humility
A – stands for AHONUI, meaning patience
By Pilahi Paki

Through the experience of living and working as a massage therapist on the island of Maui, I discovered lomilomi, the ancient
form of Hawaiian healing massage. Dr. Maka’ala Yates , a Kanaka
Maoli (of Hawaiian ancestry) is a highly
respected Kumu Lomi Elima (master teacher of lomilomi). As my good
friend and mentor, he has been fundamental in guiding me to a greater
understanding of the principals of Hawaiian healing. He inspires
the vision we represent.
Although we live in modern times, to which some of our cutting-edge
spa treatments can attest, our
spirit lives an ancient truth within our hearts that sustains and
endures.
It is our hope that through your time at our spa you will reconnect
with yourself…that you will relax, rejuvenate and revitalize.
