“Our being is a brilliant pattern of energies, a spectrum of Possibilities. At every moment we have the capacity to experience the open dimension of who we are. “”
Aloha, I’m Kristen McCormack.
It is my honor to welcome you to my holistic health and wellness practice here in the coastal region of lower Puna, on Hawai‘i Island. With a compassionate heart and more than 20 years of experience in the healing arts, I offer deeply nourishing sessions for the whole of you — body, mind, and spirit.
Each session is a unique weaving of the many modalities I practice. Sometimes we focus on one approach, other times we integrate several. With deep attunement and compassionate inquiry, I meet each client exactly where they are, guided by their own inner wisdom and healing goals.
My work draws from a rich tapestry of traditions, including:
Phenomenal Touch Massage
Trauma-Informed Bodywork
Five-Element Acupuncture & Classical Chinese Medicine
Jin Shin Tara
Shamanic Healing
Compassionate Coaching
Art Therapy
Zero Balancing
My healing space, nestled within Mauriora Gardens, our family’s 3-acre farm, offers an experience as restorative as the work itself. Just a short 20-minute drive along the coast from Pāhoa, you’ll arrive through the tree-lined canopy of the Red Road and walk a soft forest path into an open-air sanctuary embraced by kamani, ironwood, and hala trees. To receive care here is as close to forest bathing as I can imagine.
It is a joy and privilege to serve my community with skill, compassion, and love — and to welcome clients into a place of beauty and healing.
“Kristen is a truly gifted massage therapist and acupuncturist. I’ve been seeing her since 2018, and every session is a deeply restorative experience, filled with care, presence, and skill. Her yurt, surrounded by birdsong and sacred kamani trees, is the perfect setting for healing. The combination of acupuncture and massage in one session is something rare and special. Friends who visit from far and wide always end up raving about her. Truly, every visit with Kristen feels like a soul-nourishing mini retreat. I wholeheartedly recommend her!.” ”
“Kristen is not only an extremely talented massage therapist and acupuncturist, she is highly intuitive, thoughtful and thorough. Going to see Kristen is a pure joy, I can’t recommend her highly enough”
