If you need or you find forms unclear and intimidating, save yourself time and call these providers first.”

Schedule Your AppointmentAt Greener Healing Ways, we believe education is the heart of safe and effective medical cannabis care.
Our Cannabis Education Library helps patients, caregivers, and Kupuna understand how cannabis interacts with the body, how to use it responsibly, and how to make informed choices rooted in both science and aloha.
Whether you’re new to medical cannabis or looking to expand your understanding, this library offers clear, medically accurate information to guide your wellness journey.
Aloha, I’m Amber Jensen, owner of Greener Healing Ways. After working alongside Dr. James “Jim” Berg for nearly a decade, I’m honored to continue the compassionate, patient-centered care he brought to our island community. Over the years, Dr. Berg became not just a mentor, but one of my closest and most trusted friends. Carrying forward his work is both a privilege and a personal responsibility that I hold close to my heart.
I was raised on the Big Island and went to high school on Kauai. Hawaii has always been home, and it’s where my heart and family are. I’m a proud mom to one daughter and a grateful grandmother to three wonderful boys who remind me every day what matters most: family, kindness, and aloha.
My goal is simple: to make healthcare personal again. I believe in taking the time to listen, to explain, and to help patients feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Whether it’s guiding someone through their 329 renewal or answering questions with patience and understanding, I’m here to make the process easy and stress-free.
At Greener Healing Ways, we continue Dr. Berg’s legacy of natural, holistic care, serving patients across Hawaii with compassion, integrity, and aloha.
Greener Healing Ways was founded by Dr. James Berg and DeeAnne Domnick, pioneers in Hawaii’s medical cannabis community who dedicated many years to helping patients access safe, evidence-based care.
They built a trusted practice grounded in compassion, education, and the belief that healing should never come with judgment.
Though Dr. Berg has retired, the foundation he and DeeAnne created continues to shape every patient interaction we have today. Their spirit of kindness and medical integrity remains the cornerstone of our work.
Together, Dr. Paola Abaro and Amber Jensen lead Greener Healing Ways with the same values that have defined the practice from the start: compassion, education, and aloha.
We are committed to making medical cannabis care accessible, professional, and respectful for all patients across Hawaii.
From our flexible scheduling and telehealth options to our growing patient education library, every service we offer is designed to help patients feel supported and empowered on their path to wellness.
Today we honor the retirement of Dr. James Berg, who has served our island community with dedication, compassion, and aloha for over 20 years.
As the founder of Greener Healing Ways, Dr. Berg has guided thousands of patients with wisdom, kindness, and care. His work has touched countless lives, and his presence in our office will be deeply missed.
While we celebrate his well-earned retirement, we also look forward to continuing the Greener Healing Ways legacy of compassionate care. I am honored to carry this work forward, and we are excited to welcome our new provider, Paola Abaro, APRN, who will continue to serve our patients with the same level of care and aloha you have come to know.
