Aloha !

I'm Maire and I'm an acupuncturist, herbalist, mom, lover of the outdoors, and do-it-yourself (DIY) junkie.

My passion is helping others feel better in their bodies. If you feel good in your body, mind and spirit, this will shine outwards in positive ways into every aspect of your life: health, relationships, and career.

Women’s health and fertility are my specialities. I help women with fertility issues because I have been through them myself. I have experienced the pain, the frustration and the impatience. 

My partner and I went through multiple rounds of IUI and eventually IVF to conceive our little girl.

I was able to navigate my way through my own personal fertility issues through the power of acupuncture and holistic modalities, and I feel it is my duty to guide other women on the same path.

what I have to offer

My holistic approach to health and well being draws from a variety of cultures and practices, with an emphasis on Chinese Medicine.

Through my experiences in treating patients and most importantly finding ways to help myself, I've developed the philosophy that no one way works for everyone. I've amassed an array of tools to create customized treatments and recommendations tailored to your uniqueness.
