I actually cannot stand regular needles even for…read moreanother recent "simple" TB test prick, as regular needles of any kind and duration are highly traumatizing for me. Even you probably do not mind a one-second, quick TB test, right? Well, I highly do, and afterwards questioned why I even got the test in the first place, never mind the fact that I needed it to register for college class(es). So the fact that Sesame's needles here are honestly so very relaxing is a huge deal. This is a long overdue review I am sure because HOW can I put into words something that is just TOO amazing even for words like amazing! Get what I'm saying? It's BEYOND amazing, BEYOND wonderful; yes, healing, but you cannot fathom the EXTENT and TYPE of healing until you experience it. And by "it" I mean the absolutely warm, wonderful, beautiful Sesame Unlu's out-of-this-world treatments. I cannot emphasize enough just how lovely and pleasant of a person she is! I am sure maybe others feel the same way about writing a review here because HOW can you get across just HOW good!!! Anyone who does not go to Sesame is totally missing out big time. Whenever another person whom I care about comes into my life, I instantly think, this person should go to Sesame for even more care and healing. And Yelp needs to fix their algorithm because all nineteen five-star reviews that got filtered out are 100% true. I just skimmed through them and was like "yep, yes, true, true, spot-on" to each detail. I think just how good Sesame is defies their algorithm! I first went to Sesame four years ago. I probably just googled Maui and acupuncture? I had already gone to FOUR other acupuncturists, three of them which hurt pretty badly, and one that didn't and I got pretty good healing treatments from, but the energy was off! One time when I merely asked this OTHER acupuncturist early in the day if he has openings for an appointment that day, he immediately went OFF on me, and literally said madly, among other things, his "dogs are not going to feed themselves!" Direct quote. And my car accident insurance was paying him well! What IS that???? He could have just simply said, "sorry, I don't have any openings today." (I had another similar, yet even crazier happening yesterday from the owner of a massage place, which I believe also offers acupuncture, so I want to list the name here and will soon, so other people can avoid, but it was so insane that I am still in shock from it and processing, and Sesame was there for me in support!!!) I am grateful every day to this day that I found Sesame. She is ALWAYS professional, yet warm, and seems to have ZERO stress?!?! in all of your interactions with her and when you go in to get a treatment with her. She doesn't let insurance stress her even. She's literally like, "eh" like no big deal at all, which is definitely the attitude you need to have and feel and believe about insurance. If you don't let it phase you then it won't, people!!!!!! If you let it get to you, you will be a miserable wreck, like the above mentioned massage/acupuncture place owner I literally have a saved cursing voicemail from!!! I know because I have done lots of medical billing over many years myself, and my dad is originally a general surgeon and has been a chiropractor for 22 years now!!!! Back to Sesame's treatments: You enter an absolute calm sanctuary from the outside world with nothing that could ever disturb it and see Sesame's always smiling happy warm self. You have one hour that there are no excuses for you NOT to relax. No devices. No work. Nothing. You have no choice but to relax and take this time for yourself and your healing. On the table, NOT EVEN ONE NEEDLE HURTS AT ALL!!! In fact, each needle brings immediate relaxation and release of pressure. Also, amazing aromatherapy while you are relaxing for an HOUR. And one of the best things is when you "zonk out" like you are out of this world, but you really believe that you were not sleeping, you are just in another world of consciousness healing while literally out-of-this-world. It's a wonderful feeling. Then you emerge and the effects last! I cannot tell you just HOW many times I have gotten a massage, for example, or a relaxing chiropractic treatment (not twisting and cracking) other than my dad's out-of-state and just thought I already need another one TODAY or TOMORROW!!!! Sesame's treatments do not feel like that. They really are so worth it and will last you a lifetime.

My technician Cory gave me a deep tissue massage and my husband had a relaxation massage by Jenn. We get massages regularly back home so we are tough critics because we love our Massage Therapist back home and going someplace else is always tricky - both Cory and Jenn did a wonderful job!! We enjoyed the little touches we do not normally receive, like a light eye covering, a warm towel on our feet and hands at the end; for me when Cory was done working on my back she placed a warm heating pad there while she worked on my legs ... heavenly! If we lived here we would be a regular patrons!! The space is welcoming and calm. We highly recommend.

When my husband mentioned this to them when booking, they highly recommended the restorative message with Malia for me. Upon arriving, there is plenty of parking since it's in a small plaza. But it's a bit tricky to find the first time, since it is through a door and up the stairs. The receptionist was really nice and had us checked in quickly and got us water. Malia and Ashley kindly greeted us and brought us to the couple's room where we got settled in. My husband said his massage was really relaxing and Ashley was able to hit a lot of pressure points he didn't know were sore and tired. Malia was AMAZING, there was a point she used hot stone on my foot, and it was hurting so much due to the plantar fasciitis, but I knew I had to endure it. She really focused on the calves and foot with heat and helped me feel relax and comfortable. After the massage, Malia really took the time to explain home remedies and what I should do to help with plantar fasciitis. Overall, 808 Wellness Spa was amazing! We had such a relaxing and great time here. After Malia's advice in taking better care of my foot and massaging it as she recommended, I feel so much better while doing my high impact sports. I highly recommend this place if your body feels stressed and sore.

Clive does the whole bit, he'll walk through your health history, your workout regimen, take into consideration your weight/age/illnesses, checks your tongue, any sore spots and then will create a program that fits your needs. Sadly, during my last trip to Maui back in May, I had been very ill (prior to even getting there), and Clive helped ease my tension and get my body back on track to working properly once again. I wholeheartedly recommend him. His fees are simple and well-priced, and the shop he works out of is very clean, very easy to access for people staying in Lahaina and any local resorts, and the relaxation factor is ridiculous. Definitely drop by for a one hour session and take your island experience to another level. You'll feel energized, clean, and ready to go. Will return.

Dr. Drew Farrior not only could get me in same day (the very day I arrived on Maui) but within 2 hours. He knew right away what was wrong, did some treatments involving a tens machine and then was so gentile while he did my adjustments. I've been under chiropractic care for decades and typically this issue gets much worse for about 48 hours after it's corrected but Dr. Farrior's technique had me feeling 85% better by the next morning. By the next day I was only a little sore and by day three I was pain free. I wish he wasn't a 7 hour flight away or he would be my forever chiropractor.
