Dr. Christensen draws from her vast training in both eastern and western medicine. She is on the faculty at the University of Hawaii Medical School. She is also an experienced harpist who was accepted into the Juilliard School. And she uses music therapy in her practice.

I came to Dr. Christensen with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, migraines, gastric issues and leg vein insufficiency. I had recently lost my husband to cancer. I decided to sell multiple properties on the east coast, quit my job and move to Oahu with two dogs and a cat. I was in search of a new life, warmth and wellness and I wanted to do it without pills being handed to me for every new symptom. It lead me to Dr. Christensen. In 8 months my cholesterol became normal, my blood pressure medication cut in half and decreasing, I lost 18 lbs and I feel wonderful. My medical problems are vanishing.

I work in the field of western medicine and see people living with more and more pills. Take charge of your health. Be motivated. Exercise, eat nutritiously, and learn ways to reduce stress. The result is increased well being and happiness and you electrify everyone around you.

Have you ever spent 90 minutes with a Doctor? Dr. Christensen will be a true partner to wellness.

Dr. Christenson is a blessing! I had years of helpful acupuncture and holistic treatment that helped me find the path to wellness, and now Dr. Christenson is helping me advance along that path. She offers comprehensive medical appointments suited to the patient's particular needs. And, she operates using a combination of extensive training and spot-on intuition, always targeting the root of the issue with compassion and understanding. In a world where medicine is dominated by pharmaceutical companies Dr. Christenson is a breath of fresh air, not hesitating to prescribe Western medicine as needed, and also prepared to prescribe herbs and other treatments to really help target and cure the root causes of dis-ease.

I have never met a better MD. She accepts many types of insurance, works on weekends which is helpful for busy weekday workers, and operates out of an office that overlooks beautiful mountains, surrounded by the sounds of nature. She is worth every penny that I spend in co-pays - you can't put a price on health! In fact, I refer everyone I know to her because I trust her not only with myself, but also my loved ones as well. She is an honest, fair, and compassionate healer, and I will be forever grateful for her services.

Dr. Christenson was highly recommended to me by a close friend. I decided to see her to try acupuncture to help with my severe shoulder and neck pain and to help me manage my stress. My pain was so bad, it was difficult for me to sleep and last through the workday. It was really my first time trying acupuncture and I wasn't sure what to expect. I have to say that Dr. C is most caring, gentle, generous, thorough, and understanding doctor I've ever met. She is so giving with her knowledge and time and over the course of just 5 months my pain is pretty much gone. Along with the acupuncture, she has taught me tools to help me manage my stress, which also helps to reduce my pain. In regards to cost, I have insurance which covers part of my treatments and I have small co-pays. Overall, I have never had an experience with a doctor where I have to pay so little for so much treatment. I have already recommended her services to many friends and want to extend that recommendation to everyone who reads this review.

I spent a year with Dr Christiansen working on anxiety, anger and serious depression. She amazed me with her unconditional love and taught me tapping and breathing techniques to help me change my "mind". The fact that the Doctor has a very broad spectrum of healing knowledge which is what I find so valuable in working with her. She is loving but straight forward on how you can get better. She was also always very responsive when I needed prescriptions, calling them in for me. I miss working with her so much now that I am in the states. I find her to be a spiritual teacher(non denominational), a wonderful and knowledgeable doctor. Expense is relative to each individual but I did not have the experience of her charging fees that were unreasonable give the depth of her knowledge and her incredibly gentle and loving approach to working with you, PRICELESS in today's world. You can trust this person with yourself.... but remember no one gets well without participating in their cure.
