The hour and a half just flew by. Ginger was very kind and extremely talented. I will certainly be using her services again. Mahalo Ginger!

I had been lucky enough to be the practice dummy from LMT in my family and friend circle. I have had literally several hundreds of massages done on me from different countries, and styles, and from amateur to top-rated massage therapists. I believe Erica A. at upcountry massage deserves to be rated as a top therapist on our island. She is very knowledgeable about how the body works, kind, and has a great intuitive sense of how to treat the body properly using massage.

First of all, these are RELAXING "needles" here. 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.
