In 2011 I was at a crossroads in my life. Afraid to fail, afraid to succeed. Dr. Valerie served myself & other healthcare providers at Yayasan Bumi Sehat in Bali with healing tools of YOU KNOW MORE. Results were I was able to move forward into my most astonishing future.
Dr Valerie & I built a bridge from where I was to where I wanted to be. I was feeling constricted, stuck & old. I wanted to be healthier, connect with people & be fully engaged in life. This is where I am now because of Dr Valerie’s healing wisdom & presence every step of the way!

Maria is an excellent therapist who combines a variety of techniques depending on the needs of her clients. I was amazed at how she picked up certain issues in my body without me mentioning them. She is a very kind and caring person with very good energy.​
August 11, 2024 is the day I met Jessica Brazil as she graciously served fire victims on the west side of Maui. Her gentle approach with the crystal bowls left me in awe. One day she took my hand and said we will work together one day. And so it is! We are honored to have Jessica serve the world with us as well as collaborate with her business of Mindful Living Group.
I knew I would never be the same after this crisis, yet I had no idea how much I did not know. What do I really want in my life? You have opened doors for me that I shut decades ago. Today I know my value, embrace my innate gifts and I am willing to stand for me. I will continue to serve Maui. Mahalo.

This vagal nerve reset really works! I can’t believe it can be this easy. Today I will get out of bed, look in the mirror, recognize who I am again, and make wise choices as I continue to serve those I love.

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.

I was shocked yet pleased to be in the beauty of Lumeria and received the massage of such professional manner. My trained therapist took me to places in my body that I have visited since before the disaster. Thank you and eternally grateful.

The food! That lunch was incredible! We gathered family style on the deck, serenaded by Anthony Pfluke, fed by the beauty of the table appearance, gentle kind servers, humble chef and the food… the best I have had in months! Mahalo!

I have new meaning in my life. Watching so many people die and suffer from the Maui events, and examining how I have contributed through my creative service to bring hope and inspiration to my peers, and that my family has suffered through my absence, I served on the frontlines. My revelation that arose after our time together, gives me inspiration. I am now dedicated to my family first. My family is my purpose, and I am renewing my commitments to the community. Thank you for showing I do have options.
