Tell us a little something about your business...
Drawing on the wisdom and guidance of my Kūpuna (ancestors), I support individuals in identifying and releasing the limiting beliefs, stories, and unconscious patterns that may be hindering their growth. This work empowers them to step into their full power and potential with greater clarity and purpose.
When a person becomes aware of their behaviors and thought patterns and chooses to make intentional, conscious changes, those shifts can be deep and lasting. The transformation is more powerful because it comes from within; they are actively choosing a new way forward.
My role is not to heal, but to guide. This is a collaborative journey built on trust, insight, and commitment.
If you’re interested in collaborating or inviting me as a podcast guest to explore topics like healing, personal transformation, and the influence of ancient Hawaiian wisdom, feel free to reach out.
When was your lightbulb moment?
My light bulb moment was 25 years ago when I heard my ancestors speak to me for the first time. “It’s time to go home!” They said. I realized I wasn’t happy or excited in my job and career; in fact, it was slowly killing me, physically and spiritually. In that moment, I knew there was no going back. I walked into my boss’s office the next morning. (I was an executive manager, and my boss was the division president) and said, “I quit. I can’t do this anymore.” I sold everything I had and moved back to Hawaii after being away for almost 25 years. That set me on the path of self-discovery and realizing there was a gift inside me that was begging to get out and be shared with the world.
What are your three words of advice?
Watch Your Words
Why do you think they call it “spelling”? Words are magic; they hold and transmit energy.
What you say says a lot about how you feel about yourself and how you see/interact with the world around you. Becoming mindful of your words and how you use them has the potential to change your life. All those cruel and critical things we say to ourselves have such a deep impact on our lives and what we manifest/create. Think of it this way: would you say to a child what you say to yourself multiple times a day? The repercussions, both mentally and spiritually, would be devastating.
