Born and raised in Hawai’i, as a kid I found a connection to the island ecology that remains my most reliable reference to health. Building on this relationship, I spent the first several years of my adult life living and working in some of Hawai’i’s most remote places, including the uninhabited islands and atolls of the Northwestern Hawaiian archipelago. My experiences as a field biologist in these places have helped to form my understanding of the endless beauty that arises from healthy ecosystems. While my appreciation of ecological patterns continues to inform my life, my intrigue with our species’ tenuous reputation on the planet has incurably blurred the margin between the observer and the observed. The endless source of inspiration emerging from these margins has made me a student of health, healing and the human body.
My interest in bodywork began in 2009 with Hawaiian Lomilomi. In 2015 I completed my coursework in The Rolf method of Structural Integration which encourages my understanding of bodywork's ability to affect meaningful change.
It is with a natural faith in our collective spirit and a keen curiosity about the experience of being human that I hope to inspire health and creativity in others.
