Highly recommended! Contacted Flora initially for acupuncture trying to address a staph infection I had no idea how to treat.Even before our appointment Flora was already setting up a game plan in giving me ways to mediate the staph so it wouldn't spread until we met. She was really attentive and would call almost every other day to check up on progress which i appreciated very much. I appreciated Flora's honesty. After a brief look to my case, the staph was worse than what she could help me at the moment. Flora helped in ways that she has skills in but was also honest enough to refer me out for the apropiate help rather than to try and oversell me products/services like others have. Acupuncture session was bomb. Helped me to chill a bit since my body was feeling out of wack from this infection. Flora is attentive, flexible, informative and does her best to help you address your problem. She even hooked it up by cooking up some of her home made VItamin C ( and met me half way from my location for pick up!) which also helped with the recovery of the staph infection. Flora is one of kind. Its hard to find people who care about how they help others. read more

I'm glad I waited to post my review. During the session she was telling me that she was going to get things moving for me since my lymphatic system was sluggish. I listened, but was skeptical. The next day I was sore but felt better. By the third day, I felt like the pain/irritation had moved from it's original position and was less intense. After returning home, I have noticed that I am shredding fat without changing my diet and or physical activity. I am already down 15 pounds and my bloating/inflammation is leaving my body. Not quite sure what she did, but am extremely grateful and wish I had her here in Arizona to see on a routine basis. She is simply amazing. She turned this skeptic into a believer. read more

Man! at 64 i feel i am in pretty good shape, physically, mentally, spiritually... NOT! Flora has not only improved my health in a couple of visits but, she has educated me to a whole new world of personal care. she makes it so simple to do. if you want good health, she can open the door. i am so stoked because i have gone to acupuncturists before and never walked away feeling any better or that i knew any more about it than when i arrived. this is going to be an ongoing relationship of meaningful education and health. i am just impressed how she pays attention and STILL does research! go where you like but, if you want results, don't look any further! aloha!!! read more

This was my first experience with acupuncture. Flora was not only very welcoming and professional but made sure to have great communication through the entire service. I felt so relaxed, as if all my stress had been taken away by the end of the session. This was such an amazing new experience for me and I would recommend Dakine Hands Acupuncture to everyone I know who may be in some pain or have other issues etc. I had no idea this was such an effective treatment. I went in for an injury I obtained while hiking on my vacation here, the next day I received Floras treatment and have no more existing pain in my right leg. Beautiful experience! read more

Great treatment, got rid of "stuff" lingering for ages and now my cravings are gone. Flora is wonderfully gently with the needles and amazingly instinctive where they need to go. Great initial consult but I needed something else done and she got that when I got on the table. My digestion cleared up, my energy came back and my cravings are gone and loosing some extra lbs. Yeah. Her treatment got me back on track and I'm staying there! Thanks so much Flora! You made it so comfortable. Really appreciated your wisdom and experience on all things healthy. Incredible. I've had treatments before but she was excellent. Hope others find you :) read more

Flora is a professional and gifted acupuncturist. She incorporates variety of techniques and is truly invested in finding out what is out of balance in your body. You can see her passion for what she does as she asks questions for the purpose of zeroing in on what is going on in your body. Even after our session together, she keeps investigating to ensure she is precise in her diagnosis and following treatment. I have used acupuncture for many years, moving here in the last few years it is a real pleasure to find her. I highly recommend her to those I know. read more

Flora is AMAZING! After hiking the Kalalau trail, I had swollen knees, a sinus infection, and a migraine. (Small price to pay for a "beyond words" experience!!!!!!) Flora was a caring, consummate professional. By the end of the session, my migraine was almost gone, sinus pressure greatly reduced, and swelling in my knees reduced by @ 50% (mixture of acupuncture and an herbal topical remedy) by the following morning. Flora's bedside manner and prowess were also impeccable. If I didn't live in Oahu, I would be a regular. She is a real gift in Kauai!! read more

If I could give Flora 10 stars, I would! Best acupuncture I have ever had. I have a heavy health profile and Flora continues to go above and beyond to get to the bottom of my condition. I have seen countless doctors and numerous specialists and none of them have been so in tune with my body like Flora. She taught me breathing techniques and exercises to help me when having to travel off the island. She is focused, super knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend Dakine Hands Acupuncture. read more

What a gift to find Flora and DaKine Hands Acupuncture for my first acupuncture experience! Flora has a personalized, holistic approach and incredible positive and calming energy. My personalized experience included an overall assessment then a meditation, acupuncture and suggested herbal supplements and diet. I felt wonderful following a single 90 minute session and still feel the positive effects days later. I highly recommend seeing Flora and cannot wait for my return to Kauai to see her again. read more

My first introduction to acupuncture exceeded my expectations :-) Thank you Flora. I really am grateful for your sharing of expert advise on our initial discussion and evaluation.

Flora is a gentle soul that has an incredible depth of knowledge coupled with a gentle and mindful touch. My session was both calming and centering and I felt like I was on Cloud 9 for the rest of the day. The symptoms I was having were greatly reduced after the session and she even gave me tips and movements to use when I got home. If I wasn't living on the mainland, I would see her every week! I highly recommend Flora to both new and experienced patients. read more

She has a super sweet and nurturing yet confident and powerful energy and presence about her. And she is very knowledgeable about herbs, foods and other things to add to your healing journey. Highly recommend her! You won't be disappointed. read more

I have had many treatments from Flora and would highly recommend her! She has helped me with old injuries, stress, digestive problems, headaches, and more. I have a needle phobia and thought I wouldn't like acupuncture because of it. Flora's gentle touch and professional manner made me completely comfortable. She is very calming and intuitive. Flora is a true healer and I would like to recommend her to everyone! read more

She is creative in approach and really focused on you getting better in the practical way. Her treatments helped me to access 30 years of chronic conditions layer by layer. She knows what she is doing and feeling the positive results as I walk out from the appointment and the freedom in body lasts very long time after is just amazing. I look forward to keep working with her. read more

I give Flora 5 stars, because i woke up pain free today! I booked a treament yesturday because of a shoulder injury and a busted up toe. She placed the needles in me and worked my trigger points. I relaxed into a deep sleep and did not even feel any needles. She really knows the art of acupuncture. It was a very profesional atmosphere, and I highly recomend her practice. read more

My shoulder pain was horrible and Flora was such a wonderful help to me. Kind, knowledgable, concerned, compassionate. She gives tips on stretches and movements to rehab the afflicted area. You should feel completely confident in contacting Flora when you need acupuncture, cupping, or even a discussion about health options while in Kauai. Mahalo! read more

I saw Flora years ago for my first ever acupuncture visit. I was floored and so impressed by her detail and intuition regarding my health. She was attentive and helped me figure out a few long term issues I had been dealing with. Flora offers honest and thorough care and I would happily recommend her to any one new or familiar with Chinese medicine. read more

I have received several Acupuncture treatments from Flora in the last 6 months and find her work to be exquisitely healing every time.
