🌸 Meet Amber — Owner and Patient Advocate
Aloha, I’m Amber Jensen, owner of Greener Healing Ways.
After spending nearly a decade working alongside Dr. James Berg, I feel incredibly grateful to carry forward the practice he and his wife, DeeAnne, built with so much heart and compassion.
As someone who was raised here on the Big Island and Kauai, I understand the challenges many of our patients face — whether it’s limited access to healthcare, difficulty with technology, or just trying to manage everything life brings.
My goal is simply to help make things a little easier — to provide guidance, encouragement, and care that always feels personal.
When you call our office, you won’t get a recording or a complicated system — you’ll reach a real person who cares and will take the time to help.
At Greener Healing Ways, every patient is treated with kindness and respect, because to us, you’re part of our ʻohana.
