attend in person. Exact directions come with your booking confirmation.
Is the Amari Method backed by science? Is it legit?+
Amari is a movement practice, not a medical treatment, and it does not promise a particular result. It works with position, leverage, breath, movement, and hands-on guidance. The Assessment lets you experience the process directly and decide whether it is useful for you.
What is the Living Practice program, and can I buy it on its own?+
Living Practice is a 53-lesson video program and visual reference for the Amari work. It can support an in-person practice or be purchased separately.
