"From disconnection to lineage, from loss to knowing — I guide women home to themselves."

Welina Mai! Hi there, I’m Julia Nālani — Kumu, healer, teacher, and guide for women who need some time to themselves, are ready to find and (re)connect to who they truly are.

As a teen, I disowned my Polynesian heritage. I was ashamed of my brown skin. My father, my first Teacher in Spirituality, Healing, and Lomilomi, passed away when I was young — leaving me with questions and a deep unacknowledged longing that would shape my journey.

From Corporate Life to Purpose

I became a Corporate Executive, using my creative mind to shape ideas, create training, mentor, and trail-blaze new ways to do things. But the world I had built wasn’t enough, and after my self-designed solitude retreat on the side of a mountain. I made the choice to step away and dedicate myself to helping women find who they truly want to be. In the process I found more of me.

Spiritual Awakening and Lineage

Training in Holistic Psychotherapy and Eco-psychology revealed that true healing begins at the spiritual level. This ignited a flame to reconnect with my Tahitian-Norfolk Islander heritage. I began with Lomilomi Massage training, which opened questions I couldn’t answer (and either could my Teacher) — until I found my Kumu. I trained deeply and was recognised as a Kumu of his Lineage, entrusted to carry forward these sacred teachings.

Carrying the Work Forward

Alongside my lineage training, I hold post-graduate university qualifications in Business, Holistic Psychotherapy, Coaching, Mentoring, Eco-Psychology and Alternative Dispute Mediation, and training in Remedial Massage. I learned Lomilomi in childhood and later returned to train in it again, along with the other Healing Methods of our Lineage like Hoʻoponopono. As a Lineage Kumu, my role is not only to practise, but to hold, protect and pass on the Teachings in their entirety — the ways of thinking, living and being that allow these Practices to remain whole for future generations. This commitment to continuity is what shapes the work I offer today.

Guiding Women Today

Today, I guide women through healing, alignment, and personal growth. Through Hoʻoponopono, Lomilomi, Community Hula, Mentoring. Dispute Mediation and Courses, I help women clear what weighs them down, reconnect to their spiritual foundation, find and themselves, and boldly step into that clarity feeling light, purposeful, joyful and grounded.

I kēia manawa - the time is now. You deserve the time and investment in yourself - no guilt, it’s time for you..
