Aloha! I am a massage therapist with great energy. I love to explore this world. I lived in Hawaii for 3 years, in Ecuador for one year and two years in the Sacred Valley of Peru. I am learning Spanish and want to practice more. I study about the Andean and jungle cultures of Peru.
I enjoy hiking, plants, indigenous cultures, dancing with fire, organic foods, drinking pure spring water, playing like children, swimming in the ocean, exploring the world, being of service, exploring ancient ruins, having epic conversations, sharing delicious meals, photography and climbing mountains.
My therapeutic skill set includes Structural Integration, Reiki, Chi Nei Tsang, ThetaHealing, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Trigger Point Therapy and myofascial release.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was an airbnb host living in Hawaii and hosted hundreds of people from all over the world. Sharing the local knowledge of awesome hikes, beaches and tropical fruits was one of my favorite things to do. I love meeting people from all walks of life. It is inspiring, educational and broadens my horizons. I have met a couple of the most wonderful and kind people through couchsurfing (with a friend of mine last year) and find this to be an amazing opportunity to build relationships and friendships of all kinds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a job as a mermaid in Hawaii for a year. I loved inspiring children, playing and splashing in the waves, sharing stories of life "under the sea", encouraging people to stay open to the possibilities of magic in their lives.

I spent my birthday this April at Machu Picchu...fantastic day hiking in the cloud forest and peaking the mountain!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have dedicated my life to service and healing, assisting whenever possible the evolution of our species. I like TEACHING. Some of my favorite topics to teach are: Reiki (I have taught hundreds how to activate the innate healing power in their own hands), Reflexology, self-massage, yoga postures and stretching, belly dancing moves, fire poi, how to prepare healthy vegetarian foods.

I am dedicated to LEARNING new things everyday of my life. I am always open to new topics, and I am mostly focused on improving my spanish skills, new dance moves-with/without fire, and about the indigenous prophecies and ceremonies of South America.

I LOVE TO SHARE. My favorite things to share are a healthy meal, healing touch, hugs and smiles.
