My History
Deborah’s training in the ancient Hawaiian Huna healing sciences of Lomi Lomi massage and Kahi Loa (energy balancing) are skillfully blended together in a gentle, flowing rhythm creating the sacred dance of the Huna Healers. Huna means unseen universal energies that flow within all life forms, and can be altered to encourage your natural ability of your body to heal itself. The Lomi Lomi or “hands of love” massage are guided by principals of self healing, breath work and focused intention to bring about relief, rejuvenation and deep peace within the center of your being.
Moving from Ontario to the island 7 years ago, she honors this community with volunteer work, participation in dance, music, healing arts workshops as well as sharing in the comraderie and economic growth of our downtown neighbourhoods.
Previous years of experience in social work counselling, child and youth services work, basic massage and customer service industries have fine tuned her listening skills toward the “hearing” and meeting of her clients’ needs. Ongoing studies of spirituality, holistic and metaphysical practices expand her keenly intuitive senses for healing and nurturance of the body, mind and soul.…”Sometimes the heart can see what is invisible to the eye”.
My Philosophy
The Hawaiian way of life is a philosophy, state of mind and way of being in “oneness”, for creating abundant health, joy and harmony through conscious living within the “Spirit of Aloha”. If you plan to visit Hawaii or can only dream of it, your taste of the island way is waiting for you right here in the heart of Nanaimo, BC.
My ongoing quest for harmony and peace within my own life has taught me that all life is our own creation of intention and will, along with a healthy dose of divine intervention. My beliefs, expectations, habitual feelings and actions create the experiences that shape the lenses through which I view my life. As I learn to become consciously aware of my thought patterns, I realize I have the power to alter them at my will. Deliberately choosing how I interpret and respond to the ups and downs of life, changes the outcome of the experience. Decide NOW in this moment to move toward greater peace within your own life through more frequent expressions of lovingness, gratitude, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness. In the words of a well known Hawaiian author, teacher and Kahuna Healer, Dr Serge Kahili King, PhD. “change your mind, change your life”.
Within a relationship built in an atmosphere of trust and respect, your “Being” will be honored and cared for with deep sensitivity. It is a sacred blessing to share in such an honest and powerful connection to the heart of another. I humbly thank you (mahalo) for this privilege. And may you allow yourself the “gift” of escaping into a soothing lightness of being, akin to floating on an ocean breeze. Come take a deep breath of Aloha!!
Mahalo and Blessings,
Deborah Lynn - “Kepola Lina”
