Her world travels lead her to perform, dance and teach all over the world in countries such as England, Scotland, Australia, New Zeland, Canada,The Netherlands and the U.S. Her gift for intuitive bodywork and dance are a perfect match for the ancient healing art of lomi lomi. As a child she knew that practicing the healing arts was going to be her life's focus.

She is trained in many modalities of bodywork such as Swedish, Cranial-Sacral, Deep Tissue, Acupressure, and Pregnancy Massage and is a licensed massage therapist and DONA certified birth doula.

What Lomi Lomi Means to Me

"My introduction to Lomi Lomi was a huge affirmation of everything that I thought massage should be. It is a sacred journey both for the person receiving as well as the person giving the massage. Lomi Lomi is a fluid, nurturing dance that fuses two bodies into one. As the rhythm changes and relaxation becomes surrender, a shift takes place. Time and space are mutable and the breath dictates how and where the energy moves. I have come out of a 4-hour session completely unaware that I had been working that long and feeling fully energized. This work has profound effects on people’s lives. Especially with regards to how they relate to themselves and in effect, how they relate to everyone around them. It is love in its purest undiluted essence. Whether I am teaching a workshop or offering a treatment, I prepare the space and myself as I would a temple to divinity. Every session is unique and catered to each person in the moment. Even if I work with someone 100 times they never get the same massage twice. Lomi Lomi is a flow, not a routine and that is what I try to convey when I teach. I want to help people realize their inner strength and guidance and remember how to use their tools to heal themselves and other people. It is my intention that people walk away from a session or seminar feeling empowered and wanting to take steps to better themselves, knowing that they have just taken the first one. It is my greatest joy and deepest wish to share this gift with as many people as I can."
