    Grace A.

    The thought of acupuncture needles scared me, but they made me so comfortable by talking me through the process. After 15 minutes of acupuncture, the cupping came. It was a bit sore at first, but my body got use to how it felt. After the culling they rubbed a menthol soaked cotton ball on my back where the cupping areas were. I felt like I was floating on a cloud!! This place is awesome, and the family that owns it is very friendly. I come here once a month or whenever my body needs it. You have to make an appointment though because they have gotten busier.

    Magical tea!! Taste horrible but works wonders!

    I came here in 2021 when I first visited Oahu and I was seeking a reliable place that does…read moreacupuncture. When I arrived here, the level of care I received was excellent and the price was super affordable. My neck pain went away after getting treatment here. Fast forward to 2026, I was in need of therapy for my neck again. It is definitely something with long flights and using pillows that I am not used to. Anyways, I should have called for a reservation because it is so busy here. I wasn't able to get the therapy this time, but I wanted to leave this long overdue review. The people here seems to really care about your well-being and treat you with kindness. They are located right next to the Waiola shave ice. There are several parking spaces.

    Can't speak highly enough of Patricia! I've been there 3 times now and each time after the session…read moreI would walk out pain free! I used to be scared to acupuncture coz no one likes to have multiple needles inserted into the body right? But after feeling the immediate positive effects of it, I'm a believer, and I think the 5 minutes of discomfort is extremely worth it for the few or multiple pain-free days I get out of it! That's my main motivation to keep coming back. If you tried PT, massage and all that and nothing seems working, give acupuncture a try. To me, effects of a massage could only provide maybe half a day of pain relief and of course the relaxation, and I'm spending $80 which gets expensive. Acupuncture is more effective and more affordable, so the choice is obvious for me. It also helps a lot that Patricia is caring, understanding, knowledgeable, skillful, honest, calm and reassuring, everything you want in a good acupuncturist. She gave me a consultation and took my pulse every time before we would go upstairs for the acupuncture session. Usually I go there for my lower back pain, but if she notices something else wrong, or if I bring something else up, then she would put the needles in the appropriate pressure points to treat that as well. I would say, out of all the acupuncturists I've had, including some in Hong Kong china, she's the most precise in terms of where to put the needles, because almost every needle going in I would feel some numbing sensation. Sometimes when it's intense, my muscle would twitch. That's a good thing because it means it's the right spot!!! Depending on your condition and the area of problem, and also depending on how hard the acupuncturist wants it to go lol, each needle would feel differently, so I can only imagine acupuncture feels different for every single person as well. But in general feeling the nerve firing up, numbness or tingling is considered normal. (The sharps of the needle is nothing compared to the sensation once the needle is in. The numbness I described is after the needle is already inside.) After having the needles in, I was able to have at least 30 mins to lie down on my stomach to rest (with needles on my back). Sometimes I would doze off because it's actually very relaxing. She would then come in to take them out and massage the spots a bit to get the blood flowing. The environment is relaxing with meditative music playing upstairs. The room is also shared with other patients, with 2 massage beds and 2 chairs spaced apart. Payment is on a sliding scale from $30-55. They don't take insurance. I hope they're doing ok with this payment method to keep the place running! It's the best acupuncture experience I've had, and I'm a regular now!

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!

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!

That made a huge difference in my healing process. Her approach is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring. If you're looking for someone who goes beyond just treating the immediate issue and supports your overall well-being, I highly recommend her

I was essentially told I had to decide that minute (like literally THAT MINUTE) if I would accept an upcoming appointment in a few weeks. I'm in treatment with a different acupuncturist - it's been 8 months after all - and I needed a moment to think about this. I wanted to review my care plan and goals after not hearing from this practice for so long. Very much caught off guard. I asked if I could have time to think (I wanted about an hour), and was told no - I would need to decide right then THAT MINUTE - and she needed to proceed down the waitlist. I felt extremely pressured to make a decision on the spot, in a very vulnerable aspect of health care - fertility and women's health. I was about to say yes, and then after thinking about it for the three seconds I had and how unprofessional this all felt - my answer turned to a hard "no." This practice made me feel like a mark, a number, an insignificant person on a list to get through until they hit their client booking goals.

I've been to therapists in LA, NY, Thailand, Seoul, and Japan, but I always left feeling like they were just scratching the surface. Hawaii Natural Therapy recommended Ashley S. to me to address these issues and she is hands down the best I've ever worked with. She is a total professional with a "quiet strength" that I really appreciated and made me feel completely comfortable & at ease, which let me actually relax despite the good pain! What blew me away was her intuition. I feel like she instinctively knew exactly where to go and didn't just chase the symptoms or the transferred pain; but rather went straight for the root of the issue. She has the kind of strength that is rare to find, and uses it with so much control and technique. I did a 90-minute session with cupping, and a week later, my entire body feels significantly lighter. That decade-old knot is practically on its way out the door. I'll be seeing her regularly from now on every time I'm back home, and I'm already recommending her to everyone I know. If you need someone who truly understands the body and has the strength to back it up, go see Ashley. I cannot recommend her enough! 12/10 P.S.

She also finished off by putting this soothing minty cream on me, and I left feeling rejuvenated and not one bit sticky. FYI- this is not a luxury spa experience. Her office space is more of a clinic-feel, and her therapy is really more medicinal than a day-at-the-spa treatment. But trust me, I'd let her beat me up any day!
