UNFOLDED BY THE WATER ARE THE FACES OF THE FLOWERS
CUSTOM HEALING LEI - by special order
The physical and metaphysical actions of plants...
become activated when woven into an intentional structure and worn for ritual, transformative moments, and healing events. This is the aspect of lei making that has most suffered from the post-colonial models of seeing flowers only as adornment, yet in most indigenous cultures on Earth the wearing of aromatic leaves, blossoms, and roots is a key element in any healing process.
WHEN CAN A HEALING LEI SUPPORT BODY and MIND?
It has been my practice and privilege as a lei practitioner and herbalist to create healing lei for clients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, processing divorce, engaging in psychadelic-assisted PTSD therapies, suffering from Alzheimer's effects, or grieving a loved one. The lei can also be used in bathing rituals, water births or therapeutic soaks, to release hydrophilic phyto-chemicals for babies, children, or anyone seeking this type of healing.
WHAT ABOUT CELEBRATIONS?
While most weddings in Hawai`i feature lei, and all graduation celebrations are filled with them, when I am honored to create lei for these occasions I look to the transformative energies of plants and flowers to elevate these experiences onto the spiritual plane. A graduation is a rite of passage, from youth to adulthood; a wedding is the transformation of the individual into the couple; a birth of a baby is the birth of a mother and father and family. As we pass through the portals of childhood, of maidenhood, of healing crises, and of death, we are meant to become the next evolution of ourselves. Yet how do you create this potent experience? How can you bring more mindful intention to these celebratory moments? I take great care in choosing the plants and flowers to help us ascend during these vital rites of passage.

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how this ancient and revered practice of making and wearing lei can amplify this moment in your life.
Aloha pau`ole, (unending aloha)
