The hulas that she now shares come from Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, a Kumu Hula, healer and kahuna. She was a member of the Na 'Olapa O Ka La hula troupe in Florida and ........ in Kaua'i, Hawai'I; and continues to perform solo for private parties and organizations throughout the US and Canada, including the Le Festival Mondial de Folklore de Drummondville in Quebec, Canada.

She has been a certified voice specialist and a therapeutic music practitioner for over 20 years; has completed her training in Tama-Do, vibrational sound therapy that incorporates sound, movement and color; and is a certified Voice BioAnalysis©™ practitioner. She has studied Hawaiian spirituality with Kahiliopua Wong-Brentlinger, huna with Serge Kahili King, Huna Mua with Phil Young, and Self-Identity Ho'oponopono with Dr.
