History
Keola is Native Hawaiian, comes from a line of healers and he began learning Lomilomi at the age of 5 from his Tutu lady (who had learned from her grandma as well), it had been taught and passed down for generations within his family. Keola always knew he wanted to help people with his hands and felt it was his calling. Keola believes Lomilomi begins with aloha aina love for the land and its people and his grandma always told him in order to practice Lomi one must have lokahi (balance) with his body, mind, spirit, and emotions. He also studied with an alaka'i of Aunty Margaret Machado and Uncle Alva Andrews.
