About me:  I am a student at heart and never stop working to be better and do better in all things.  I grew up in the diverse melting pot of Hawaii, practicing martial arts, music and enjoying being part of a big family.  I have an extensive higher education background with years of study in science, business, accounting and law.   When I experienced a debilitating injury, I was exposed to massage therapy which helped me heal.  Ever since then, my passion resided in healthcare and I have been so thankful to be able to study massage therapy with many great teachers for over 16 years. The training I sought kept growing to include techniques used in a spa or resort setting, sports massage, on-site work for offices or triathlons, being a part of athlete training regimens and for massage clinics who placed importance on Chinese and Japanese modalities.   One reason I particularly enjoy this work, and the challenges that go along with it, is the opportunity to help people. Seeing client’s health, strength and quality of life improve brings me great joy and I know that the greatest thing I can offer is to help others with their wellness goals. Favorite thing about my work:  My clients are happy people.  I love seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter, sharing the energy, seeing progress, while continuously learning from everyone.   What I enjoy doing when I’m not working:  I like to travel to new places, camp, sail, and float around on lakes. I also enjoy just being in the company of my friends, family.
