"Melissa is a great acupuncturist that really cares about her patients. The clinic is clean and has a great vibe. Melissa took the time to get to know me better and thoroughly reviewed my medical history. I definitely recommend Aviva Acupuncture!

I came to Melissa in hopes of finding relief from reoccurring migraines. I had never received acupuncture but something in me was telling me it was time to try it, and I was led to Melissa through a couple internet searches of acupuncturists around my area. Melissa was very personable, knowledgeably informative, and concerned for my well-being. To add, she has a very warm, friendly, and inviting personality. The treatment itself was truly an incredible experience for me. The needles were not nearly as painful as I had perceived they might be and they provided a world of relief. I still feel immense relief the day after (the day I am writing this). She also insisted we do some cupping, which i had never done, but I'm glad we did it because it added extra alleviation from my symptoms. Overall it was wonderful and I'm glad i was led to her establishment and i look forward to coming in again.

I cannot say enough positive things about Melissa. Her positive and calming nature come straight through as soon as I met her.

I was very apprehensive about acupuncture and cupping but Melissa walked me through every step, was very patient, and talked me through what was happening.

The acupuncture, cupping and massage at the first visit released knots and relieved so much of the pain I was feeling. I felt so good leaving her office. The second visit was just as good and I felt that we made a positive connection spiritually so the healing was even better. I will be seeing her soon for the 3rd visit, I can't wait!

Everything was clean and orderly at both location. Plus both locations (pearl city and kahala) had ample parking.

Plus I feel her rates were very reasonable in comparison to others I have heard about.

I have been telling everyone that will listen that I am very happy with Melissa and I encourage you to give her a try.

I went from debilitating pain to having relief. I highly recommend Aviva Acupuncture, Melissa is a kind, gentle, and nurturing acupuncturist. Real huge significant difference in my healing journey. I'm very grateful!

I was looking for acupuncture services in O’ahu, and I found Aviva. Melissa is a professional and intuitive healer with a genuine passion for helping others to improve their overall health. I have been using her services of acupuncture and fire cupping to improve my face allergies and shoulder pain (chronic pain). The results are excellent, I have tried so many products for my face, and I never thought acupuncture and Melissa’s recommendations of essential oils would help this much. Thank you, Melissa.

Melissa at Aviva Acupuncture is simply amazing. Her kindness and knowledge shine through, making you feel safe and welcomed from the moment you step in. Melissa's passion for her work is evident, and she takes the time to tailor treatments to your specific needs. Her caring and nurturing approach create a wonderful, healing atmosphere. I highly recommend Melissa for a truly exceptional acupuncture experience.

Melissa is very attentive and gentle in her approach to care. When I walked in she was very welcoming, and addressed my concerns before starting treatment. The way she inputs the needles are super gentle and you don't even notice they're there, which was very nice since I can get a bit jumpy. She also did cupping and offered other therapies in her session, overall a great experience, would highly recommend!!

Melissa is highly intuitive and gifted at reading energy fields. I prefer seeing her for routine acupuncture, cupping and nutrition!

The moment I walked through the door of Aviva Acupuncture, the scent of a essentiall oils created a sense of peace and calm. As Faye offered me a cup of hot tea with her welcoming smile, I feel I was already being taken care of.

She made sure I understood what was going to take place by explaining how acupuncture works through a well guided treatment plan. I felt that she was truly concerned about my well being and determined to resolve my Health challenges as quickly as possible.

The techniques that Faye utilizes are very effective in quickly eliminating pain and discomfort, and addressing specific problems as well as restoring overall balance. She is the most tenacious and persistent healthcare practitioner I have ever met when it comes to making sure my issues have been resolved. I have been receiving acupuncture treatments for most of my adult life and have never experienced these techniques before. By the time my first treatment was finished, the back pain I had experienced for 20 years was gone! Over the course of my treatment plan, even my most stubborn problems continue to be a thing of the past, such as painful arthritis in my knees and my metabolic fluctuations have stabilized.

Another unexpected benefit has been the sense of well being that continues to linger for quite some time after my treatments. I am also happy to report that as a result of Faye's Lifestyle, diet and exercise recommendations, my response to The overall experience has been much more lasting and consistent than if I were trying to do it on my own because of the continued support I am receiving from her.

I feel very lucky to have found such a caring individual who is so gifted in healing. And the fact that she continues to keep educating herself after graduating from acupuncture school tells me that she is truly dedicated to be the most informed and effective practitioner possible. The world certainly needs more people like Faye to help us heal ourselves.

Now I truly understand that my body knows how to heal itself and that acupuncture provides a direct channel to help make that happen.

Amazing!!! Have never had this much energy since before my child was born!!!! Feel like. A new person!!!!! Thank you for giving me my life back!

I visited Faye for debilitating knee pain. I was having trouble navigating stairs and getting into and out of my car. She treated me using the Tan method of acupuncture (which truthfully seemed rather strange). Instead of putting needles in my knees, she placed needles in my elbows.

After a 20 minute rest, the needles were removed. I was amazed that I was able to do a deeper knee bend than I'd been able to do in 20 years. I got easily into my car and could walk down the stairs without pain.

I still need more sessions but I was amazed at how rapidly Faye's treatment worked. She does fabulous work.

Faye is a wonderful acupuncturist. She spends a lot of time with you figuring out what is going on and then works her magic. Her treatments are painless which is a plus! And I loved her office, super clean and calm, I felt so relaxed while I was there and days afterwards. I definitely recommend Faye to anyone wanting to try acupuncture.

Great treatment. I always leave feeling reinvigorated and healthy. Faye has also pointed me in the direction to help my diet and overall health. Her treatments are gentle and painless and she always gets to the root of the problem. She is well versed in herbs and will provide you with the necessary tools to be your healthiest.

I had my first acupuncture treatment at Aviva acupuncture on Oahu this summer. Our rental car had been rear-ended and I was in pain. Having had a history of neck pain with cervical fusions I am cautious about my approach to new practitioners, but a friend recommended Aviva to us so we made an appointment. Faye was very sensitive to my injury and assured me that she would be extremely gentle and careful to only help me. Rather amazingly the treatment only took 15 minutes rather than the usual 45min and I had fairly immediate relief of the pain in my neck. I was so surprised. I kept waiting for the pain to come back but the best thing was it didn't come back and allowed me to enjoy the rest of my vacation. It was such a surprising and pleasant experience I would definitely recommend Aviva acupuncture to anyone and I will go back there when we return to Hawaii.  Faye has learned advanced acupuncture applications that I had never had before and the difference between the traditional and hers was that the pain subsided almost immediately!

Melissa at Aviva Acupuncture was able to cure my Trigeminal Neuralgia after just a few visits. My pain was through the roof and I could barely function. She really listened to me and I felt like my whole being was being treated. Melissa at Aviva Acupuncture is a true healer!

Faye was amazing!! I did my first ever acupuncture with her and I could barely feel the needles. Before we got started we talked for about 30mins about my lifestyle and what I planned to get out of acupuncture. Faye listened to all my needs during the session and made me feel very comfortable.

I will definitely see her again.

Faye is a very skilled acupuncturist with impeccable attention to detail with acute awareness and compassion for my discomfort. I had loud pitch tinnitus in one ear with sharp pain, I lived with this discomfort for almost a year. After 5 treatments from Faye, my pain went away and the tinnitus diminished substantially. She cares about the results, she made sure I would not leave her table until substantial relief was attained. She's all 10 stars!!!

Amazing Acupuncture session with Faye.   She was super knowledgeable and seemed really invested in helping me as a client.  I went in with some lung issues, wheezing and sinus congestion.  Faye was able to clear my nasal congestion and coughing with my lungs.  She was professional and compassionate.  I will totally be seeing her again.

I was a bit skeptical about acupuncture but decided to give it a try because I have constant lower back pain due to a herniated disc.  I found Aviva Acupuncture where Faye was able to help me out with my back pain.  I'm not too good with needles but she did a great job of making me feel comfortable.  After a few minutes, the pain was gone, it was pretty amazing.   And it can help with a whole variety of things, not just back pain.  If your thinking about it, do it, you'll be amazed too.
