Who is One Wave?

WELINA! Welcome to One Wave - The Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu

As a Native Hawaiian wahine with over 35 years of expertise in occupational therapy, rehabilitation, mental health, and geriatric care, I bring both professional knowledge and personal healing experience to One Wave. My own healing journey led me to discover Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), a nature-based healing system that beautifully complements other healthcare approaches.

I began my lifelong study of JSJ in 2005, becoming certified as a JSJ practitioner and Self-Help Instructor of daily JSJ Self Care. I can personally testify to the transformative power of regular JSJ sessions and daily JSJ self care routine during times of emotional turmoil and significant health challenges.

I now serve women living with chronic illness or unexpected health challenges, offering a unique perspective shaped by my native heritage and holistic worldview. In 2022, I expanded my practice by becoming certified as a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner for animal companions, and I’m available to consult and share JSJ with your beloved pets.

My practice integrates evidence-based rehabilitation techniques with Jin Shin Jyutsu, an energy-based approach that works with your body’s systems - similar to how acupuncture or massage therapy affect the body, by using gentle touch to harmonize energy flow while honoring the body's innate desire to heal.

Through JSJ, I help individuals reset, achieve deep relaxation, and gain clarity - creating the foundation they need to reclaim their wellbeing and move forward with confidence. JSJ recognizes that illnesses impact us on multiple levels - physical, emotional, mentally and spiritually - and addresses the whole person, meeting you wherever you are in your healing journey.
