There was a slight issue with scheduling online, so Jacqueline texted me late at night, which I sincerely appreciated because it would not have been fun to drive all the way to Hawaii Kai to find out I couldn't get the massage. It wasn't a massage like you would get from a massage therapist, but rather the modality has to do with energy healing. Everyone's experience highly varies depending on a multitude of factors, but if you believe that reiki healing is what you need, then see my friends at Honolulu Reiki. It's not cheap, but what is self-care worth to you?

She is very knowledgeable of reiki and she has an awesome energy. Best I can describe it is confidently loving.

Michael Mazzella owes me 200k and he has stated in multiple emails that he does not intend to pay…read moreme back. I attended his courses in Honolulu and we made an investment deal in 2017. We signed a contract that I would lend him 200K and he would pay that back to me PLUS interest after one year. It has been 3 years now and he has paid back nothing. When I attended Mazella's course, I remember another man who was there, telling me that he was waiting on Mazella to pay HIM back...I should have seen that red flag and ran. Since the deal, I have become a quadruple amputee and I am 82 years old...the stress and heartache on me and my family has been unbearable. Now more than ever, with healthcare costs, long term care, I am depending on that repayment. I trusted this man and wish I hadn't. I have emailed him multiple times. Our contract stated I would be repaid with in ONE YEAR. He told me that he is 100% uncollectible because he does not hold assets in his name so there is no forced collection, levy or garnishment...and to not throw my good money after "bad." I interpret that to mean that he didn't have any plan to pay me back. In a recent email, when I asked him point blank : Do you have any intentions of repaying anything, this was his reply: "I've already answered this question. Twice in fact. Yet you keep asking as if doing so will change the answer. So I'm gonna answer it one more time. No. We have to wait until the deal resolves itself...If and when the foreclosure concludes and wipes out your interest, then you have lost money, and then we have that discussion. In the meantime you might want to consider lawyering up to protect your interests against the 1st position lender, who has named you as a defendant." Ultimately, the "Honolulu Mentor" or "Turtle Bay Mentor's" advice to me was to lawyer up, and my advice to anyone taking his class, is please do not make the same mistake I did by trusting this man...and the more I talk to people the more I find people just like me, in this situation with someone who did not hold up his end of the deal.

If you want to learn how to invest in Real Estate in Hawaii, Honolulu Mentor is the hands down best…read moretraining and mentoring you can get. Your instructor and mentor, Michael, will teach you the right way to invest in any market. Just be ready to learn new concepts vs old school ways of thought about money, banking and real estate. In Michael, you have a mentor living and actively investing in Hawaii. I know quite a few graduates of the mentoring course who are very successful real estate investors after taking Michael's course and wanted to be successful as a real estate investor myself. Not knowing exactly what to expect I enrolled in the mentoring. Talk about drinking information from a fire hose! It's a lot to absorb during the week long course. He not only covers how to find deals and fund deals, ground you in the important fundamentals of real estate investing and will teach you from the ground up. Not only that, he teaches goal setting, who you need on your power team, critical thinking as well as mastermind groups. I really enjoyed the hands on training provided by going out to deals he has in progress. It comforting to know that even after graduating, I know that he is available for questions for up to 30 days. I'm am now a graduate of Honolulu Mentor and feel confident, because of Michael, I am now on my way to create the best year of my life! THANK YOU, MICHAEL! You're my hero!

On Oahu, in order to get a gun you need a slip of paper that says you took a basic training class…read morethat meets the state's requirements. L.I.F.E. is the cheapest class you can take to get that piece of paper BUT it's a fun, quality class with great instructors. The class material follows the NRA basic training guide and covers gun safety, gun components, ammunition components, hire to soon, different stances, etc. Different instructors cover the different parts; so, it's interesting to hear their backgrounds and witness the different personalities and teaching styles. Hawaii gun laws are also covered. What I liked about this section is that the instructor for this portion, Bill, doesn't just spit out the wording verbatim. He explains how these laws came to be, some history, and how they apply to you in various situations. Example: if someone is assaulting your child and you grab your gun and head downstairs to confront the assaulter, if the assaulter leaving by the time you come down, you can't shoot because you're not preventing anything... The person is leaving. Then the fun part.... Shooting! I was nervous, who wouldn't be? But the instructors are great at making you feel comfortable because of their expertise and step by step instruction. We had 8? Instructors and 16? Students in class, so there wasn't a long wait and you can hop to different instructors and fire different guns. I fired at least 15 different guns, from Glock 17, 17L, 19, Springfield XD-9, Taurus 66, Ruger .22 Mark 3 Target, .40, .45, .38. What's great about different instructors is that they'll show you something a previous instructor didn't mention, little tricks they do, etc. The class is held once a month. You can check the website for times and registration. The basic class was held at Kokohead Shooting Complex from 8 to 4. Be sure to go 30 min early for registration. I came 15 min early but they were late setting up so I got lucky. When you register, an email is sent confirming your spot and telling you everything you'll need for class and where to go. They provide snacks and drinks. It gets hot out there. Stay hydrated. BOTTOM LINE: Best deal you're going to get. A great class, a great time! If you're looking to get that piece of paper, sign up here!

I was looking for a driving instructor for my teen and saw all the positive Yelp reviews for Hawaii…read moreDriving Academy. Jay was a wonderful teacher! He has a "can do" positive attitude. He was extremely responsive and answered all my questions over the phone before the first lesson. He is very patient, always came on time and had a face mask on for every lesson. After each lesson, he would message me on my teens progress. Jay was very easy to work with and I felt he and I were able to work together to achieve our goals. It was also very easy and convenient to pay for our lessons via payment app. Our teen passed on the first try!!!

Jay is an amazing instructor for both beginners and experienced drivers…read more I had to take the drivers road test after having a drivers license in the US for 26 yrs in 3 States (NJ HI CA ) , during COVID my CA license expired so the quickest way to get a HI license was to retake both written and practical tests all over again I was shocked I failed the 1st time I took the driving test in Kapolei . Since I was desperate to get a drivers license ASAP since I needed a 2nd form of govt issued ID for passport renewal so I was referred to to Jay and only spent 1 (90min) session with him to give me tips on how to pass and took me to the exact route where I was testing in Sheridan (2021) and passed ! I actually learned a lot from him despite being a licensed driver since I was 16yo (took HI drivers test at age 49) My daughter recently passed her drivers test as well and Jay made her drive confidently having had a PTSD/ fear of driving due to a car accident we had years ago when she was in 3rd grade which stopped her from wanting to learn how to drive and Jay was very patient in teaching her and now drives safely, confidently and very courteous driver on the road ! Awesome job Jay! You're very good and patient instructor ! I have highly recommended you to all my friends!

His ability to sense into the layers of the body, listening for what needs to release and following it all the way through in the proper sequence is remarkable.

Kyle is incredibly gifted at what he does, and it is an experience unlike any other - well worth the investment!

I had just called this school with a Portlock address in Honolulu HI. I found this school on Yelp…read more I just wanted to get some information on classes, costs, and type of training they offer. A woman answered the phone saying "Yes?". I asked if this was the driving school. She answered "yes". I then stated I would like to get some information on the school, and she told me she was full and not taking new students. I was left with that information. I was assuming she meant the class she has now is full. But with the response I received, it leads me me to believe she will not have another class in the future, or is not interested in giving me information on any future classes.
