The Most Rejuvenating Acupuncture

A few weeks ago, I had an acupuncture session with Lauren at Glow Wellness in Makawao. I told her I’d been experiencing a bit of burnout and was needing some TLC and nervous system unwinding. Lucky for me, this turned out to be her specialty.

From the moment you step inside, the space itself feels like a warm hug—calm, grounding, and soothing in that deep, exhale-all-your-stress kind of way. Lauren meets you with that same energy, sitting beside you, taking the time to really understand where you’re at in your health and wellness journey. There’s no rush, no “let’s get on with it” energy—just pure, genuine care.

Then comes the magic. She guides you to the massage table, plays music that stirs something in your soul, and begins with a massage that—no exaggeration—made me wish the session was two hours longer. Her hands? Healing. The kind of touch that feels intentional, like every movement is meant to nourish and restore. And even after placing each delicate acupuncture needle, she would gently massage the surrounding area with such attention and care, it was felt.

And then? I floated. Into another dimension, into a space where time slowed, where my entire nervous system exhaled. I drifted into the most peaceful nap and woke up feeling completely recharged—so much so that later that day, someone literally told me I seemed extra “springy.” Lauren put a pep in my step, and I can’t wait to go back for more of what was hands down some of the most rejuvenating bodywork I’ve had in a long time.

If you’re in need of deep restoration, Glow Wellness is it. Tell them Maui Makai sent you. You’re welcome.
