Chelsea found her passion and began her journey as a licensed Massage Therapist in 2017 after graduating from Maui School of Therapeutic Massage in Makawao, HI. Alongside her traditional massage training in Deep Tissue, Swedish, and Sports Massage she has devoted much of her time to learning the Traditional Hawaiian healing modality of Lomi Lomi, along with Shiatsu and CranioSacral Therapy with over 1,200 hours of training and education.
She incorporates the traditional art of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi with western therapeutic massage. Her passion is to bring the Aloha Spirit into all of her work which focuses on aligning the body, mind, and spirit, bringing the entire Being back into a state of wholeness. She loves to support her clients into a place where they feel really good in their bodies; to relieve pain, promote relaxation, and to dig deeper into the truth of who they are. Her gift is helping people access the tools so they feel empowered to be able to maintain a healthy life.

I am currently a college student earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology. My career goals are to join the clinical psychology world either with children or tend my focus to women’s wellness, all with a holistic approach.
One thing about me is that I love to connect with all people, which is one of the many reasons I am in school to work as a mental health professional. During 2020 I started my own small business selling handmade dog bandanas. I taught myself how to sew, and began to sell them on ETSY. This year, I held my first vendor booth & I started selling in person.
When I am not doing school work or working, I find myself visiting with family and friends because quality time means the most to me. I also enjoy traveling, mainly to the beautiful Caribbean. At home, I have a chocolate lab named Hank. We spend most of our free time together cuddling or watching a good movie with some chips & salsa & watching the squirrels from our porch.
