Testimonials
"I cannot recommend Ēwe ‘Oia'i'o highly enough. Her Lomi massage techniques and birthing positions class were essential in giving me a positive, natural birthing experience with incredible involvement from my husband. I felt deeply connected to my body and grounded in the Hawaiian traditions of healing. As a new mother, I was searching for natural ways to prepare for childbirth and support my postpartum recovery, and this course (Ku'u Ēwe) was a true game changer. "

"Pua is such an amazing person and was so helpful in navigating my pregnancy and birth journey. From around 12 weeks, I collaborated with her virtually, and her guidance was invaluable throughout the entire pregnancy. In my third trimester, Pua introduced me to various birthing and labor positions over facetime. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, I didn’t feel limited just because it was virtual! "
