Hoʻōla Retreat: A Private Prayer & Fasting Experience in Hawai‘i

Healing, to me, has always been both practical and sacred. I’ve long believed that everything we need for optimal health has already been provided by our Creator—and that the body, when supported with the right tools, knows exactly how to heal. This belief ultimately led me to pursue naturopathic medicine and dedicate my life to helping others heal through holistic, evidence-based care. I completed my training at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in British Columbia and have been vegan for over 20 years. Nutrition has always played a central role in my personal and professional life. However, I also saw how challenging it was for many people to implement lasting diet and lifestyle changes on their own. As a result, I was inspired to create immersive retreat experiences and accessible at-home programs. These offerings are designed not only to educate but also to help people embody sustainable habits that truly support long-term healing. My clinical foundation includes advanced training in medically supervised water fasting from the True North Health Center in California. Since then, I’ve developed an integrative approach that includes: Therapeutic fasting coaching Functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine Personalized detox programs Semaglutide Injections for weight loss NAD+ IV medical detox IV therapy for energy, immunity, and recovery Together, these tools allow me to support each patient in a personalized way—whether they’re transitioning off medications, managing chronic illness, or simply looking to reclaim their energy and clarity. When someone walks into my office or joins one of my programs, I want them to feel truly heard. More importantly, I want them to walk away with hope—and with confidence in their body’s God-given wisdom and ability to heal.
