Fertility
I first met Kimo at the beginning of my fertility journey. She came highly recommended to us by one of her colleagues. I firmly believe she is one of the main contributing factors in my successful pregnancy.
We had been trying to become pregnant for some time and finally figured IVF was the way to go. I began seeing Kimo for acupuncture about 6 months (?) prior to our actual procedure. Every acupuncture visit was calming, positive, and promising. Her optimism and honesty really made me feel comfortable. Kimo is just a person that makes you feel at home- no matter the location. She was so helpful with every aspect of women's health. During one session I gave her the details of some odd feelings and she was the one to instruct me I needed to visit the dr as I may be dealing with a hernia...of course, she was spot on.
Kimo accompanied us to our first embryo transfer and again with our second (and VERY successful). She was the calm during a scary and emotional time- she stayed in the room with me after the transfer and I truly believe she made the difference. I can't speak highly enough of Kimo, her acupuncture practice, and her amazing disposition.
I follow a someone on Instagram that calls his special people Ohana- which I believe in Hawaiian means a concept of family. This is how my family feels about Kimo.

Pain/Injury
"I first visited Kimo for a recurring shoulder pain, especially noticeable when playing fetch with my dog using a Chuck-it. It felt like a muscle spasm in a bed of gravel under my scapula. The acupuncture felt relaxing and before long my shoulder was back in action without the snap of pain that I had been experiencing.
I returned to see Kimo after experiencing a general sense of body weakness and also, I had fainted a couple times while trail running. As a runner of twenty years, this was an unpleasant surprise. After my first visit Kimo suggested that I look at my diet. By implementing her suggestions and returning for a couple more visits I could feel my strength returning to my fingertips and have never experienced fainting, or even near-fainting again. I felt like she saved my life.
And that was at least three years ago!"

"Kimo is a wiz! A single treatment gave me instant relief for an indescribably painful muscle spasm in my hip. When I limped into her clinic, I was in tears. A prior visit with my PT to address the issue had only provided temporary relief, and I was desperate. Kimo’s demeanor was gentle and calming. She took the time to isolate the specific muscle(s) in spasm, gently inserted an acupuncture needle and added a low-current electrical stimulation. She also treated for general pain relief. When the treatment was over, I was pain free – and the pain never returned. I’m still in awe."
