This year was a reminder that growth often happens quietly — through repetition, patience, and presence.

I’m thankful for the trust, the learning, and the continued evolution of my work.

Wishing you a restful holiday season and a new year aligned with what truly matters.

What is Community Acupuncture?

Community Clinics are an affordable, accessible way to experience healing in a shared space — designed to be both calming and effective. Instead of traditional one-on-one sessions, treatments are offered in a group setting, making care more community-centered and cost-effective.

At our events, you’ll receive treatment in a comfortable position either on a massage table or seated chair, depending on your concern and the area being treated.

At these events we will be offering acupuncture, cupping, and massage (depending on availability).

The treatments we’ll be showcasing are especially helpful for young professionals, students, athletes, and all who deal with:

Neck & back or posture pain
Jaw tension & headaches
Stress, anxiety, and burnout
Sports recovery & muscle soreness
Hormonal imbalance & cycle support
Fatigue, insomnia, digestive issues
…and more…

We’ll be offering mini acupuncture & bodywork sessions — share your experience, great content for health + wellness storytelling 📸 🎥🧡

To start off 2025, I just finished a 10 day course in Vipassana (which means to see things as they really are) it is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art of Living.

This is a psycho-somatic (mind-body) awareness meditation technique that helps retrain the nervous system to build awareness and be non-reactive (or less-reactive) to triggers and attachments, reducing or eliminating unhealthy patterns of uncontrolled cravings (desires) and aversions (dislikes), being the cause of suffering. These programmed responses are stored in our body and manifest as pain or other health (physical and/or mental) conditions.

Although I can highly recommend it (experience cannot be measured by theory), it was pretty intense, a mediation boot camp, for 10 days we lived like monks.

If you’d like to learn more you can visit the website hi.us.dhamma.org (Hawaii chapters) or message me.

This is the No. 1 kind of person we need in our lives to ‘feel our best’—and it’s not promoters who ‘sing our praises’…

We need the cheerleaders, advisors, and collaborators who are right there with us in the trenches of making or trying something new. Their help takes a different form: They may offer emotional support, creative thinking, or even life experience. 

I call them “gems.”

‘They can be equal parts role model, mentor, therapist, coach, and co-conspirator’

Gems are those people in our lives who help us feel our best. They’re thoughtful, energizing peers and friends who accept us, recognize our talents, and encourage us to go after what we want. They believe in our abilities and cheer us on when we experience self-doubt. 

They’re honest with us when our behaviors aren’t in line with our values or when our skills and talents need honing. They act as sounding boards, offer advice, and challenge our ideas when needed.
