Aloha my dear clients,

I’m writing this to you today not just as a therapist, but as a human being, a mother, and someone who deeply cares.

So often in life we keep going, pushing through tiredness, stress, and pain. We tell ourselves we’ll slow down later. But the truth is simple and sometimes hard to hear: we only have one body and one life.

I truly believe in bodywork because I live it. Even I receive massage, cupping, or lymphatic drainage at least once a month. I do this because I want to stay healthy, present, and strong; not just for today, but for the years ahead.

My deepest reason is this: I want to be functional and useful for my kids, my future grandkids, and for society. I want to be able to move, laugh, help, hug, and show up fully. I don’t want to just survive life, I want to live it.

From my own experience, and from watching so many of you over the years, I have seen how regular bodywork gently changes lives. It calms the nervous system, supports immunity, releases stored tension, and brings the body back into balance. These changes may feel small at first, but over time they are powerful.

Please don’t wait until your body is broken, exhausted, or crying for help. Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it is an act of love. When you care for your body, you are caring for everyone who depends on you.

If you can give yourself one gift this year, let it be this: listen to your body and honor it.

Thank you for trusting me with your body and your well-being. It is an honor I never take lightly.

With love, gratitude, and aloha,

Ivana

Owner, Hawaii Natural Therapy

P.S. An invitation to consistency

If you are ready to prioritize your body in 2026, we want to make it easier for you to stick to that promise.

For those looking to build a monthly routine, we are waiving the Enrollment Fee on our Wellness Memberships all month long. As a little encouragement, we are also gifting new members a Recovery Kit (featuring a trigger point massage ball) to help you stay loose between visits.

If you need more flexibility due to travel or a busy schedule, we have also opened up our 5-Pack and 10-Pack series. These allow you to lock in your rate for the year without a monthly commitment.

You can view both options or book your first session here:
