Specializations: The Many Branches of Knowledge

As the Hawaiian proverb says, "A‘ohe pau ka ‘ike i ka halau ho‘okahi" or "All Knowledge is Not Learned in One School".  Over the past 25+ years of being a student of these Hawaiian traditions, my mentors facilitated invitations to study with numerous other teachers to master the different facets of Hawaiian culture, healing, and spirituality.  Doors were opened for me to study lomilomi massage and bodywork in several lineage traditions.  I was exposed to La'au Lapa'au, herbal medicines and to hula with other kumu.  And perhaps most importantly, the training in the art of Traditional Ho'oponopono forgiveness and cleansing work as had been practiced in Molokai's Halawa Valley for eons. The teachers and kumu who touched my life will always have my deepest gratitude. 

Then there are those amazing souls who have been my family, my loves, my friends, and my students.  They provided the stage for my journey to unfold.  They stood by to guide, to witness, to support, to lend vision and courage, and to celebrate.  In living life their way, and being who each of them are, they too are among my greatest teachers.

Lastly, my teachers have always taught me that nature will always be my most trusted teacher.  To the ancestors, nā akua, nā ‘aumakua, ka ‘aina, ka Lani, nā makani, ka moana, ka ua, ke ao, nā hōkū and all of the messengers, teachers, guardians that guided the ancients and still speak today, mahalo nui.
