Angie specializes in Injury Rehabilitation and Mana Lomi® massage, an ancient Hawaiian holistic approach to wellness passed down through generations. Lomilomi not only addresses muscles and tendons, but also explores the fascia and ligaments, movement of joints, alignment of bones, and emotional connections within the body. We work light to deep with the natural rhythm of your breath, affecting the nervous system and lymphatic complex while gradually working through several layers of soft tissue, penetrating deep “into the bones” where old and new traumas are hidden.
Lomilomi decreases muscle pain and tension by breaking up fibrous deposits and lactic acid, improving circulation of blood and lymph, eliminating toxins and edema, alleviating muscle spasm, and increasing metabolism. Angie combines her knowledge of anatomy with compassionate presence to create an individualized session based on your needs. She will empower you to see positive changes happening by helping you notice improvements, no matter how small they may seem.
She received her massage certification from the Maui Academy of Healing Arts in Kihei, a school that emphasizes a balance of therapeutic and energetic techniques. She began her studies in Lomilomi with kumu Jeana Iwalani Naluai and has completed advanced studies in Lomi with kumus Dr. Maka’ala Yates and Marcia York. Angie also has advanced training in Neuromuscular Therapy and a BS in Business Administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Angie has been physically active her entire life, with a foundation in soccer, volleyball, and softball. Having to rehabilitate from 4 knee surgeries, she is better able to understand aches, pains, and injuries of athletes. Over the past decade, she has deepened her mind-body-breath connection through tai chi, qigong, and yoga. In her free time, she enjoys being a bike commuter, walking in nature, and eating fresh local food.
Angie is a nationally certified practitioner and a member of the Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals. She provides coverage for Motor Vehicle Accident claims and is a preferred provider on most insurance plans that cover massage therapy.
