My name is Andy. I am a healing arts practitioner, providing integrative holistic healing sessions based on the North Shore of Maui.
After a decade of immersion in the vibrant world of creative arts, I transitioned into the realm of wholistic movement and healing. My personal odyssey through health struggles led me to an exploration into nontraditional healing modalities, holistic nutrition, and Eastern philosophies.
My Journey
I felt a deep passion to be in service to others, so my path began as a dedicated rehabilitation-based Pilates teacher for the last 15 years. My foundation was a built upon an in depth training into our anatomy and physiology with specialized training in corrective exercise and postural alignment. Pilates offered me a way back in my body after years of disassociation that I am eternally grateful for.
I soon became certified in Aromatherapy and resumed my lifelong love affair with plants and flowers connecting me closer to my Andean ancestry. This connection re-sparked an inner knowing from my childhood, a re-connection with the plants and the flowers. My aromatic studies deepened years later with a more intricate look at the way these medicinal oils assist our bodies therapeutically. I delved into their wisdom which inspired me to share these transformative practices with others on their own paths toward this whole body wellness.
With the birth of my daughter, all the deep rooted traumas I thought I had confronted in past years were birthed as well, no longer to ignore. This became the catalyst of an even deeper whole body healing for years to come. I embraced an array of modalities, from breathwork, shadow work, to plants, and somatic work. I then found the Reiki Way. It helped me find a way of peace in my body I had never felt before, enacting my nervous system to find stillness and rest. Following the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage, I was attuned to Reiki Master after many years of study. My background of physiology, trauma work, essential oils, helps ground the energy medicine and make it a tangible experience for all.
In my practice, I aim to honor the uniqueness of each individual by crafting sessions tailored to their specific needs.
Recognizing that EVERYBODY and every BODY is distinct,
I approach each session with a deep understanding of the intricacies between physical, emotional, and spiritual elements. I want to empower clients to embark on their own transformative path that honors their individuality and fosters profound healing that THEY are truly responsible for. I do not “cure” anyone. I am just here to facilitate and help give voice to your own intuition and strength on this lifelong path.
I am devoted to fostering an environment of INCLUSIVITY and ACCEPTANCE, where all individuals are welcomed without judgment or discrimination.
Rooted in the principles of trauma-informed care, I approach each client with sensitivity and compassion, recognizing the unique experiences and challenges they may bring. By creating a safe and nurturing space, I empower clients to explore their healing journey at their own pace, honoring their individual needs and boundaries.
Beyond individual healing, I am committed to being a catalyst for positive change in the world. By embodying the values of empathy, integrity, and activism in my practice. I strive to create ripple effects of healing and transformation that extend far beyond the confines of my healing space. I care deeply about leaving a positive impact on the world.
I carry so much gratitude in my heart to all my elders, teachers, and mentors that came before me. I am in deep reverence for all their different lineages and teachings. And of course thank you to my clients and students, for the loyalty and dedication they show not only to me, but more importantly to themselves.
I deeply and passionately believe in living reciprocity with the land and each other. Through redistribution of funds, we give back to the people, places, and land.
