Aloha. I am a Wodi Wodi person, originally from the Illawarra region of the Dharawal Nation. IÊ»m honoured to carry the teachings of Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage, with permission from Hawaiian Elder Kiliwelu Kamaka Iki AliÊ»i PaÊ»akaula Kamoa Kamoa (Papa K), and with guidance from my Kumu, Aunty Mahealani, who gifted me the name Nani Ke Aloha — meaning “the beauty of love.”
​
Iʻm the founder and primary teacher of the Institute of Living Aloha, where I have developed the Lomilomi trainings and pathways offered through the school. I teach the foundational Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage trainings, as well as the Teacher Training, supporting practitioners to step into this work with integrity, responsibility, and aloha.
​
My work is rooted in the way of aloha, supporting people to reconnect with their bodies, step into their truth and power, and walk their lives with presence, passion, and purpose.
​
I have been sharing Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage since 2003, and continue to learn with Hawaiian KÅ«puna (Elders) and KÅ«mu (teachers) in Lomilomi, Ho‘oponopono, Pa‘a, Hula, and other aspects of Hawaiian culture. This living, evolving wisdom informs every session, training, and teaching I offer, held with deep reverence and respect for lineage.
​
As a queer and non-binary person who walks in the middle of the gender spectrum, I bring a unique perspective and energy to my work. My teaching style and Lomilomi and Pa‘a sessions are nurturing, grounded, and clear. I am committed to creating spaces that prioritise consent, choice, and personal agency, where participants are invited to notice and respect their own boundaries, and are supported to engage at a pace that feels right for them.
