Yeshuah ‘Waiaka’ Kauhane is a Chinese medicine practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, face reader, intuitive, herbalist, homesteader, and anthropologist. For over two decades, she has been putting down roots in ʻŌpihikao, Moku o Keawe (Hawai‘i Island), where her practice is deeply woven into the land that sustains her.
Her approach to healing is relational.
It’s rooted in connection—to ʻāina (earth), to ancestry, to story, to body, to breath.
To family. To food. To the unseen.
With a background in anthropology, a love for myth and meaning, and five years of dedicated study in Hawaiian lifeways with Kumu Kekuhi Kealiʻikanakaʻoleohaililani, Yeshuah brings both reverence and real-world experience to her work.
Decades of homesteading and herbal medicine have shaped the way she listens, nourishes, and serves. Whether she’s placing needles, reading faces, or guiding breath, she meets each client with presence, humility, and deep care.
“As only you can imagine through the course of 3 years…I have been blessed by the hearts and hands of many many healers. None, however, compare to the anointing and healing of heart, mind, body and spirit I have received with you. I see my beauty, and I know my worth…” -Halani
Her mission is to empower those seeking deep healing, self-worth, pain relief, and inner peace.
Her vision is to help patients see themselves and the world with fresh perspective, freeing them to reclaim their innate health and well-being.
"We often hear the concept "Holistic healing" and minimize its power to something less scientific, less robust, and less effective than what is available to us in some Western medicine. And yet a few minutes in Waiakaʻs presence is all it takes to recognize her expertise in not only the bodyʻs system, but how a particular body engages in living life well. When Iʻve had the great opportunity to be seen by Waiaka, she went beyond the surface level symptom and opened the opportunity for me to engage radical solutions for my own greater health and wellbeing." -Leahi
“Liz is blown away by her healing. 100% better! Thank you…” -Randy, (husband)
