As a sufferer of osteoarthritis, I found Deborah’s kind and gentle approach very comforting and refreshing. Some other massages have given me only temporary relief and have also left me in pain on occasion, but not Deborah’s Hawaiian massage. It is the most healing, soothing, and inspirational massage I have experienced to date. It was nurturing not just for my sore body, but for my grieving heart and aching spirit. It is a complete healing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone, especially
with arthritis concerns.

Many people think that once retirement has come, all of life’s problems and stresses disappear. Not so. In fact most retirees say that life can become even busier. That is why it was such a treat at the summer blues festival to be one of the lucky winners of a gift certificate for an hour and a half massage with Deborah. She is a warm, understanding person and I immediately felt comfortable putting myself into her hands. Her massage is an experience that is both physical and spiritual. She covers all the senses from the smell of the fresh cedar boughs, flowers, the delicate aroma of the sweet almond oil, to the delicious sips of fresh spring water. I enjoyed the inviting warm room with interesting art work and the soft sound of the beautiful music while she works her magic on all the sore muscles of the body. I left feeling relaxed, energized and uplifted. I can give Deborah’s Hawaiian Touch Massage my full endorsement. Besides using it for my own benefit, it has also been the perfect gift to give to friends and family.

Dear Deborah, thank you for a wonderful experience from the moment of entering your sanctuary home, to entering the sacred massage room. The “temple” version of a massage that scooped up parts of my body from underneath and cradled my head, opened all my body centers. The head, face, feet and hands massage connected my energy with a completeness that satisfied my disjointed soul. The gentle nurturing touch made me feel really really supported by the universe and I still carry a deeper inner peacefulness. You conduct yourself and your business very beautifully.Your have been a blessing and I want to express deepest gratitude for assisting my journey forward. Thank you for a wonderful and whole experience today.

This amazing body treatment from Deborah whisked me away to another place and time. I entered a profound state of deep relaxation and found myself surrounded by warmth, luxurious touch, and intense energetic healing. Deborah opened my heart charka and through her caring and sensitivity, invited healing and a deep sense of comfort. Throughout the session, I felt I was in a spiritual and exotic environment that was sacred and fearless. Deborah constantly remained responsive to my needs, and the entire time I believed she was there only for me!â€As a dance instructor and performer, I well appreciate the benefits of regular massage. Body treatment is as critical to the muscles and creative flow as sun and water are to plants. Over the years I have been to many body work practitioners, but Deborah’s approach melted my body like butter – from head to toe! I found myself trying to maintain the great feeling for as long as I could after treatment. A must if you haven’t yet tried it!

My first experience of lomi lomi massage was with Deborah . I found it to be a unique and positive experience. She takes the time to explain the process, helps you to relax and feel safe before the massage even begins, and then she performs her “magic”. Deborah is skilled at easing tight muscles while using her intuition to open energy channels. I trusted and was willing to let go of any barriers to allowing myself to release and shed layers of tension. I highly recommend lomi lomi massage to anyone who is looking for something different with authentic powerful, positive results. Deborah offered expansion for my open my wings.

She is professional, respectful and a great listener with a true gift in the art of massage which extends beyond the usual concept of massage therapy. She answered all my questions with a great wealth of knowledge and an interest in my personal circumstance. The massage is unhurried, relaxing and a wonderful experience.I would and have recommended Deborah who uses her gift to help others with enthusiasm, expertise and joy. She is a true professional.

As a dance instructor and a person who had a highly physical job for many years, I highly recommend hawaiian massage as a very beneficial treatment. In dealing with stress, chronic pain and the forces of gravity upon our bodies, we can all benefit from this type of massage. My old injuries and chronic aches were greatly relieved and lomi lomi has quickly become a very important part of my regular fitness and wellness regime. My dancers feet never felt so good………you don’t have to go to Hawaii to feel how wonderful this massage can be…Deborah is a spiritual, giving , healing, loving goddess of light……..thank you!!

Having worked in my own massage practice for over 20 years I have experienced many styles of bodywork and practitioners. I have had the pleasure of training with Deborah in the art of lomi lomi massage, as well as receiving sessions from her. She is a dedicated, talented channel for loving, healing energy. Her skill, enthusiasm and positive, caring attitude create a wonderful massage experience.
