They were so kind and gentle, and offered the perfect amount of support without pressuring you into doing anything you don't want.

Five months later my heart is still filled with joy just by looking at my son everyday, and my husband and I are so happy to have this little human in our life. I am grateful for my trauma-free birthing experience and I believe that helped make other things easier.

Doc Sarah is a FIND. I won't knock traditional medicine -…read morebut I do know, in my experience, it can be limited to medicating the symptoms without really examining the causes, and can feel like a patchwork of specialty folks who don't always see the whole picture. At Hilo Natural, I've found a practitioner with both a breadth and depth of experience in treating the whole human. Doc Sarah combines comprehensive lab work, lifestyle factors, supplements, and has been able to help me make progress with some thyroid and lab issues (and also more physio-related issues foot and shoulder pain) with a combination of nutrient support, medication, and interventions like prolon therapy (really helpful for chronic plantar fasciitis.) Also, she's really, really dang smart - and a compassionate guide thru what has been a difficult entry into my 40s. The office is run as a tight ship - which I realize is unusual for an area in which 'business hours' are often a loose approximation and the general standard of responsiveness and timeliness is WELL below average. Basically, you get San Francisco Bay Area level care, follow-up, and appointment management here - so if you are prone to the generally lackadaisical island approach to things, this may not be a fit. For those accustomed to a 'laid back approach' (read: not respectful of time and about a decade behind in innovation) - this place will come as a bit of a jolt. As someone who values innovation, results, responsiveness- and respects my own time and that of other people - this clinic is perfect as both my go-to for integrative treatment and as my PC doc. These folks won't keep you waiting or offer anything but the latest in education, utmost in professionalism and of-the-moment treatment- so return the favor and be on time, do your homework, and get results.

She said the company stopped making the B12 with 5L, so now the only way to get them was biying them separate, which was double the cost. After calling the company ( seeking health) and been told they have never stopped making these 2 supplements in one formula, and that was actually their best seller, I called her office to return the supplements and get my money back. Her secretary hanged up on me when I said she lied to me, and Dr Strong kicked me out of the office by email in response of my request for a refund. Ah, and when I asked the secretary what the 5L part of the supplement was, she rudely answered "Im not a doctor " What kind of customer service is this??

This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Sam went above and beyond to not only…read moreget to know me but to share local experiences with me while I was visiting. She checked in during my entire trip to see how I was doing. So let's talk about the actual Water Reiki! It was the most beautiful and soul seeking experience. She picked a beautiful ocean front in Hilo. There is always a potential for rain and she communicated that with me ahead of time. We were lucky and it was a gorgeous day. I walked up to a massage bed beautifully laid out with Sam's tools. I got comfortable and we discussed my goals. She had already made a handful of notes based on our earlier discussion and as to not give away all her magic, I will tell you my mind was blown with the gifts I received. We began our first session on land. Once completed, she moved me to a floating pad on the water. We were so lucky to have a Honu (turtle) share the water with us. Once our time there was complete, Sam and I chatted for quite some time and absorbed all the beauty we were in. We moved back to the land spot where she had a nice robe waiting for me to warm up in. We looked up my readings and I felt like she took so much care and extra time I could have spent all day with her. I look forward to making it a priority to have a treatment with Sam when visiting the Island. I recommend checking out their services it will be well worth your time and will absolutely enhance your experience in Hawaii.

I immediately did an intense research on the internet and all roads lead me to Dr Mary Umbrello in Kea'au. I called a friend and shared with her my reaearch and idea. We both decided to face this adventure together. It sounded right but I questioned if it would deliver. I couldn't wait to get rid of the constant stuffed feeling in my gut and to experience clarity again. I was excited and eager. After the cleanse, nothing could of prepared for what I experienced. I was totally drained of what little energy I already possessed. I didn't panic because I experienced this feeling several times and knew exactly what this was . . . DETOX! I couldn't function. Drove back to Kona and fell asleep . It wasn't till the next morning I felt the magic happen. My gut felt light , my brain and thoughts were connected. My energy level had improved and I was so grateful. Called my friend, discussed our results and decided to make an appointment with Dr Mary for a 10 day Hydroclinic cleanse. We knew we were on the right track to better health and this would be the foundation we needed to heal our bodies. I'm so excited and cannot wait to begin this new journey. Here's to a happier healthy life

I was looking for a naturopath Dr. I could trust. I found all that and more! on phone calls w/Dr. Mary, I learned about the 10 day cleanse, it was a choice that felt hopeful, leading me along on the right track. she was patient and kind with all my questions. with each speed bump, information and trust magnified. after our first colonic, confirmation came, this was the tip of the iceberg and made decisions clearer. I vomited that night after and knew it was working, I was cleaning out, hoping the antibiotics, toxins, etc. were exiting. There was more to clean, more to do and consistency grows. I enjoy transparency, I researched, and let my medical doctors know, including my physician assistant n specialists. I was pleasantly surprised and welcomed the green light, confirming my choice n safety. I knew this was a part of what I'd been preparing for all these decades. I was hopeful that this would allow me to continue to clean, assimilate and heal. This was a huge missing piece! No regrets! the journey continues, now with added confirmation of what I knew and additional strength, power and support I need to be more consistent in living my best life as I age! the possibility of getting better and best became more real! these last chapters of my life are a wonderful adventure! and, now We are forever friends and sisters as well!

I thought Kim was a skilled practitioner and I really loved my first treatment. However,…read morefor the 2nd & 3rd treatments, I had a very different experience. I felt she spent hardly any time with me, didn't read my pulses, put needles in, left then didn't come back for 20-25 mins when she had me turn over and put more needles in, then left again, with no questions of follow-up how I was doing, etc. She did do some short moxibustion treatment for 6 minutes at the end of the treatment. I think she can be a skilled acupuncturist, but for myself, I would prefer to have my practitioners be people who express more care and are more present with the treatment. If she was as consistent in her care for the other treatments as she was for the first one, I would leave a 5-star review. The last treatment was so deficient, that I left feeling pretty bad. I would rather spend my money on practitioners who sincerely work with more care about their patients.

Potentially racist encounter here. I would like a refund. Full experience below…read more I brought my bike up to the office and she insisted it wouldn't be stolen if I left it outside the door. She was so preoccupied about how much time this would take for me to find a bike rack downstairs due to "back to back" appointments. Why the f**k would I trust her word regarding the safety of my precious bike. After suggesting I come back another day, guilting me into "I drove here for you," and saying she called her next appointment to push to 9:40am (she did not since I was in front of her the whole time) ontop of me being desperate after a bad week, I suggested to put the bike inside her office which she agreed to. Looking back, I should've left because the purpose is to heal and how can I with this energy. And so begin the awkward convo about why I wanted acupuncture. She couldnt understand or pick up much of what I was saying due to lack of English so things I said I had to repeat or she didnt hear at all. Never go to a doctor that doesn't know your language fluently because then how are they supposed to treat you? Overall it was a quick 20-30 min acupuncture in a dark tight silent room. Shortest session I've ever had but she insisted "it's not about the time, it's about the results." Stayed on the table beyond my appointment time since she said her next appointment that she was preoccupied about "cancelled." She also mentioned right off the bat that she only accepted cash, which was not communicated when I booked the appt. The length of session was also not communicated prior. Anyways, if I had to run and go get cash, this would've been another reason she would've suggested "I come back another day." On top of that she didnt have full change so I get the vibe she was lying about the card machine not working...racism? Maybe but looking back on this, it seemed she was lying about many things and searching for any reason to not treat me. A waste of $75, but actually $77 since she didnt have enough change. Offered $2 off in next visit but I won't be returning. I would love a refund.
