My husband and I were recently vacationing in Kauai with our young adult daughter who threw her back out. While Flora was not able to see our daughter same day, she got back to me immediately with recommendations and resources to help relieve the pain. So appreciated her quick follow up and generous suggestions that helped our daughter. Thank you! read more

I did the research and compared Flora's experience, price and availability and cross checked it with my gut intuition and I am glad that I selected Flora. I saw her for my allergies which were acting up one week into a month long vacation to Kauai. I was extremely congested. Having been very ill in the previous year with initial symptoms that are similar to what I was experiencing, I couldn't chance it. I needed to try something different at the onset of these symptoms. Flora explained everything she did, each step of the way. She had even purchased herbs for me to alleviate my symptoms and also prevent future illness. Not only were my symptoms lessened upon leaving, but I woke up the next day after following all of her advice, feeling significantly improved. I particularly loved her tailor made wellness game plan she drafted up for me. A few days later, my husband and I both had a sore throats and started immediately on some Chinese herbs she recommended for staving off illness. We feel better after day one of a three day course of herbs. I appreciate Flora's style, demeanor and professionalism. Not only will I seek her out the next time I am on the island, but I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. I was extremely hesitant to make the call, spend the time and the money to do acupuncture. I'm so glad I tried something different and met Flora. Don't waste another minute in discomfort. You and your health are worth the investment in time and money. read more

90 minutes with Flora was amazing-both physically and spiritually. She takes a very holistic approach to treating and helping people. Also, she goes well beyond just basic treatment--there is real discussion about the root of what is causing issues. Flora is not only knowledgeable and progressive in her practice but a warm and positive person. I hope to see Flora again for another treatment the next time I return to Kauai. read more

I feel quite fortunate to have found Flora while vacationing​ here in Kauai. She managed to fit me in twice. I have been seeing highly experience acupuncturists on the east coast for nearly 20 years, and I can say that Flora is quite a talented and natural practitioner​ as well as an amazing detective when it comes to figuring out your path to recovery. She listens fully and carefully to what you tell her about your symptoms. She looks at your tongue and feels your pulses. She asks questions: interesting ones too! She can put puzzle pieces together to create a whole picture of what's going right and what's out-of-whack so that she can help you discover the direction to healing. I was suffering from a Bladder Pain Syndrome or IC flare up. I had already gone to the Urgent Care Center thinking it might be a UTI. It was not. Flora was able to offer relief in the first session with her. I'm grateful for that! read more

My situation was unique but worth mentioning. Where do you go if you are on vacation and in pain? My flight to Kauai worsened my already herniated disc. My neighbor recommended Flora, who managed to squeeze me in her schedule quickly. I saw her twice. She has Incredible deep knowledge and experience and is an infinitely caring person. She helped me manage the pain, get sleep, walk easier before I had to fly home. Highly recommend. read more

Flora is the best! I was suffering from sciatica and allergies, and after only one session, I am feeling so much better. She asked all the right questions and determined the best course for me holistically--physically, dietarily and herbal supplements, to deal with all issues. read more

I have had multiple acupuncture and cupping sessions with Dr. Flora. She is very knowledgeable and professional and kind. When I first showed up to her I can barely raise my right arm over my head due to past injuries. I have since regained 90+% in the use of my arm and shoulder. The cupping is absolutely phenomenal on how much pain and toxins can be released out of the body. I suffer from migraines, headaches, and pinch points all over my back. Every session removes a little more and a little more. Haven't felt as good as I do in almost 10 years. I recommend Dr. Flora to anyone that has the chance to go and see her. 110% read more

Flora is a unique individual who knows and understands the human body. Within minutes, she was able to locate a problem area in my upper back that I've had for years. She targeted this area and I could feel the tension completely disappear. Flora is definitely someone I would recommend! read more

This was my first experience with acupuncture. I fell from a ladder and broke 3 ribs. I first went to the emergency room and stayed in the hospital for 4 days. After getting released, I still had pressure in the rib area so I went to Dr Freeauf and through acupuncture the pressure was relieved and my breathing returned to normal. She did a fantastic job.

Flora is amazing! We are novice to Acupuncture. Decided to try while on vacation in Kaui. What an extraordinary experience. She knows her craft and is so thoughtful in trying to figure out what is the best approach to individual needs. Actually it is better to define what she does as Eastern Medicine and Acupuncture is one component to how she addressees what your body needs. We await results from her work but are confident that we have added a new strategy to better health. Janice read more

Flora is amazing at what she does and is truly an incredible human being. I had very painful back pain that I've had before that took a long time to heal in the past that she miraculously healed in 1 session. I called her on short notice and she got me in the same day. She really takes the time to help with your specific care and your needs. She was so patient and understanding and was so knowledgeable to what was going on and why and makes you feel comfortable through the whole session. Her energy is amazing and truly wants to help you. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, she really does have the magic touch and healing to spread. Thank you so much Flora for your healing. read more

Such an awesome experience. I have never had acupuncture​ like that before and cannot wait to come back to Kauai to have another session with Flora. Flora is an absolute professional​ and her passion for healing is inspiring. She knows her craft in a way that only real specialist can. Exhibiting her skill in a calm and collected manner, providing a relaxing and unique experience. I have had on and off shoulder issues for the past several years, and one session with Flora ​was enough for me to believe in the power of acupuncture​. Just remember to take it easy the days following your meeting, you will be exhausted!​ read more

Flora is very gifted in what she does and has a way of making you feel comfortable and at ease when she is treating you. I have had lower back pain for over 10 years. I have tried everything from surgery, physical therapy, nerve blocking, pain management programs and other things but nothing has ever really worked. Since I have been getting treated by Flora I have felt a difference and am able to honestly say that her skills and ability are the reason I have seen improvement in my lower back pain. Flora is very well educated in her medical field and has a true passion for what she does. If you are looking for a very talented acupuncturist that can give you positive results I would recommend not looking any further and book your appointment with Flora as soon as possible. read more

I recently received Acupuncture from Flora. I was comforted and assured I was in the right place at the right time when I was greeted by Flora at her Accupunture studio. I liked how she asked questions and got to know me before she worked on my body. There is a wonderful balance of professionalism and genuine caring that Flora provides. Graciously, Kellie Barrow read more

The symptoms I had been experiencing were so much better the next day. She will be my go-to acupuncturist in the future, thank you Flora! read more

I was so surprised how much she knew, and was shocked at how quickly I was fixed! (Yeah- I said fixed). I came in for a pinched nerve and not only was she able to fix that up Quick- but she also was able to help me with my exhaustion. I will definitely be back and tell my friends. Also- she gives a great facial! read more

Flora is not only a great soul but also an excellent acupuncturist. I went in to her Studio looking for a naturopath to help me with a broken toe, and Flora offered to assist with great generosity. She gave me a mini session to prepare for getting it reset; she focused on the different meridian points and alleviated the pain and discomfort. She also followed up a few days later to see how I was doing. After only being on the island for a week, It's comforting to know that there are still kind hearted people willing to help! Im sure I'll be back to her for future sessions. I'm very grateful. Mahalo read more

I was on vacation and was suffering from back and neck problems from a car accident. I was looking for a standard "massage" but thought I would try something different. Flora performed some Trigger Point Needling, acupuncture and Cupping. She was very interested in addressing specific areas and really took her time with me. I felt so much better when I was done and instantly had better range of motion in my neck. That night, I had such a great night's sleep! She was great :) read more

Back issues had been plaguing me for days. Having tried the usual methods to obtain relief with varying degrees of success I decided it was time I gave acupuncture a try. I was able to get an appointment with Flora on short notice and I can honestly tell you within the first 15 minutes of my session I was literally pain free. Flora is very much in tune with her healing techniques. She is definitely a master in her field. I woke up the next day basically healed and now i'm a proponent for acupuncture. I will be going back to see her on a regular basis to rid myself of some root issues that seem to be the underlying problems of my nagging pain. I'm excited to see what lies ahead for me. I'd highly recommend her if you're looking for an alternative to the norm when it comes to healing yourself. read more

I was fortunate enough to get a session with Flora when I was visiting Kauai this year - she really takes the time to listen to your specific issues and does an incredible job of coming up with an effective treatment plan.

I left feeling great and wishing I was on the island longer so I could have had another session! read more

During my recent 2 wk holiday in Kauai I contacted Flora for help with a recovery of my ACL/MCL/Meniscus and lower back pain that stemmed from the recent accident to my knee. I am very active always outside doing ocean sports, hiking etc .. on land and my mobility has been limited do to pain from my accident (ACL,MCL, Meniscus) .. .. I had tried every option from traditional medicine with limited success....Flora provided much needed nurturing and care to my knee by applying Acupunture and other methods which in a short period of time has increased my flexibility in my injured knee and eliminated back pain caused by knee injury .. Flora also prescribed several medicines to continue my rehab and improve my overall health.. The Qi Balm in particular has been very soothing and has helped with increased flexibility to my knee. It was a blessing and highlight of my trip meeting Flora and I was able to take new knowledge she shared with me back to the mainland to continue the therapy. I highly recommend seeing Flora for just a basic a health assessment or if you have a particular ailment for her to focus on. Thank you Flora...Mahalo read more

Flora was right on point! She identified what adjustments I needed and they worked almost instantaneously within a week of me making even small changes in my diet. My diet wasn't bad but for my body which isn't producing enough blood- there were adjustments such as grains in my diet that needed to be changed. This made such a difference in a short amount of time! She has a beautiful energy that allows you to relax and receive the full benefit of the services she provides. I was just there on vacation but she showed me she is truly interested in my health moving forward. Thank you Flora! read more

OMG Flora was amazing! Very knowledgeable and patient which is key to acupuncture otherwise it's a waste of time. On vacation and my sciatica was giving me severe constant pain. I didn't want to get a massage at the hotel I wanted someone who knew what they were doing to give me relief. She did just that! She came to my hotel room which was probably the best thing you can ask for when on vacation. I highly recommend Flora. read more

I had an very relaxing and rejuvenating session with Flora at Dakine Hands Acupuncture in Kilauea- just what I needed on my honeymoon! My session started with reflexology foot massage and finished with auricular massage or massage of the outer ear. The whole body can be accessed from the outer ear, which can be very therapeutic. I am so thankful Flora was able to fit me in for a session. I floated out of the office feeling relaxed and refreshed. Thank you! It is amazing how reflexology of hands and feet can have such profound effects on the mind and body. read more
