I find ecstasy in living -- the mere sense of living is joy enough. Emily Dickinson
Our dearly beloved brother, Charles “Shambu” Mardel, died on August 2, 2011 at his home in Kamaole.
Private services were held by the family on Maui.
Shambu was born on Jan. 12, 1953 in Buffalo, N.Y. to Alfred and Florine Mardel.
He was a Chinese herbalist, acupuncturist, and healer.
He is survived by his wife, Claudia Mardel; sister, Christine Thomas of CA; brother, Frank Mardel.
Shambu was loved and cherished by many people across the world and we joyously commit his soul to God
Shambu Charles Mardel practicing Acupuncture for over 20 years.
A very gifted healer and friend to all.
One year today my friend Charles (Shambu) left his body to the earth. Having known this beautiful man I can only imagine his current state of consciousness. Charles was not only an excellent acupuncturist, but a true healer, there are many of the former but few of the latter. To have both in one person is truly a blessing. He was a healer of the highest order, with an awesome ability to sense the source of life, in a heartbeat. “May all beings be happy”
Thank you Shambu. your friend Ryan-
An 11 hour flight to Maui in Spring of 2011 encouraged my sciatica ~ I knew my trip would be dispirited unless “magic” happened. I found Charles. I had not ever had accupunture done, and his warm presence and very handsome looks put me in la-la land without even applying the first needle. I told him that my schedule was limited and he went to work. He said “I will see what I can do”. The sciatic that I had for over a year, disappeared. I had been using many other modalities for over a year to no avail. To say I was enchanted is an understatement. I kept his number and called recently to find he had passed the same year I was there. If I had only known…I would have kissed him. What a beautiful soul. A true healer. I am so grateful the powers-that-be allowed me to cross his path.
