Holistic Honu Wellness Center

Welcome to the Holistic Honu Wellness Center, a place of healing, cultural preservation, and education. Established on November 24, 2004, and receiving our 501(c)(3) status in February 2006, we have proudly served as a California not-for-profit healing center devoted to upholding and sharing the wisdom of the Hawaiian culture through education and healing.

At the Holistic Honu Wellness Center, we believe that true health and well-being can only be achieved when we address the spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects of an individual. This holistic approach, passed down by our ancestors, forms the foundation of our mission to create lokahi, or harmony, in the lives of those we serve.

Our range of cultural healing services is designed to honor and preserve the rich traditions of the Hawaiian people. We offer hooponopono/counseling to bring about reconciliation and balance, laau kahea/prayers and chants to uplift and heal, laau lapaau/herbal therapy to harness the natural remedies of the land, and lomilomi/touch therapy to restore physical and spiritual alignment.
