About Gloria

Gloria embodies the rich tapestry of Hawaiian-Samoan heritage as a third-generation healer, deeply rooted in the ancient wisdom of Polynesian traditions. With an innate connection to the Mana, the spiritual life force energy believed to flow through all things, Gloria carries forth a legacy of authentic healing passed down through generations. 

Raised in the lush landscapes of Hawaii, Gloria’s journey as a healer began from a young age, nurtured by the whispers of her ancestors and the vibrant energy of the islands. As a young girl, she was immersed in the sacred practices and rituals of her lineage, honing her intuitive abilities and channeling the Mana with grace and reverence.

For over five decades, Gloria has dedicated herself to the art of healing, specializing in guiding others through the intricate pathways of grief and loss. With a gentle yet profound understanding of the human experience, she recognizes that grief is not merely a mental or emotional burden but a somatic one as well, stored within the very fibers of the body.

Drawing upon her vast reservoir of knowledge and the wisdom garnered from her own encounters with loss, Gloria offers a holistic approach to healing that transcends conventional methods. Through the fusion of ancient Polynesian practices, bodywork, and compassionate coaching, she creates a sacred space for transformation and renewal, where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Gloria works with adults and teens, guiding them with unwavering compassion and kindness as they navigate the depths of their grief. In Gloria’s hands, grief becomes not a burden to bear but a sacred journey of remembrance, acceptance, resilience, and ultimately, renewal. Through her profound wisdom and lived experience, she illuminates the path toward healing, inviting others to reclaim their innate wholeness and embrace the fullness of life once more.

Prior to starting her private practice, Gloria was honored to work at the Sensei Four Seasons – Lana’i, the Mandara Spa at Hilton Hawaiian Village – Oahu, the Spa at Trump Hotel – Oahu, and with many individual clients throughout Hawaii and California.
