CURRENT MISSION

To be humble and in gratitude!!!

ABOUT ME

My name is Amber Crago, and I am a life-long learner. I love to try new things (last year I competed in a triathlon) and learn from people around me. I have a strong sense of humor and optimistic outlook on life, which carries me far. LOVE the arts. I'm a live painter in Honolulu, and write and perform a lot of original music, sung and played on the guitar and piano. Massage therapy is my main job, though I've taught windsurfing and been a bi-lingual kayak guide in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii. Hiking, mountain biking, surfing, scuba-diving, COOKING, eating :D, traveling, backpacking, and aaah, the list goes on.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about choices, and understanding the power of manifestation! Find balance in yourself, and a strong connection with the Universe, the Divine, God, whatever you call it. Learn to make your dreams real!! Tomorrow's just a dream away, tomorrow's just a dream anyway.

Music, Movies, and Books

Haven't watched/owned a tv in years...movies aren't far behind. I loved Fight Club, that was the most recent great movie I saw. Books, Herman Heisse (sp?), Shantaram, Skinny Legs and All, The Four Agreements, Seat of the Soul, Hands of Light.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked Mauna Loa mountain on Big Island, Hawaii. 4 days and 50 miles, it was incredible and grueling. Photographed lava so close I worried my camera would melt. Scuba dove to 130ft off the coast of Kona. Did a night dive. Dropped in on an 8ft face wave (4ft hawaiian).
Can't wait to go skydiving!

Teach, Learn, Share

Breath is key in everything you do. I preach this to my clients during, before, and after massages. If you hold your breath, your body holds stress. Breath, breath, breath!
