Mahalo for taking the time to check out my website!
My first career straight out of high school (Moanaloa High class of 82), was in military communications.
After six years of serving in the US Navy, I worked at NRTF Lualualei (transmitter site) in Nanakuli for 12 years.
That environment was not for me, so I began switching gears in the early 90's towards massage therapy.
Having a natural curiosity for the workings of the human body and an instinctual drive to help people led me to the wellness arena.

What are Knots?
When there is muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesion's or what many people refer to as "knots" (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscle, tendon, and/or ligaments.
Adhesion's can also be caused by lack of nutrient rich oxygenated blood due to shallow breathing, smoking, a poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use (including prescription medications), lack of water and/or general stress.
Adhesion's can block circulation, be painful, limit movement, and/or cause inflammation.

The nostrils are attached to a part of the brain called the limbic system.
The limbic system controls emotions and influences the nervous system and hormones.
When we inhale essential oil molecules, the chemical constituents act as messages which are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system.
Essential oils are also absorbed through the skin.
Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to conditions involving stress, pain or improving emotionally-related conditions.

Firm yet gentle pressure of fingers stimulate specific energy points to promote the body's natural energetic self-curative abilities.
Theories vary on how or why, but scientist agree we are energy beings.
To understand acupressure massage and acupuncture, imagine an invisible pathway system running throughout the body, similar to images of the circulatory or lymphatic systems except ENERGY flows thru the channels vs blood & lymph.
