MASSAGE & SHAMANIC JOURNEYING

Hawaiian Lomilomi/Medical Qigong Massage

Integrating Hawaiian Lomilomi and Medical Qigong (Chinese Medicine) to promote healing and harmony to Body/Mind/Spirit. This modality releases stress and toxins, relieves inflammation and pain. It nourishes the physiological systems and enhances the circulation of vital energy (Qi), blood, and nutrients throughout the body. Fully or partially clothed.

Hypnotherapy/Shamanic Visualization

Hawaiian petroglyph: umbilical circles Hypnotherapy and Shamanic Visualizations are journeys within that nourish your relationship with self, Mother Earth, and Spirit. They help connect you with your ancestral, animal, and spiritual guardians. Hypnotherapy and Shamanic work help release and resolve grief, trauma, and emotional blockages and promote inner peace, clarity and empowerment. I've worked with clients in major life transitions such as pregnancy and birth, major surgery, and hospice care and dying. At times I integrate Medical Qigong (energy work) with the hypnotherapy/shamanic journeys to facilitate the healing process. Fully clothed.

Acupressure/Yijing Medical Qigong

These modalities release stress, anxiety, toxins, and memories of trauma in the body. They nourish the brain and nervous system and increase endorphins and hormones (dopamine, serotonin and melatonin) for overall well-being, happiness, and better sleep. They balance the chakras, enhance vital energy, and rejuvenate your spirit. Fully clothed.

Private/Small Group Qigong Lessons

Qigong is an ancient Taoist Shamanic practice grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qigong is acupressure in movement - meridians open and flow to release stress and toxins, nourish the body and build vital energy, and enhance flexibility, strength and balance. Qigong enhances the internal organs and physiological systems, and increases cellular vitality, which slows down the aging process. Learn self-care acupoints, Qigong healing and movement techniques, and visualizations.

Fees

I find the most comprehensive healing is an integration of Hawaiian Lomilomi and Medical Qigong massage. The session may include learning self-help acupoints, Qigong, or a hypnotherapy/shamanic visualization for healing and empowerment.

Fees: $110-1hr; $130-1.25hrs; $160-1.5 hours
Sliding scale is always offered to those in need.

“Your touch is both strong and gentle, along with being prayerful. It is sacred and of the earth at the same time. I really enjoyed the combination of Lomilomi and Chi Kung, the strength and the subtlety, both active and calming; wonderful Yin/Yang balance. The styles are a perfect marriage in your hands. You communicate deeply with the tissues; both attentively and kinesthetically. Your work feels great and is respectful. While you combine two styles, you make them one art.”

Joseph Carter, L. Ac, director of the Acupressure Institute, Berkeley California

“The lomilomi massage was fantastic. It goes very deep and yet was not invasive. It was penetrating, deep and soothing at the same time. My neck has not been so flexible in quite a while. It was a nuclear meltdown. I came in with a lot of stress, and left feeling very relaxed. You have a wonderful touch, good technique, and awareness of how to combine these.”

Surja Jessup, MS, CHT

“I am truly grateful for the beautiful and healing session yesterday. Your gift was unbelievable – more than words can say. I can say that I slept better than I have slept in a long time; my body was at peace as was my mind. I also have incredible energy this morning – I do have to say I had to ‘ground’ myself several times after the session – I was literally ‘floating’ everywhere. You have such a gift from the God of your understanding. I am keeping Amma close to heart – her image and her voice will be a wonderful reminder to bring peace to myself – my spirit. Bless you, Kaleo, for your presence and the gifts you bring to me and so many others. Love and Prayers – and Aloha.”
