In a blink of an eye... in a wisp of the wind... life changes. We know this truism was evident on 8/8 in Maui, Hawaii. Within seconds, the aina (the land that which feeds us), the people, the animals, and the dreams of a better tomorrow turned to ash as the fires altered the landscape so familiar to its residents. Today, we give gratitude for being able to serve our community with natural sustainable solutions that offer hope.

Front Line Workers, Health Care Providers, Educators, and Community Leaders frequently set aside their own well-being in order to continuously adapt to the needs of their students, schools and broader communities. This can unintentionally lead to a diminishment of the very vitality that inspired them to serve. Therefore, ensuring that these populations receive the support they need is paramount for the well-being of us all. We will build our resiliency together.
Restore kNOW More! is hosted by Dr Valerie & treasured guests in this 90-minute online interactive gatherings of like-minded individuals that selflessly serve. Designed to inspire the prioritization of self-care.
Through this program, we invite you to prevent, reduce and recover and restore by balancing your ABCs: Awareness/Alignment, Breath/Bodify, Contemplate/Connect.
Program Overview
Honoring your ancient innate wisdom you will go on the journey of self-reflection that leads to self-regulation, and thus self-restoration.
Utilizing craftivism, utilizing art to awaken and empower the activist within, you will create an internal environment that is fully resourced and functioning with purpose. Creatively you take these internal resources and express them in your external environments and bring ease and harmony to any life situation.
Outcomes/Goals
Understand how the vagus nerve travels through your body.
​
Create a cellular map of the nerval innervations & integrate into every cell in your body. This awareness, alignment, breathe, bodification, connect and contemplation, offers you the power to create self-regulation in any situation.
​
Remember and activate your passions held within your being.
​
Rejoice as you return to your true self, revere your greatest assets, repurpose outdated behaviors, restore yourself and experience a personal renaissance.
Honoring my basic survival needs here on Maui, I am grateful for the shelter you provided me in this storm of life. The physical and emotional food and water that fed my mind, body and soul. The rest I experienced in my bones as you created the space where I could rest, I am restored. Mahalo. I am grateful.

Enhanced Emotional Resilience
I knew who I was before these traumatic events. But I lost that as I served on the frontlines as one of the first volunteers that arrived on a boat, to offer medical care on the west side. Sleepless nights/weeks were filled with the needs of others until one day I realized there was nothing left within me. I was empty. Thank you for creating the retreat space where I landed back inside of me. The massage turned me inside, outside, upside down, and now I remember. The food and music nourished my physical and body. My tears stained the art as I understood how far I had gotten away from myself. My final art piece showed I am home in my body, grounded in my truths. I am valuable and remember to put my oxygen mask on first. Thank you for serving us in the is manner so I can continue to serve the people I love.

Physical Well-being
I was shocked that we would receive the massage of such professional manner. My trained therapist took me to places in my body that I have not visited since the disaster. Thank you and eternally grateful. ~ Maui Healthcare provider
This was a lovely workshop, with an opportunity to deeply reflect on my investments, interests, and what really drives me in my work. It allowed me to take stock of who I am amidst the busy.
