Some of Our Testimonials...

“I have worked with Lahela for over ten years. We have shared as fellow teachers and educators with the Pilates, Franklin Method®, Massage, and other healing methods. I have experienced her ability to listen and her touch. She is intuitive and can guide her clients to self healing through her insights and gentle guidance on the path to health and well being.”

Pat Guyton, of Pat Guyton Pilates, Inc.

I met Lahela while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I wanted to do some Pilates, and she was recommended to me. As it turned out, I got way more than just a Pilates lesson. She became a professional mentor for me. She is also a Licensed Massage Therapist. (I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Pilates teacher) So, instantly, I could tell that she really knew her stuff. Lahela is a professional's professional. Everything she does is 110% over the top. She explains things so well. She follows up with detailed emails. She was able to see me twice during my vacation, and then followed up with a phone call when I got back home. I was so impressed! She gave me career advice/ direction that has helped shape my career. I just wish I could see her again and get more training!

“Lahela is knowledgeable in Pilates, Franklin Method®, and Massage, and uses that knowledge to best meet the needs of her client. She explains what is happening with the body and works at the level that is most beneficial, without injury. She also takes the time to suggest exercises to do at home and other therapies outside of her expertise which she thinks would be helpful. Lahela is very caring and patient, which is much appreciated.”

Suddenly I was looser and not stiff at all! I had a very stiff lower back for a week. My stretching at home wasn’t helping… I couldn’t get over how suddenly I was looser and not stiff at all. Mahalo for your help.”

Gail Tamaribuchi

Lahela is outstanding... Because she is trained in a variety of therapies (Pilates, Franklin Method®, Massage) she offers clients an understanding of body structure and mechanics plus the skills to address and help correct so many body-related issues. She can really make a difference.

HAASE MYOTHERAPY® COURSES TRANSFORMED ME AND MY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

How did I get here? I saw an ad for a Haase Myotherapy® course on social media -- and out of curiosity, clicked on the link. What drew me in were the techniques for "Carpal Tunnel" and Plantar Fasciitis.

I attended multiple times. That first year, I had thought a years-old injury to the right hand was long gone -- but I felt a strong, painful spasm one week before class started -- and I got worried about stamina. Classmates while learning the forearm and hand treatments in the first hour restored my hand -- and I was able to participate fully through the whole 2 days. So I signed up again. And again.

A favorite treatment is for the Diaphragm -- partly because I have seen and felt how BREATHING affects functional movement, flexibility, and posture. And partly because I saw how well it worked for clients in pain (since pain can lead to shallow breathing). I look forward to teaching you this treatment.

What have been career-changing are the incredible Hip Decompression and Low Back treatments. They made a local M.D. one of my biggest advocates. I'm so thrilled to share this work with you all. And I look forward to meeting you.
