  Very knowledgeable about my needs, extremely kind and great customer service. I've been struggling with shoulder, upper back and neck pain, April knew exactly where to put everything. I could feel the release right away. I've been to the doctor for shots that did not work. Chiropractor didn't work either, This was the most helpful thing I've tried. I highly recommend it! She even has sessions for trauma related stuff and more. Her knowledge goes beyond just basic acupuncture. Definitely going back

  Dr. April is a miracle worker. I live with cancer and going to see her alleviates nearly all of my medication side effects. And she knows what is going on with my body. April listens. I recently hurt my back very badly, and after going to her once my back was nearly back to normal. I’ve been to many acupuncturists and it is relaxing, yet April obviously has a lot of knowledge and wants you to heal, not just relax. I am so grateful I began seeing her for acupuncture. I enjoy living now because things are working in my body like they are meant to. Thank you!

  I had my second visit with April today. New injury on my left knee. Haven't played pickleball for 3 weeks. Walking, going down the stairs, have been painful and frustrating. My visit was over due. I was hoping "resting" my knees from pickleball would help. It didn't. I walked out of her office 100% pain-free. No lump on my knee. Walking, standing straight up right, with confidence and in awe. It's life changing. Being a senior doesn't mean you have to make excuses for yourself. Living in Pain should not be acceptable. Making life changing choices and making the difference in our lives must matter. See April, the journey is well worth the dream. I am so happy I can turn to her to help me. She is full of love.

  Dr April Johnston is amazing. She is not only knowledgeable, kind, so smart to figure out what you need and completely makes you feel at ease. I have been to many acupuncturist’s before and she far exceeds every one of them. I only wish I could take her home with me. But rest assured I will see her each and every time I come to Kona. Give her a try you will not be disappointed. I came to the island in pain, after a nasty fall and I am leaving a million times better.

  Due to my training, and past injuries, I am constantly in pain and have restrictive movement. I visit Dr. Johnston regularly and after every visit have found the pain is significantly reduced, and movement and alignment feels restored. Her treatments have also been a huge help to my digestion and reduction in stress levels. I high recommend!
