"Gloria's Sacred Bodywork class opened my heart and mind and took me to that place of love we all yearn for. Gloria is a healer who can teach and a teacher who can heal. What a blessing for all of us" - C.Strelic, B.S., CMT
Gloria is a true "kumu," a teacher, a
source of knowledge and inspiration. Her guidance comes from an inner
strength which she nurtures within each of her students as we search
and mirror the grace known as Sacred Hawaiian LomiLomi. Effortlessly
weaving between science and art, Gloria's innate sense of touch is
heartwarming and rare. Those who study with her are gifted indeed. -M.

I traveled to NC to participate in a five-day lomi lomi
session this past year with Gloria. It introduced me to the best
instructor and mentor I have ever experienced and the whole nature of
my massage practice has been enlightened. My clients say there's just something different and more special about the massage I provide now. I got to experience another class
with her this fall and once again was enlightened and amazed! Only wish
I could travel wherever she goes to participate in more CE's! Rita Reilly, LMT
I first met Gloria, when researching for instructors for the World Massage classes,
I understood why so many therapists had recommended her. She is truly a
professional. She allowed students to project themselves into the class
and made it fun. She won me over with her talent, people skills and
light-hearted personality. I wish I had hundreds of instructors like
her. Gloria will be inducted into the 2011 Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. It is the highest honor and accolades, I can give her. She is a gem in our world!Festival. After attending one of her Lomi Lomi. Mike Hinkle (World Massage Festival)
I had invited Gloria to teach a 5 day lomi lomi workshop at the
college I teach at and I was truly amazed. She handled the 16 students
with no problems and she stayed focused the whole time. She has a gift
of feeling/seeing what direction the class was taking her and
she adapts to her surrounding wonderfully. It felt like she brought
Hawaii to Minnesota :) Ryan Hoyme www.MassageNerd.com
Everyone is at a different place in their journey. When I took the class, I wasn't 'ready' for the intensity, both spiritually and emotionally.
However, when I returned home, suddenly, I saw the world differently. I became IKE (aware), and I viewed reality as it really was. I was allowing myself to be mistreated personally and professionally. I was able to believe in myself and get out of those situations, start my own practice, and find healthy connections. Gloria has been a wonderful mentor along the way...

Discovering Lomi Lomi and taking this class is the best thing I have
ever done for myself and others.
Lomi is the most gentle,
Nurturing, kind and beautiful massage I have ever given or received.
If I could chose to give just one gift it would be this
one.
The experience of the class will change you completely. If you believe
you have experienced all you need to be as an accomplished massage therapist
then you have truly missed the best part of giving?
I would take this class
again and again. It gives you growth and self-awareness that will carry you beyond anything you could imagine. '
Truly special gift. This Lomi Lomi Class, is more that just a name, it is a blessing without words. Bring open heart and
the willingness to give and you will receive the most incredible
experience of your life!
