Company Name: Wailā'au Road
Fun Fact: I'm a forest girl. I'm 5'11", size 11 shoes, my maiden name has the kanji for "tree" in it and I named my home office "The Treehouse"
About your company: Wailā'au Road inspires a return to brilliance, wholeness, and wonder. We are a health and wellness business that serves our clients with acupressure services, holistic health education, and handmade artisan products. Where there is balance and flow, peace and joy can flourish.
Why you started: I experienced two incredible and very contrasting worlds in my upbringing. One was located in a small town on Kaua'i, saturated in colorful plants, handmade projects, and the connection of multiple generations in my family. The second was based in the city of our state’s capital, surrounded by concrete, centered around book-smart academics and institutionally standardized benchmarks of success. Living the contrast was neither good nor bad, but instead, gave me so much insight on what success feels like to me. Being an entrepreneur allows me to help people solve their problems. Being in the health and wellness space allows me to impact their hearts and their families. Doing that well is success to me.
