They were so kind and gentle, and offered the perfect amount of support without pressuring you into doing anything you don't want. My baby and I snuggled, breastfed, skin to skin all that good stuff from the moment he was born. I was overwhelmed by the tremendous love and bonded quickly. Five months later my heart is still filled with joy just by looking at my son everyday, and my husband and I are so happy to have this little human in our life. I am grateful for my trauma-free birthing experience and I believe that helped make other things easier.

Doc Sarah is a FIND. I won't knock traditional medicine -…read morebut I do know, in my experience, it can be limited to medicating the symptoms without really examining the causes, and can feel like a patchwork of specialty folks who don't always see the whole picture. At Hilo Natural, I've found a practitioner with both a breadth and depth of experience in treating the whole human. Doc Sarah combines comprehensive lab work, lifestyle factors, supplements, and has been able to help me make progress with some thyroid and lab issues (and also more physio-related issues foot and shoulder pain) with a combination of nutrient support, medication, and interventions like prolon therapy (really helpful for chronic plantar fasciitis.) Also, she's really, really dang smart - and a compassionate guide thru what has been a difficult entry into my 40s. The office is run as a tight ship - which I realize is unusual for an area in which 'business hours' are often a loose approximation and the general standard of responsiveness and timeliness is WELL below average. Basically, you get San Francisco Bay Area level care, follow-up, and appointment management here - so if you are prone to the generally lackadaisical island approach to things, this may not be a fit. For those accustomed to a 'laid back approach' (read: not respectful of time and about a decade behind in innovation) - this place will come as a bit of a jolt. As someone who values innovation, results, responsiveness- and respects my own time and that of other people - this clinic is perfect as both my go-to for integrative treatment and as my PC doc. These folks won't keep you waiting or offer anything but the latest in education, utmost in professionalism and of-the-moment treatment- so return the favor and be on time, do your homework, and get results.

I usually get my MTHFR supplements from Dr Strongs office but last time her secretary tried to sell…read moreme either expired items or supplements she wrongly ordered. She said the company stopped making the B12 with 5L, so now the only way to get them was biying them separate, which was double the cost. After calling the company ( seeking health) and been told they have never stopped making these 2 supplements in one formula, and that was actually their best seller, I called her office to return the supplements and get my money back. Her secretary hanged up on me when I said she lied to me, and Dr Strong kicked me out of the office by email in response of my request for a refund. Ah, and when I asked the secretary what the 5L part of the supplement was, she rudely answered "Im not a doctor " What kind of customer service is this??

This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Sam went above and beyond to not only…read moreget to know me but to share local experiences with me while I was visiting. She checked in during my entire trip to see how I was doing. So let's talk about the actual Water Reiki! It was the most beautiful and soul seeking experience. She picked a beautiful ocean front in Hilo. There is always a potential for rain and she communicated that with me ahead of time. We were lucky and it was a gorgeous day. I walked up to a massage bed beautifully laid out with Sam's tools. I got comfortable and we discussed my goals. She had already made a handful of notes based on our earlier discussion and as to not give away all her magic, I will tell you my mind was blown with the gifts I received. We began our first session on land. Once completed, she moved me to a floating pad on the water. We were so lucky to have a Honu (turtle) share the water with us. Once our time there was complete, Sam and I chatted for quite some time and absorbed all the beauty we were in. We moved back to the land spot where she had a nice robe waiting for me to warm up in. We looked up my readings and I felt like she took so much care and extra time I could have spent all day with her. I look forward to making it a priority to have a treatment with Sam when visiting the Island. I recommend checking out their services it will be well worth your time and will absolutely enhance your experience in Hawaii.

I had an amazing Reiki experience with Sam. At first, I was nervous to meet with Sam because I was…read morevisiting and I wasn't familiar with the area. However, I was comforted by her raving reviews so I decided to trust the process. Like the reviews mention, Sam has a strong intuition and she shared exactly what I needed during my session.

An eviction notice! I peer into the window and everything is gone! The place is empty! Like WTH! Quickly I call my ride back and was totally disappointed because I love one of the services that she has to offer. She could have at least taken down her ad.

You do not want to go here for anything. I did the 10 day…read morecleanse, it cost $3500, that took me years to save I did not know Dr Marry or her boyfriend a Israeli guy named Jorge. If that's really his name The first 5 days were not great but ok Marry (who should not be called a Dr) was not very unhelpful, I could tell she was l being fake nice. On the phone, she had spoken about helping people with trauma, so naturally when I went in, I talked about some of the stuff I've been through. All she ever did was shut me down or tell me something that happened to her, with crocodile tries, in her fancy ocean front house. I was raised in a cult, and that right there should have been enough for her to understand, if she was a real Dr or healer. She never had any information on things going on in my body wail cleaning She failed to tell me that I could adjust the presser or heat myself and when I would press the call button for help, she would wait leaving me there having a panic attack. I all so had my cycle and she said it was OK , it may have been but when something very strange happened, she had no answers, just like everything else. So I don't even know if what happened was Ok. She didn't tell me about the liver cleans or give instructions until it was too late to do it right. And that was just the beginning. It got worse, I was getting gas , blotting, burping and acid reflexes, it got worse over time just like the food. The food was the nastiest food ever, all sup just one smoothie, I asked her about it because it tasted toxic, she told me it was some special food for the program full of probiotics. I was throwing most of it away but the amount that I did ingest caused damage. I'm all so 100% vegetarian, no meat fish or eggs and was raised that way. She gave fish, did eat it but was so disrespectful. On day 9 and 10, I could barely walk and as I left on day 10, marry asked how I felt. I told her that the acid reflexes were really bad. She told me, ( "that from eating acidic food" ) the only food I was eating was what she gave me and some fruit. So she basically admitted to abusing me. She also had people creeping around and if asked her about something weird or out of place, she would try to pull the gaslighting game. I've been through a lot in life and some years ago , when I was going to the gym everyday. A guy that worked there that I only knew by first name , would pretend he had something to do with me. When I wasn't around He would create dramas and crimes and get the police involved. Making cases and investigations with my person as the suspect , but not in my name, so when I would try to find out why I was being investigated I got no ware. The police never spoke to me , they spoke to the person who's name it was in. Whom I'm assuming agreed to be put under surveillances. Then I was put under surveillance and trafficked. I believe they were up to something, like that. That's why they had people sneaking around the house and the police driving around when I showed up. I'm sure I'm not the first person she has abused and ripped off. I'm not sure what their criteria is for choosing their victims. Most likely money, is the deciding factor. I would NOT recommend them and never bring you kids there.

I choose Kim as a way to holistically heal with acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. She creates a peaceful environment for healing and is wonderful alternative to pain management.

I thought Kim was a skilled practitioner and I really loved my first treatment. However,…read morefor the 2nd & 3rd treatments, I had a very different experience. I felt she spent hardly any time with me, didn't read my pulses, put needles in, left then didn't come back for 20-25 mins when she had me turn over and put more needles in, then left again, with no questions of follow-up how I was doing, etc. She did do some short moxibustion treatment for 6 minutes at the end of the treatment. I think she can be a skilled acupuncturist, but for myself, I would prefer to have my practitioners be people who express more care and are more present with the treatment. If she was as consistent in her care for the other treatments as she was for the first one, I would leave a 5-star review. The last treatment was so deficient, that I left feeling pretty bad. I would rather spend my money on practitioners who sincerely work with more care about their patients.

Potentially racist encounter here. I would like a refund. Full experience below…read more I brought my bike up to the office and she insisted it wouldn't be stolen if I left it outside the door. She was so preoccupied about how much time this would take for me to find a bike rack downstairs due to "back to back" appointments. Why the f**k would I trust her word regarding the safety of my precious bike. After suggesting I come back another day, guilting me into "I drove here for you," and saying she called her next appointment to push to 9:40am (she did not since I was in front of her the whole time) ontop of me being desperate after a bad week, I suggested to put the bike inside her office which she agreed to. Looking back, I should've left because the purpose is to heal and how can I with this energy. And so begin the awkward convo about why I wanted acupuncture. She couldnt understand or pick up much of what I was saying due to lack of English so things I said I had to repeat or she didnt hear at all. Never go to a doctor that doesn't know your language fluently because then how are they supposed to treat you? Overall it was a quick 20-30 min acupuncture in a dark tight silent room. Shortest session I've ever had but she insisted "it's not about the time, it's about the results." Stayed on the table beyond my appointment time since she said her next appointment that she was preoccupied about "cancelled." She also mentioned right off the bat that she only accepted cash, which was not communicated when I booked the appt. The length of session was also not communicated prior. Anyways, if I had to run and go get cash, this would've been another reason she would've suggested "I come back another day." On top of that she didnt have full change so I get the vibe she was lying about the card machine not working...racism? Maybe but looking back on this, it seemed she was lying about many things and searching for any reason to not treat me. A waste of $75, but actually $77 since she didnt have enough change. Offered $2 off in next visit but I won't be returning. I would love a refund.

Shardai first treated me with the essential oils Raindrop Technique. As a holistic health practitioner, I have experienced many types of treatments, and did not expect it to be as wonderful as it was. But it was. The work is very gentle but intense. We began by setting an intention. Throughout the treatment I had clear visualizations of how to proceed with the intention set.
