I have since done multiple acupuncture as well as chiropractic sessions in the Botanicalal Spa. Everytime I leave rejuvenated and more healed than before. The space itself is so relaxing and the healers are so experienced, intuitive and kind. I am so grateful to have met Wanda and Dr Kent and to have a holistic view of my injury rather than just giving me medicine as my PCP wanted to do. After months of pain I can honestly say I am finally starting to feel better in both my mind and spirit. I am so happy my friend referred me to the Saltay Botanical Spa and I will be telling all my friends to come as well .

My hair went down to my waist. I've been growing it out for 20 years. It's very special to me other places wanted to just shave my head, but Natalie and Dayna didn't give up on me. They spent nine hours straight combing out as much as they could to save some hair. They were kind and caring and actually a lot of fun while a part of my identity had to be cut off. Natalie was so patient and didn't give up. They did a great job and I actually feel beautiful and free now. They are incredible and I will be going back again for any hair hopefully nonemergencies but to be with such special ladies and just to get my hair done.

Not only does she put her whole being into her work, but she adds so much positivity to the overall experience due to her kindness, energetic spirit, and work ethic. It was a rigorous shoot and she went the whole distance with me. It was SUCH a joy and a blast to have her there, and honestly I don't think the final product would have been the same without her. I was/am in awe of her makeup and tanning skills, and plan to use her any and every time that I can. If you are coming to Kauai and need a makeup artist for an event, trust me when I say you would be so lucky to have this woman :) Thank you, Kaija!

She did my hair and makeup and my daughter's hair, and we both looked flawless. I fully trusted her expertise and only asked that she keep my bangs out of my face -- she nailed it and gave me the most beautiful, soft waves. She is so gentle that I literally fell asleep sitting up while she was doing my hair -- that's how relaxing the experience was. She traveled to our condo, arrived exactly on time, and was such a joy to work with. Professional, incredibly talented, and calming to be around. I felt confident, polished, and completely photo-ready, and my daughter looked beautiful too. I can't recommend Cassidy enough -- whether you're booking her for a wedding, elopement, or family photos anywhere on the Hawaiʻi islands, you will not be disappointed!

After a week on the island, my allergies started acting up. Afraid it would worsen and turn into a…read moresinus infection which happens regularly to me on the mainland, I sought help. After comparing acupuncturists on the island, based on experience, gut, price and availability, I decided on Flora. Her experience does not come inexpensively, but it was worth it. I had a bizarre illness the previous year that started similarly and had me out for 8 weeks. This time around, it was crucial to treat the problem in a different way. I was hesitant at first because I hadn't planned on spending the money, but also because I had never had acupuncture before. But my husband and I figured, if it helped it would be worth it. And it was. After a sleepless night feeling congested and waking up fatigued and miserable with allergies, I called Flora. She answered immediately and provided her availability the same day. If you are lucky enough for acupuncture to be covered by your insurance, she will provide you with a super bill so you can submit it to your insurance. When it came time for the appointment she said it could last between 1 to 1.5 hours. Her office was unavailable but we could use the physical therapy/chiropractor's office she uses in Hanalei. I was familiar with the location and thought the setting was just fine. After a thorough consult, she told me her game plan. She had even attempted to find some natural allergy relief pills for me at the health food store on her way into town. Unfortunately, they were out but she was able to find them from the health food store downstairs, before our session ended. Flora explained each step before she performed it and was honest about what it would feel like. At the end of our session, I felt less congested. She gave me a game plan of herbs I needed to take to stay healthy and s paper bag with those herbs at the end of the session. For the next 24 hours, I took it easy, didn't work out, ate well and followed Flora's game plan for me. I felt much better by the next day. Moreover, I could breathe! A few days later, my husband and I both felt a sore throat coming on, we both started on the Chinese herbs that Flora suggested and I'm already feeling better after the first day. If it is the fear pain that is holding you back from trying Flora, don't worry about it. It doesn't really hurt. Some areas might be sensitive, but as Flora says, "it's a good friend telling you what you may not want to hear but need to hear." If it's money holding you back, I would say, is it worth your time to be in pain, discomfort or be sick? Some things are worth the money. After spending 2 months of my life quarantined from friends and family and at the mercy of doctors and specialists, I couldn't risk it again. I had to try something different. I'm glad I did. I hope that next time we come to the island, I can plan to work with Flora again for general health and well being. I'll also know, that if I get sick while traveling, Flora will be here to help put out a fire. I would recommend Flora to anyone. Don't give it another thought, call her and schedule an appointment. Thank you for sharing your gift, Flora!
