Christine was awesome. very knowledgeable and helpful! I feel pain free for the 1^st time in a year! I hope this is the answer to my problems. Thank you Iao Acupuncture

Had a very good experience. Three visits and was more than pleased with the results. I found Christine knowledgable and helpful. Will definitely return on my next trip to Maui, which I hope is soon!

Money hungry establishment that does not focus on healing:
I had my very first acupuncture appointment with the owner and practitioner, Christine Asuncion. From the moment I met Christine, she did not strike me as a healer. As I checked in, I let her know that I had never had this type of treatment before and asked a few preliminary questions about acupuncture. She was shockingly arrogant and condescending in her responses. I found her demeanor and lack of professionalism to be such a turn off that I immediately cancelled my appointment and explained the reasons why.
Christine apologized and convinced me to stay to discuss my concerns further. I reluctantly agreed, but she failed to convince me that she was capable of providing any therapeutic healing. She was given ample opportunities to convince me otherwise, but she continued to speak to me in an arrogant manner — so I left. The last straw was that she failed to mention that she was planning to charge me a consultation fee for the time she spent apologizing and attempting to make amends for upsetting me so much when she first met me.
Although she failed to mention any possible charge to me before, during or after my time there, she tried to charge my consultation fee to the person who referred me to her. Christine does not know the basics of conducting a business. She is also the furthest thing from a healer.
Simply put, Christine stresses me out. I’m sure there are better acupuncture practitioners out there who have a better understanding of healing the mind — body — soul. I will never go back to this place.

I’ve been suffering from a cronic neck pain for over 20 years from fused discs. Massage and chiropractic helps some. Most times it’s manageable. But for weeks now, the usual Allieve couldn’t help reduce my pain. So I added acupuncture to the mix. I’ve tried several people in the years but I ultimately settled with Debra for many reasons. I purchased the package of 3 acupuncture sessions with Debra. After the sessions and combined with massage and chiropractic, I seriously have not had a day of pain. Not even any stiffness or discomfort. I haven’t felt this relieved in way too long. I’ll continue to see Debra for maintenance, but I really thought I had to look into surgery to feel better.
