“Kīpuka Farmacy” has been Kumu Dane’s dream.
The concept is grow Hawaiian medicinal plants such as ūhaloa, noni, mamaki and provide them to the community, involve and inspire people, raise awareness about taking care of oneself, family, community and Mother Earth to perpatuate their culture.
We were very fortunate to pay visit to the garden. We spent very precious time with aunties: listening to their stories and sharing food and getting our hands on the weeds!
I felt Kumu Dane’s presence which felt like heart warming. Finally I made it to your dream garden…
I look forward to next visit already!
I am very thankful to aunties for having us and to Kumu Kuʻuleinani .ola for connecting us with them🙏

Lomi Noho class has completed successfully!
My client and her son took the class together. He is a gymnast and very interested in bodywork. A quick learner, down to earth and takes care of his mom who has been through a challenging time with her health.
The class was filled with good energy and so much love which brought me back to the Kumu Dane’s teaching:
“Healing is 80% Mana and 20% is Aloha.”
I am truly grateful to Kumu Dane who is the source of my Lōkahi Lomilomi knowledge.
Kumu Yumiko Ku’uleinani thank you so much for your continuous support keeping the door open to those who has sincere desire to learn Kumu Dane’s healing art🙏

It’s been 3 years since I last visited Hawai’i. I said farewell to Kumu Dane who is my source of Lomilomi. Time flies…
It is very important to have connection with the island and its people, make effort keeping it alive to be authentic. By doing so you can be in touch with true “ traditional” Hawaiian healing art Lomilomi.
And yes, learning never ends!

“Healing is 80% Mana, and 20% Aloha” - Kumu lomi Dane Kaohelani Silva
Lomilomi is a distinctly Hawaiian form of traditional therapy. The fundamental knowledge was brought to Hawai’i over 1,000 years ago by the Polynesian people before passing down through generations of Hawaiian families to evolve into this healing art. It realigns the body, releases energy blockages and heals and restores a sense of wellbeing within oneself.
My Kumu (guide instructor), Dane Kaohelani Silva is a native Hawaiian and has a traditional lineage of many generations. He is the first chairman of Hawaiian Lomilomi Association. Hawaiian health philosophy teaches us that Akua ( creator), Kanaka ( humans) and ‘ Aina ( nature) are all interconnected. When they are Lokahi ( in balance) Mana( spiritual healing energy) is enhanced. Lomilomi starts with a P**e( prayer) to connect each element. Nature is harnessed in treatments by using heated stones, plant based therapeutic oil and touch. Kumu teaches us “More mana more healing. No mana no healing”.
Lokahi lomolomi methods and techniques originate from Lua ( Hawaiian martial art). They treat muscle/skeletal frame and stimulate the nerve system. Lokahi lomilomi practitioners tailor each session based on your needs. Muscle tension is released by applying different pressures using palms and forearms. Joint movement is restored to frozen joints through dynamic stretching techniques. The aim of your tailored consultation is to bring you back to PONO - the state of balance between body, mind and spirit.
May 2018, after 6 years of study Lokahi Lomilomi under Kumu Dane, I am certified as an first instructor in South Australia. I hope this healing art will reach as many people as possible...
