Janese Ululani

Janese was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawai'i, from a lineage of Kahunas. She is a Spiritual Guide, Clairvoyant and Healer
who helps people transform and free themselves from their karmic generational cycles, reconnect with their intuition, and rise into their full, authentic power, so they can remember who they are and live life with ease.

Janese went through her own journey of overcoming the overwhelm of being a sensitive empath and the fear that something was wrong with her. Experiences throughout her life began to awaken her connection to her ancestral gifts that had been buried under generations of silence, fear and shame.

In 2010, she found the Clairvoyant Center of Hawai'i and gained tools to develop her spiritual and healing abilities as well as begin to truly heal. She learned how to reclaim and embody the power of her lineage, not just for herself, but for the generations before and after her. She now lives as a shining example of standing in your truth.
