Kīpuka Massage

Born and raised in the Panaewa rainforest of Hilo, Hawaii, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for balance, wellness, and the power of holistic healing. After graduating from the National Holistic Institute in Studio City, I am currently continuing my education in Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy to expand my knowledge and refine my approach to bodywork. Before stepping into the world of massage therapy, I spent eight years in the motion picture industry, where 80+ hour workweeks and stretches of 30+ days without a break were the norm. The relentless pace took a toll, and I saw firsthand how physically demanding work can wear down the body. Witnessing colleagues struggle with chronic pain and tension—while feeling the effects myself—made me yearn for a more balanced, holistic life. That desire led me to massage therapy, where I could help others find the relief and restoration they deserve. My Approach to Massage I begin each session by asking my client about their intention for the massage. Their response guides my approach—whether it's a communicative session focused on exploring pain and tension with feedback or a more relaxing experience with minimal verbal interaction. My goal is to align with what the client needs in the moment, creating a space that supports both healing and relaxation. My goal is to create a customized session that addresses both the body and mind—helping you feel better before you walk out of my studio. I believe that health is wealth, and I strive to provide a peaceful space where you can pause from the city's hustle, breathe deeply, and focus on your well-being. Whether you're seeking relief from tension, pain, or just a moment of calm, I'm here to support you on your journey to feeling your best.
