My name is "Ocean" Christy Taylor, and healing has been at the heart of my life's work for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience across multiple healing modalities and a deep foundation in both Eastern and Western therapeutic traditions, I bring a holistic, intuitive, and individualized approach to every treatment.
My journey began at a young age with Reiki and energy healing, practices that played a meaningful role in my own healing journey with two herniated discs in my lower back. This experience sparked a lifelong interest in the body's innate capacity to heal and inspired me to explore a wide range of therapeutic disciplines.
In my late teens, I trained in reflexology and Tui Na, a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage technique, and began working in a Chinese doctor's office. I went on to complete numerous yoga teacher trainings around the world, teaching yoga in Australia and on the North Shore of Kauai and Oahu. I also completed an intensive two-year Advanced Remedial Massage program and spent 20 years practicing massage therapy in Canada, Australia, and Hawaii.
In 2017, I earned my Master's degree in Acupuncture in Honolulu, deepening my understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine and its holistic approach to health and well-being. During my studies, I had the privilege of learning from the late Master Chang Yi Hsiang, a 64th-generation Taoist lineage holder within a tradition tracing its roots back approximately 2,000 years to the Han dynasty.
Today, I integrate my extensive background in bodywork, energy healing, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to offer personalized treatments that support pain relief, relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. My practice incorporates acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, and medical-grade LED light therapy, with each session tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual.
My intention is to create a space where you feel supported, deeply relaxed, and empowered in your healing journey.
~Acupuncture~
Acupuncture is part of a medical system that has been successfully treating people for thousands of years. It promotes circulation, reduces inflammation to eliminate pain, improves metabolism and restores proper functioning of all body systems. One of the basic theories of Chinese Medicine is that everything is connected, so the whole body is considered in treatment.
Very delicate needles are placed in various parts of the body to help naturally correct any imbalance that might be causing negative changes. Points are chosen based on a sophisticated system of diagnosis. It is both safe and effective, and many people describe it as being extremely relaxing. I also apply "Estim" or electrical stimulation to the needles if needed. Which works very effectively at treating chronic or severe pain.
~Cupping Therapy~
Cupping is a form of therapy in which cups are placed on the skin to create suction and dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern and European cultures. Much like the inverse of massage - rather than applying pressure to muscles, Cupping Therapy uses gentle pressure to pull them upward. This can be a particularly relaxing and relieving sensation. Once suctioned, the cups are generally left in place for about ten minutes while the patient relaxes. I often will slide the cups around with organic oils in order to break up stuck muscles tissues.
Medical-Grade LED Light Therapy
Included in Every Session
Enhance your acupuncture treatment with Celluma light therapy, a medical-grade LED treatment that uses clinically studied wavelengths of light to support skin health, tissue recovery, and overall wellness.
Originally developed from NASA-era research into light therapy, this technology has applications in both skincare and musculoskeletal care. Celluma light therapy may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve acne-prone skin, ease muscle and joint discomfort, and support healthy circulation and the body's natural healing processes.
During your acupuncture session, I’ll position the Celluma device over the area that would benefit most, allowing you to relax while the light therapy complements your treatment. Together, acupuncture and light therapy create a restorative experience designed to support pain relief, relaxation, and whole-body wellness.
This soothing treatment is included with every acupuncture session at no additional cost.
