The seed to my wellness business was planted 23 years ago when, becoming a young adult meant finding my fit - to be productive, purposeful and kind. But I didn’t know exactly how or if I’d fit into the blueprint: job, husband, kids, good citizen, matriarch for future generations. This solid blueprint was one of love and care and wrapped in our culture’s identity to manage our kuleana (responsibilities) well, respect our community and to try to make decisions that help people around us feel more comforted, happy and secure.
In the years that followed, I became curious and a little anxious to tweak the blueprint that had worked in my family for generations. I determined that my fit would become my purpose and supported by the values I was raised with. Yes, I did the first phase in the blueprint pattern. I continued education, worked, got married. Then, I listened to my inner calling to explore ideas to practice my island given values of aloha and to put my compassion into action. I would test, even redesign the blueprint pattern.
I took my aloha, my curiosity, courage and my gratitude of island hospitality to San Francisco and looked to fit in. I worked in retail giving my best to assist a young entrepreneur pursuing her dreams; I worked in education where I loved working with children struggling to fit into a society a little different from their norm and assisted in comforting preschoolers and parents over a threshold and into limitless possibilities through education, independence and trust.
It was then that my youthful thoughts of kindness, respect and generosity were clearly the next step in my personal growth. I did not have to venture away from home to learn what I had perhaps, suppressed as feelings, not purpose. And I am grateful that I took the opportunity. I was grounded in my fit - to help others while lifting them higher than myself and to recognize that everyone who ponders the question, “What is My Fit?”, is really good enough to celebrate who they are as they ignite their fit.
Healing Moon Wellness blends all that I have experienced, all that I know deeply, and all that I hope to learn with you in the name of holistic wellness. I have cultivated ideas that have transformed to complementary wellness choices including sound healing, meditation classes, aromatherapy, and in honor of my home and our best communication rhythm, healing connections through talk-story sessions.
We invite you to learn more about our offerings and values aimed at giving you a sense of belonging and place when you are seeking care, cheers, balance and inclusion.
