We believe that regular access to this type of care, can reduce the incidences of chronic diseases, relieve chronic pain and resolve symptoms of illness when they arise.

Kelly Baucum, L.Ac.
Acupuncturist My journey to Chinese medicine began with an ankle injury. I received acupuncture and, of course, my ankle improved. But on top of that my sleep improved, my migraines improved, my overall energy levels improved. I needed to know more about this medicine and wanted to share it with as many as I could. I am a graduate of the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR. At NUNM I had the pleasure of learning from many talented practitioners with varying styles. This education left me with a huge range of tools to utilize to treat my patients. |
While each treatment is customized for each individual, I specialize in gentle treatments which are well-suited to patients living with anxiety and depression, sleep conditions, pain, digestive disorders, and many other ailments.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring all of the beauty of this island. I love to hike, swim, bike, knit, craft, paint and hang out with my husband and my dog, Grizzly. I am so excited to join Wailuku Community Acupuncture and look forward to serving the community on Maui.
