Anjelika Babekova is a seasoned licensed acupuncturist and herbalist based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, with over 25 years of experience in the healing arts. As founder of DU20 Acupuncture & Wellness Center, she combines ancient wisdom with modern clinical practices to offer powerful, integrative healing—particularly for those suffering from pain, emotional trauma, and chronic illness. |
Anjelika received her Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from World Medicine Institute, where she completed a direct apprenticeship with Taoist Master Chang Yi Hsiang, Ph.D.—a 64th-generation lineage holder of the Heavenly Taoist Masters of Long Hu Shan, Jiangxi Province, China. Under Dr. Chang's mentorship, she assisted in treating 20–40 patients daily with a focus on oncology, fertility, pediatrics, trauma, injury, and chronic immunological disorders.
Her clinical experience continued to grow through apprenticeship with Chinese medicine doctors at Tripler Army Medical Center’s pain management unit, where she deepened her training in acupuncture for musculoskeletal injuries and complex pain syndromes. Anjelika is extensively trained in Dr. Tan’s Balance Method—an acupuncture system known for its immediate results in pain relief and internal medicine—and she is also a certified Western Clinical Herbalist through the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine founded by Michael Moore.
Today, Anjelika’s thriving clinic specializes in pain management, PTSD, and psycho-emotional healing—especially for military veterans. Over the past decade, she has worked extensively within the VA system, helping hundreds of veterans manage chronic pain, avoid opioid dependence, and experience emotional release through a combination of acupuncture and somatic therapies. Her compassionate care has become a beacon of hope for veterans seeking natural, non-invasive alternatives to pharmaceuticals and surgery.
A fierce advocate for access to East Asian medical care, Anjelika volunteers her time in projects aimed at expanding trauma-informed services and integrative healing for veterans. She currently provides up to 30% of her care to veterans at reduced rates or on a volunteer basis, believing that those who have served our country deserve the best that traditional medicine has to offer.
Anjelika’s journey in healing began over two decades ago when she founded a metaphysical healing center offering integrative coaching, bodywork, meditation, and other somatic therapies. She later spent three years traveling through Southeast Asia, India, and South America, immersing herself in global healing practices and deepening her understanding of the mind-body connection.
On Maui, Anjelika co-founded a Community Acupuncture & Herbal Clinic where she treated up to 20 patients per day, developed her own line of medicinal tinctures and salves, and worked passionately to make acupuncture and traditional East Asian medicine both affordable and accessible to local Hawaiian communities. Her dedication helped ensure that high-quality, culturally respectful care was available to those seeking natural approaches to healing.
Her healing philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. She encourages her patients to cultivate vitality through balanced nutrition, movement, acupuncture, and herbal medicine, all while supporting lifestyle changes that restore internal harmony.
Anjelika’s long-term vision includes creating a collaborative healing sanctuary where multiple modalities—acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, nutrition & herbs, integrative psychology, somatic therapy, physical therapy, and yoga—are offered under one roof at an affordable membership rate. She dreams of cultivating an on-site herb garden to provide patients with access to fresh, locally grown medicinal plants.
With her deep clinical knowledge, compassionate approach, and unwavering dedication to veterans and the local Hawaii community, Anjelika Babekova continues to be a vital force in the transformation of healthcare in Hawai‘i.
