Or, if you've ever questioned the possibility of herbal supplements superseding pharmaceuticals. I have a debilitating illness that causes chronic pain and fatigue. No medications have helped, only hurt, with horrifying side effects. I was in really bad shape when I started with Soraya. I was skeptical and worried about the cost as my insurance didn't cover. However, what I found was RELIEF were there have been none for so long and at a very affordable price. Soraya worked with me on every aspect of my well-being. I take natural herbal supplements now, not pharmaceuticals. I see her twice a week for acupuncture. I also changed my diet and started doing yoga. I truly enjoy sound healing which Soraya also offers. I truly believe Soraya has saved my life! I still deal with an illness but I now have the tools to not only cope but to thrive. I even lost weight without trying, just following Soraya's guidance on being in a healthier and happier frame of mind. She helped me learn these things by explaining, checking in and truly caring, not by meeting for 15 minutes and writing a pharmaceutical prescription. If you are ready to feel better and be happier, give Soraya a call. Or meet her at one of her yoga classes if you just want to be healthier and happier. She truly cares. She is a God Send!

I have seen Michelle the owner/chiropracter, Elizabeth the acupuncturist and recently this month Heather the massage therapist. All 3 were excellent. I stopped Chiro as that particular style didn't work for my head injury but the back Chiro part was fine. Elizabeth I saw for several V.A. extended visits, maybe 20-25 visits. I found her highly sensitive, intuitive, and an excellent acupuncturist. Looks can be deceiving--she seems so quiet and shy but she gave me very good acupuncture and I had several breakthroughs under her care not found at any other acupuncture appointments the V.A. sent me to over the past 12 years. Heather was awesome. My Bff was a massage therapist and went w/my brother so I never got a massage;) This was my FIRST massage in my life. She was excellent and although I was a bit sore the next day, my neck and traps were so much more relaxed--worth it. This is a good group and I'm happy the V.A. referred me there!

If you've never experienced FST (Fascial Stretch Therapy) you are missing out! Windward Oahu is so lucky to have Leslie Wright! I've been practicing massage therapy for 28 years and can share with experience & confidence, this gal is skilled! I enjoyed my session soooo much, it was like having a soothing dance expertly performed on me. Oh, and she trained directly with the founders of FST for over a year! Don't let her young appearance fool you, she has been practicing for just under 20 years. This modality of assisted stretching is sooooo much more than improving muscle flexibility! Think joint health & range of motion and of course... fascia. I decided to try FST because I have chronic pain in my low back, hips, (including flexors) and read in an issue of "Massage Therapy"magazine that the gentle FST approach is VERY effective in improving my kind of issues. If you relate, GET A PACKAGE! Ill say it again, GET A PACKAGE! I cant wait for my next session with Leslie! Just gotta try it!

Dr. Mei-Lin is amazing!…read more In our quest for parenthood, I stumbled upon Maunakea Acupuncture. My Obgyn said to just continue trying and come back in a year if nothing happens. Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

First off... You must enter through the front door of the blue building facing Alaloa St. Office is…read moreup the stairs and 2nd door on the left. I came in for 2 hrs of acupuncture and massage. $30/HR... Total of $60 + tip (if you choose... You should). Yes that's not a misprint! Idk how long these prices are going on for but she is fantastic!! We started face down. (Undergarment kept on). She started with the acupuncture. Followed by massage. The massage was very intuitive. My body is so stiff and knotted from not stretching ever and playing rugby and other contact sports. Kathy tested each segment of tissue with pressure to see if it was too stiff to continue or needed to push deeper. When my body would tense up, she eased up and manipulated other regions which indirectly released the initial segment. This is all without a word from me or her. (This was my first time getting acupuncture so I cannot compare) Time to flip and repeat on the ventral side. She finished with some neck face massage. I had a tough time turning my head left. And she fixed that without me even telling her. The only thing I said when I came in was... General tension and stiffness. No pain. I played basketball for the first time in years and I was all over the court! Bending over, touching the floor, all kinds of stuff I couldn't do before. This is NOT a spa. It is a small cozy and clean office. A/C keeps you and her cool. She had relaxing tunes playing and you don't even hear anything from outside of the building. She has been doing this for years! If you want to pay for all that extra stuff at a spa go ahead (a spa 2 min away is charging triple for the same). But if you want an inexpensive massage that you can get at least 2x a month... This is the place! I've already gone and told about half dozen of my family and friends about her. Price point and skills doesn't get any better! *You call her #... Voicemail tells you the next available appointments... You leave your name and your phone number and your desired time... She sends a text message to confirm the time... You must reply to confirm*

She has the most affordable prices anywhere, while keeping her skills honed and offering a menu with a variety to choose from that you will enjoy.

She also offers chakra cleansing and hypnotherapy services.

Her massage table is super comfortable that you will probably end up nodding off during your treatment! At her extremely reasonable prices, you can afford to treat yourself to massage therapy more often than you may think. Please also bless her with a nice tip, she works hard to make you feel so much better! Parking is on Alaloa Street, but many of us just park at the far edges of Windward Mall (closest to the U-Haul) and walk across to her building. You will need ability to ambulate up and downstairs in this 2-story walk-up. She offers appointments from about 8:00 AM to 7:00 or 8:00 PM by appointment only.

She has NEVER EVER pressured me or asked me to buy any of these from her. Go see Kathy now, your body will thank you!

After the course of treatment, I now only get them maybe once a month or two! A HUGE improvement if you ask me. One particular treatment where I had an active migraine, I could literally feel the pain leave my head as she moved the needles down to transition their flow (prickly sensation) to my feet- it was WILD. Not only did she help reduce my head pain and frequency significantly, but she always presented a very warm and welcoming environment. I'm not entirely a fan of needles, but she eased me into it, and ensured I was comfortable thru out the process (the heated bed helps). She always asked how each needle felt, if it needed more or less pressure, and offered to check in on me halfway thru the treatment. She also did some cupping, which was new to me, and help ease the tension coming down my neck and shoulders. Front desk staff are nice too, they remember you after a few treatments. Definitely recommend Phi Lan for any migraine treatment! She's the best!

She invited me to enjoy a cup of tea in the lounge area after the treatment to settle down from my blissful high. I'm looking forward to continuing my treatments with her.
