Kaleialoha, Patricia's Hawaiian name was given to her on a significant birthday by her dear friend, Haunani Hopkins. Haunani's interpretation of the name, Kaleialoha, means "an unending circle of love" and this so represents Patricia's commitment to this healing work. Her deep love of the Hawaiian healing work and culture continues as she shares this loving work with her clients, family and friends, and the community. She creates the opportunities and support for her students to grow and live the concepts of Lomi Lomi through educating the community by providing Lomi Lomi at local Hawaiian events, and special event fundraisers.
