As a practitioner of Oriental Medicine, my greatest reward and joy is to help people feel better than they ever thought they could, to assist people in transforming their lives, improving their sense of well-being, and helping to empower patients by changing the way they understand their bodies and their health.  My goal as a practitioner is to not only treat symptoms successfully and have patients feel significantly better after each treatment, but also to explore why those symptoms may have manifested in the first place.  I address each patient's health issues from several levels by looking more deeply into the structural or constitutional imbalances, which often underlie a patient's symptomatic complaints, so that a deeper, more complete and lasting healing can take place. Ultimately, I hope to guide patients to a greater understanding of themselves through their health and to help them realize their full potential for health and wellness. 

My mission is to provide the highest quality Oriental Medicine possible to the people of Maui.  Towards this mission I have been on a quest for the most effective and authentic styles in the world of Oriental Medicine.  This quest has brought me to Taiwan, China, California and Boston, and I am excited to bring some of the the best practices in the world of Oriental Medicine to the people of Maui. 

In the realm of acupuncture, I found in my practice on Maui for two years, that Kiiko Style Acupuncture had the most profound, immediate and long-lasting results for my patients.  I therefore decided to journey to Boston to study directly with Kiiko Matsumoto, the world-renowned practitioner, in order to more completely learn her system and embody her style.  I am very excited to bring all the components of her continually evolving method of acupuncture to help deal with your most complex and deep-seated health issues.  Using her style, I am confident that I can treat and give the most profound and long-lasting results in issues such as:

• Chronic and acute pain
• Women's health and fertility
• Hormonal imbalance and endocrine disorders
• Digestive disorders
• Allergies and immune system imbalance
• Insomnia, anxiety, depression & emotional imbalances 
• Toxicity and overuse of medication
• Scars and post-operative complications
• Support for chemotherapy and cancer patients

I also supplement my treatments with Five Element Style Acupuncture, which can be useful to address more psycho-spiritual issues.  And I also use the standard Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach when appropriate, which is the style most commonly used by other acupuncturists. 

To further enhance my studies in Chinese herbal medicine, I traveled to Taiwan and worked alongside the Superintendent of the Taipei City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  There, we saw over a hundred patients a day with cases ranging from allergies and pediatric cases to serious cases of hepatitis and cancer, all of which I saw profound results that were backed by significant improvements in lab results as well as the patients’ symptoms and sense of well-being.  I have incorporated this extensive experience with herbal formulations into my practice and use the same high quality GMP standardized powdered herbs from Taiwan, which deliver the highest quality and efficacy with the lowest toxicity in Chinese herbal remedies. 



I also am proud to offer the lowest prices on Maui in dietary supplements from the leaders in the field such as New Chapter, who boast organic whole food supplements, Enzymatic Therapy, who is backed by extensive scientific research, the affordable and extensive product line of the award winning Now Foods, as well as several other high quality brands of dietary supplements and Chinese herbal formulations.  Check out their websites and I can get you any of their products for a discount from their retail value.  

I have been studing with world-renowned master, Dr. Bingkun Hu for over six years and earned a Teacher Certification from him to teach Wild Goose Qi Gong.  Wild Goose is a popular Medical Qi Gong practiced in China and all over the world and is known for its gentle and graceful movements and for its profound effects on the overall health and balance of the body by balancing qi (vital life source energy) in the meridians and energy centers of the body.  This style if Qi Gong is unique in the way that the student can very quickly advance to sophisticated and beneficial energy circulations such as the Microcosmic Orbit (MCO) in a very safe and easy to learn manner. The overall effect is a stronger more balanced mind, body and spirit through the harmonization of awareness, breathing and movement.  There is a feeling of profound peace and relaxation after doing this qigong and students will also notice greater flexibility, agility and an increase in energy and stamina both mentally and physically.
