Of Samoan descent, born in Hawaii and raised in New Zealand I am the sum total of my ancestors, my family and friends and the diverse experiences of my life! And this is absolutely reflected in my massage philosophy and style.
Growing up I had the opportunity to massage my mother and father, and as my 30th revolution around the sun was drawing near, I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to know what I'm actually doing??!?' Cue massage school at Hawaii Healing Arts College and the rest is history!
I have been licensed in the (fake) state of Hawaii since 2013 and massage therapy has been my bread and butter ever since. Currently licensed in both AL and GA, I believe that we are all born with the innate ability for healing, and as a massage therapist I feel honored to faciliate that process and be a part of someone's journey towards restoring balance and health.
I incorporate a variety of deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, breathwork and relaxation techniques in my treatments.
I find joy in time spent with my Love, my pups, family and friends; and love using my hands to build and create a great many things.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!!
