Amber W. LMT
Amber graduated from Mind Body Institute in Traverse City, MI in 2020. She loves and believes wholeheartedly in the mind-body connection. Relieving blocks in the emotional side of things as well as the physical is something that is extremely important to her. She believes massage is less of a luxury, but more of a tool for total mind and body health. She uses a blend of therapeutic techniques such as myofascial, trigger point, deep tissue, and Swedish massage. She focuses on problem areas while still allowing space for a meditative and tranquil experience.
It's an honor to be the high point of someone’s day, and to aid in their personal healing journey.
"This was my first visit to Ka lani and I thoroughly enjoyed my massage with "Amber". It was a relaxing hour with a masseuse who had just the right touch. I will definitely schedule again and am looking forward to my next visit. Also would like to mention also that the two receptionists were courteous and professional."
