About Us

Integrative Awakening is a heart-centered healing business and retreat space focused on whole person healing. We specialize in psychotherapy, group and private retreats, yoga, energy healing, and meditation. We have a special focus on women's work, including women's empowerment, spirituality, trauma-informed and integrative care for attachment trauma and CPTSD.

We are located on the Big Island of Hawaii with an office in the town of Waimea and an ocean-view retreat home on the Kohala Coast. We share our gifts with great appreciation and reverence for the magnificent healing mana of the Aina we live and work on and collaborate with the power of this island to bring about the highest good for all .

We share the hope that we can be of service both to the local community and to those who visit the Big Island with the intention of healing and transformation.

HOLISTICally Centered

Integrative Awakening provides therapeutic practices to support individuals in their exploration of life's journey. Here, clients have an opportunity to expedite personal metamorphosis through a multi-modality healing experience that combines the very best of Western science with Eastern and Indigenous traditional healing methods.

The center appeals to persons seeking a deeper experience than standard 1-to-1 counseling or a weekly yoga class. Psychotherapy & counseling clients are encouraged - not required - to try yoga, meditation, breathwork, and other practices as an adjunct to therapy.

Clients seeking alternatives to therapy will find many avenues for personal transformation via healing services, classes, and retreats.
