Born and raised in the islands, I grew up on Oahu and Maui. College years brought me to Colorado to study resort management. I eventually settled down there for about 10 years staying within the service industry. The long winters and the pull of being back home in Hawaii finally brought me back. A new door was opened to me when I enrolled to study massage therapy at the American Institute of Massage Therapy in Kailua. After becoming licensed, I was hired on to the staff at Hina’ea Spa (also in Kailua) where I continue to offer my healing services to locals and tourists alike.
