Tradition is so-o-o-o important in Hawaiian Culture. They will always ask you about your moʻokuʻauʻhau - genealogy - and you have to be ready to recite it - flawlessly. Without error. It’s an expected Protocol that everyone understands and respects. It tells them who you are and your level of skill. Because we have such a long, unbroken tradition we start at about 10 Generations back, reciting each Kahuna’s name and where they are from.

It’s good to know because it tells you you’re in safe hands and what you’re about to receive is untainted, intact, traditional healing treatments - 100% authentic healing and massage therapy every time. Contained within every treament, session and conversation is our 51 Generations of unbroken spiritual healing knowledge, wisdom and skill passed from Kumu to Haumana - teacher to student - as it has been done for centuries.

Not everyone who practices Lomilomi Massage, or other type of Hawaiian Healing, is a Lineage Haumana and not everyone who wants to be one will be invited in - there’s usually not too many of us. And, they all don’t make it through the years and years of training either (it’s really hard) or get invited to train as a Lineage Kumu, a whole other level.

True Nature is the sacred container for all of Kumu Nālaniʻs work - Hawaiian Healing including Hoʻoponopono, Lomilomi Massage Therapy, La’au ka Pule/Energetic Healing, and Teaching. TN signifies the depth of our Being, acknowledging and honouring our 51 Generations of Ancestors from the old times right up to our present day with Kumu Hula Anakala Pilipo Solatorio, teacher to Kumu Pa’a Lawrence Kalainia Kamani Aki, teacher to Kumu Pa’a Julia Nālani Adams.

It is with the blessing of Kumu Hula Anakala Pilipo Solatorio 49th Generation and featured in the video below, that Kumu Lawrence was able to bring these teachings out of the Valley of Halawa Molokai, the home of our Lineage, so you can experience them. Mahalo Uncle.
