I've met some of my closest friends here who are people I will cherish forever. The property is stunning, management and the program director are some of the best people i've ever met.

Dr. Anita Johnson bring life changing ways of thinking about tackling an eating disorder and has influenced my recovery so very much. Thank you to everyone at Ai Pono I will always be infinitely grateful for this center.

I want to begin by saying that I do not believe this is a bad place in any way. In fact, this has…read morebeen the most helpful place I've ever experienced. The staff here are among the kindest, most supportive people I've met. They were always willing to help, no matter the situation. I truly believe my experience does not reflect the staff as a whole. Today, I was administratively discharged. While I won't go into all the details due to the ongoing investigation, I need to express that I was deeply hurt by how one individual handled the situation. My concern lies not with the staff who work directly with residents--they were amazing--but with the higher-ups, particularly the director. I take full responsibility for my actions and acknowledge that there were aspects of the situation I could have handled better. However, I was told that my discharge stemmed from an "accusation" rather than the actual facts of the situation, which made me feel that the staff member's negligence wasn't adequately considered in the decision-making process. This left me feeling like the situation was handled unfairly. I'm not angry with the staff member whose actions contributed to the situation. I genuinely believe they acted with the best of intentions, even though there was miscommunication and misunderstandings. But during this ordeal, I was in shock and panic, and response I was given was completely unempathetic. She accused me of being untruthful, gave conflicting information to my parents, and took a very black-and-white approach to a situation that was far more complex. Her handling felt disorganized and dismissive, and I felt abandoned by leadership when I needed clarity, empathy, and support the most. One of the most disappointing aspects of this experience was the lack of transitional support. The higher-ups offered no assistance during my transition out of the program, leaving me feeling unsupported and unsure of what to do next. This program should have had a clear plan in place to help residents transition out in such difficult situations, but unfortunately, that was not the case. Despite everything, I cannot emphasize enough how incredible the rest of the staff were. They felt more like a family than an organization. For example, one staff member sat with me helping me make goodbye bracelets, providing emotional support during such a vulnerable moment. Another helped me pack up my things, offering both physical and emotional assistance. These acts of kindness meant the world to me. Luana, the head nurse, I will always love her she's --straightforward, professional, and always there when I needed support. Jesse, despite some misunderstandings, showed me compassion and understanding. Alexis, Emma, Lauren, and so many others consistently went ABOVE and BEYOND to offer me both emotional and physical support. The impact these staff members had on me is beyond words. They made me feel seen, heard, and truly cared for, and that support has been life-changing. Their empathy and kindness will always remain in my heart. Throughout my time here, I have grown and healed significantly, thanks to the amazing staff. My discharge doesn't change the fact that this program is full of caring, capable people who genuinely want to help others. Unfortunately, one person's actions overshadowed the incredible work done by everyone else here. The way the leadership handled this incident, combined with the lack of support during my transition, is an issue that needs to be addressed. I'm currently working on connecting with a therapist, since the higher-ups didn't offer me support in transitioning out of the program. But despite this, I'm incredibly grateful to the staff who stood by me and helped me through this difficult time. This program is extraordinary, and the people here are truly life-changing. I just hope that this experience can lead to positive changes, in leadership, so that future residents can receive the same level of care from leadership that I received from the all of the amazing staff and people who never gave up on me , thank you .

I've known Sally for a while now and can honestly, whole-heartedly, unabashedly say she's one of my…read morefavorite people on the planet. In fact, on some days, she's my favorite person on the planet. Sally is a Reiki practitioner as well as a nutritionist, and I have to admit that I wasn't sure I even believed in Reiki but I was very willing to explore it. Though I originally went to her for a nutritional consultation, we actually ended up skipping that part (after an introductory discussion) and going right to the energy work (the equivalent of treating a disease instead of just the symptoms). Sally's gift is in clarifying the cycle of your thoughts, actions, and energy. What makes her exceptional is her own energy and supremely compassionate approach. It's not hard to describe what a typical Reiki session is like (if anyone is curious), but I'm guessing the overall experience/outcome is really different for every individual. For me, I leave with a greater sense of clarity and peace that makes every day going forward easier. Sally is a true healer and, with every visit, I feel a little more complete, fulfilled, and capable of living a happy, satisfied life. Cool, hunh?

Sally is so great! I use her more for energy work - not…read morenutritional counseling- but I know someone who has used her for nutritional counseling with fantastic results. Her energy work is great. She's a wonderful, caring person. I always leave feeling amazing. Here's a review from the person I mentioned above, who has had great success with her on the nutritional/energy side of things: "Whether you are seeking supportive nutritional counseling or soothing, effective Reiki energy work, you will leave your visit on "Cloud 9" in a very calm, peaceful state and surprisingly energized at the same time. For those who are overworked, overstressed, and overweight, like me, I would strongly recommend you try both nutritional counseling and energy work in one long session. In lieu of pushing fad diets and exercise regimens, Sally works with each client individually to find their own unique path and rhythm which motivates each client to move towards a more healthy and sustainable life they envision for themselves. She is not my drill sergeant (though if that works for you I am sure she would accommodate you). For me, she has become the little voice in my head that helps me make better choices in my life: "take the stairs, Jen, it will make you feel good" and "pizza for dinner would taste REALLY good, but remember how yucky you feel afterwards?". Losing weight and making healthier choices for myself are big benefits, but there is so much more to her work. My life is truly expanding and unfolding, thanks to my sessions with Sally."

I started seeing her to help heal from a traumatic car accident (are there any other kind?), and stayed on with her when I realized she was helping me heal other parts of myself. I've really grown in positive ways the past year and a half thanks to her help, and have been able to release some old hurts and start undoing negative modes of thinking. She has a very relaxed style, and her specialization seems to be working with creative folks (and folks who want to tap into their creativity). I've had other therapists before, and she truly is the best I've encountered. This is a woman who loves what she does, and it shows.

She had the patience and insight to get to the core issues with ease and gentleness. Her goal is to completely clear out blocks, not just do a light sweep. She is able to provide a degree of loving Presence that opens space for whatever is in the moment while simultaneously discerning how to guide. I could feel very old parts of myself, stuff from childhood, being brought to the surface and reworked in a completely new way, so that I can integrate and love ALL of myself. I look forward to continuing work with her and moving beyond my past into the me who I know I can be. My very best Self, with more creativity and love than I ever thought possible.

She knew exactly what the underlying causes of my 30 yearlong battle with chronic pain was stemming from and how to move that stagnant energy out.

After many years of seeing doctors and chiropractors, I was never able to attain this level of relief and healing until I saw Denise. In one session, I significantly released years of built up tension and after just a few sessions, have felt almost complete liberation from this pain.
