The impact this studio has had on my life is truly incredible--my physical well-being has improved tremendously, and I've found a great boost in my mental health as well. The community here is so supportive and encouraging! My absolute favorite classes are in "The Burn Room". The new next-door studio has infrared heating and red light therapy which create an amazing atmosphere that elevates the whole experience. I'm completely obsessed! Every class leaves me feeling energized and revitalized, and I genuinely look forward to each session. All the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They take the time to ensure you're using the correct form and adapting exercises to fit your individual needs. If you're considering trying Pilates, I highly recommend Body Alchemy. You won't regret it!

I walked to the meals from my cottage, and up to the pool almost daily. It was a beautiful and peaceful walk. I was concerned at first but my body quickly adapted. The meals were amazing. I had never experienced such a healthy and delicious cuisine. Most of it was locally-sourced and organic. They had lots of vegetarian options as well as vegan. That's not to say they didn't have wonderful desserts every night with dinner. I participated in several yoga classes. They have all kinds; fast, slow, Vinyasa, Yin, you name it. But they also have cultural classes on Lei making, hula dancing, salsa dancing, permaculture hikes and more. I was not bored for even a moment. If anything I needed to take a nap a couple times during the day for having been so active and busy. The people were friendly and helpful with lots of information about the locals and the community of Pahoa. They took us to Uncles market a local market/party every Wednesday night. If you have the option to do so I would also highly recommend staying at kailani for the Open Mic at least once it's fabulous. The pool is lovely but be fore-warned its clothing optional and there's a lot of nudity. There are lounge chairs to sit in and there's even a sauna area and changing rooms. I enjoyed two massage sessions while I was there. One was an apprentice massage which was just fine and very relaxing, the other was a Lumi Lumi Hawaiian massage which was amazing and different and just... quiet an experience. I would recommend it to anyone. I hope to return next summer on a sabbatical which is 30 days of participating in the community and it includes all of my lodging and meals and some massage work as well. It was hard to leave.

I'm new to the area, and was pretty bummed to leave a great team of integrative medicine folks in…read morethe SF Bay Area. After 3+decades of pretty intense athletic adventures, I originally called Heather for help with some niggling physical stuff (plantar fasciitis, hamstring tendinitis, a grumpy shoulder) and also some deeper, systemic stuff I was experiencing (which later turned out to be a thyroid and adrenal issue.) I have experience with several different types of Accupuncture- and on our first call Heather let me know that her method might be different from what I was used to. She emphasized that she uses a subtle, systemic rebalancing approach - and that while we would work on my specific issues, it might be a different process than I was used to. The truth is, I've never found two practitioners to be the same, and part of what I find so effective about accupuncture is that each practitioner has a framework that speaks to their own experience and their energy- at best it's a partnership where their methods, training and energy meet my present circumstances and behaviors, and the healing happens somewhere in the middle. That's what I've found here. In my life, accupuncture with heather is an important part of what I'm doing to feel better - in addition to working with a naturopathic doc and doing physio. Bodies take maintenance- we live in them every day- and working with Heather has helped not just the acute physical injuries, but also feels like it's gradually helping restore some of the general sense of wellness I've been lacking. I really love that Heather offers in-home treatment. Facing health challenges is an incredibly vulnerable, emotional process - and I couldn't have a better partner in what is definitely a journey toward feeling like myself again. Heather holds space for not just the physical healing, but also creates a safe container for talking thru - and feeling - the more emotional side of the process. Her vast technical expertise is matched her kindness. I'm grateful to Heather (and Yelp!) for walking with me thru what has been a wildly challenging wellness year.
