Patricia began her studies of Lomi Lomi in 1992 with Auntie Margaret Machado, and pursued further studies with Kumu Maka'ala Yates and Kumu Dane Kaohelani Silva all from the Big Island of Hawaii. Patricia continues her learning at Lomi Lomi Teachers' conferences through HHI and other workshops.
 
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.
