Instructor Bio

I love, practice and teach Mana Lomi® - a form of highly effective, bone deep yet gentle, clinically and structurally focused lomilomi developed by my mentor Hawaiian healer and Mana Lomi® founder Maka'ala Yates D.C. Lomilomi has been the guiding force of my life since 1996 and I have been honored since 2005 to teach lomilomi both as massage continuing education classes and also in several massage school programs.

 

I love teaching people highly effective, scientifically focused clinical thinking and hands-on techniques which are spiritually grounded in the foundation of Spirit-Nature-Humanity. In my teaching I emphasize body awareness, use of one’s weight, development of keen palpation skills and the use of the creative power of the words. My intent as a teacher is to see the Light in each person and to help each student to be and to do their very best. I help students develop a quality of touch which is deep yet gentle, and also to integrate spiritual and/or emotional qualities into bodywork sessions if so desired to support healing on multiple levels.

 

I began doing massage as a teen-ager in the 1970’s. I graduated from Brian Utting School of Massage in Seattle, WA in 1996 and since then have maintained an active private practice in Seattle called Awareness Massage.
