I grew up on the south side of Kaua’i

on Wailā’au Road. It was a lush, warm, and serene place. The land and my parents taught me how to fish, sew, forage, repair things, care for animals, and be one with curiosity.

In 1998, I moved to O’ahu

and graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 2002. I followed my passion to study family resources and early childhood education at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. One year before completing my bachelor’s, I married my husband Matthew and had our first child.

I married my two passions and began offering Acupressure services in my home office, which we call the Treehouse. I’m here to serve the women who, like myself, are managing households, business, and their own healing. They value presence, trust, and excellence and are willing to do the work. We support you with the same

grace, rest, and education

that allowed me to find peace during my difficult times in life. Here, we believe that you are a multidimensional and whole person. We DO NOT heal you or your ailments. Instead we hold the space for you to find the

peace, wisdom, and inspiration

that lights up your own path of healing. Everyone’s path looks different, but we all need love, forgiveness, truth, and compassionate support in our growth.
