Aloha!
I have been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine on the big island since 2008. I completed my Master's Degree at Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, California. Pain and stress are always something I can provide relief from, but Internal Medicine is my favorite. Usually as one condition is being treated, others resolve themselves! Please give me a call to discuss how I can be of service! Mahalo!

I often describe what I do as using the time honored art of acupuncture
to allow individuals to live as well as they possibly can. I say this
because: Though relatiively new to the west, Acupuncture has been in
continuous use for thousands of years in the East and can arguably be
named as the most used system of medicine in the world. I view
acupuncture more of an art than a science. successful treatment, in my
experience, is based on balancing multiple principles that are involved
in Chinese Medical philosophy, rather than chasing symptoms. In doing
so, I am repeatedly inspired by witnessing how my patients are able to
live with less pain and discomfort, and more fully then before.
