North Shore Kauai Acupuncture, Cupping and More..

-A patient off in the space between awake and asleep-

Here on the North Shore of Kauai there are several practitioners with different styles. Many have told me I'm very good at diagnosing a patient with my fingers, feeling the meridians and the stagnation within it. Following it and then finding a release point or several to free the blockage. Sometimes it can be as simple as glass suction cups massaging the skin and other times people need more. When a muscle has gone into spasm, I first will try to unlock it through distal points away from the sensitive area, as it is likely defensive. When I decide it's the optimal treatment, trigger point can be the one and only thing that will work... and it's amazing. I travel the line of the muscle and once it has relaxed, move onto the next releasing something much like a shoestring or even thicker. I learned the tricks of the trade of trigger point from my mentor Marketa Bilkova and I liked her information so much that I continued on as a TA for her class so I could continue to work hands on with students. This amazing technique works well for any muscle tightness from head to toe and I love combining it with glass fire cupping, moxabustion and sometimes e-stem. Specializing in Sports Medicine, Cupping Massage, Trigger Point and Joint Rehabilitation, it's possible Trigger Point Therapy is my style but I have a hard time defining myself to just one...

I travel the island providing in-home sessions and have an office in Hanalei on the North Shore where I practice a lot of Glass fire cupping massage, Tuina Chinese Medical Massage, Lymphatic Meridian Touch Therapy, Moxabustion, Electrical Stimulation (less scary then it sounds), Tuning forks and Guasha Jade stone scraping. If you don't understand, refer to the techniques page of the website.

Lets make the world a better place, with less physical pain, through the use of herbal medicine, exercises, ancient medicine practices and of course evolving science as needed.

Reflexology- Auravedic Foot Massage

There are several theories as to how reflexology works to reduce pain and how it can target different areas of the body, including specific organs. They all confirm that reducing stress has a large cognitive effect on the brain and simultaneously releases tension.  

It's said Reflexology originated in ancient Egyptian times but was adopted in Asia and  India finally making it to the west. Long ago, it was tradition when a visitor arrived in an Indian home, it was customary to draw a foot bath and massage their feet using Reflexology techniques. Stimulating the different points on the feet not only relax organs but move blood and Qi (the body's life force energy explained in more detail under the 'Breath and Movement' page on this website). Much of the tension and pain found in the body is due to stagnation (sluggish movement) of blood and Qi. When there is lack of flow, it can create excess or deficiencies in the bodies organs. Reflexology points on the hands and feet correspond in a mirror effect to different organs and body parts. It works as a complimentary whole body medicine treating not only the symptoms but the root cause by stimulating the correct areas.

Auriculo Acupuncture (Ear acupuncture)

Using this same microsystem described in Auriculotherapy, ear acupuncture is extremely specific as the tiny fine tipped needles have the accuracy to stimulate a point that may be extremely tiny. All the same, do not be fooled by the size, as these points can be the strongest analgesics (pain killer acupuncture points) of the entire body. They are commonly used to treat injuries, pain, addictions, PTSD (specifically with Vet's suffering from trauma), anxiety, depression, smoking cessions, headaches and can treat any condition or organ of the body. One of my favorite areas with such a strong influence!
