Kealoha isn't just a massage therapist; she is a true healer. She senses what your body needs and her massage is very focused and releasing. She specializes in deep tissue​ massage, and she will follow your request to lighten or deepen her touch. I have been her client for 8 years and can honestly recommend her. read more

I have knee problems and thigh tightness. Saw chiropractor/saw my naturopath. Both helped some. Kealoha is really masterful. I say trust her, she can sense what needs to be worked on. I don't live on the Big Island- but will be back. Will highly recommend her to a few friends. read more

After 4 years of dealing with a chronic back issue, and going to numerous specialists, I have finally gotten some relief and a direction for healing going forward! Kealoha is truly a healer is every sense of the word. Her ability to diagnose an issue, and treat it, is simply magical. If you're still on the fence after reading all these glowing reviews, know that I am looking at flying internationally just to continue treatment with Kamaaina Healing. read more

Kealoha is a supreme GIFT. She is hands down one of the BEST healers I have ever worked with. I was able to release decades of repressed emotion stored in my tissues and increase my mobility in just one session. Three days later and I am feeling joyful, peaceful, and present due to zero pain or tension in my body. Wow! She is kind, efficient, powerful, intuitive, gracious, and funny. I laughed and cried hard. I am so grateful to have met with Kealoha a 4th generation descendant of Lomi Lomi medicine. She is the REAL DEAL. Mahalo Nui Loa. read more

The Healing that took place had long lasting effects for me. The positive energy that followed me out the door that day noSo much gratitude for your Healing hands Much Aloha read more

I met Kealoha at our local contrast therapy (sauna/cold plunge) space in Asheville. I had been spending the last 3 months trying every holistic approach possible to deal with an Ulnar Nerve entrapment to avoid what my orthopedic doctor told me would likely be an inevitable surgery. My routine for the first 6 weeks or so consisted of PT 2x per week, acupuncture every week, lots of stretching, ice/heat at home, bracing, and several massages. I even took a week off work just to rest. Throughout that time I experienced little to no improvement in my symptoms (pain, numbness, weakness, inflammation). I scheduled a surgery date but continued with everything I had been doing while adding even more to my routine. Next I decided to focus on inflammation. I cut out alcohol, focused on a strict plant based anti-inflammatory diet, and started practicing contrast therapy 2-3x per week. Over the course of next month I saw quite rapid improvement, enough so that I pushed back my surgery date. Unfortunately, that improvement plateaued and I even declined a little bit. I then started seeing a chiropractor. When I say I tried everything, I really believed I had, but I was still open to ideas. I met Kealoha on one of my regular trips to the sauna. She overheard me speaking to a woman about my chronic nerve issue and thankfully chimed in with her wisdom on the subject. She believed the entrapment was likely muscular which was what I had started to suspect myself. I asked if she thought she could help me and she confidently said she could. With one day left in North Carolina, she agreed to meet me after work the next night. She managed to borrow a car and a massage table at the last minute and came to me with a kind heart and a determination to help me heal. I had read some of her patient testimonials and was a little bit nervous about the level of intensity and the pain/discomfort I may feel in my session but, again, I had been keeping an open mind and heart and I understand that pain is an essential part of healing. Plus all of the reviews I read were glowing dedications to her healing work so I knew I had to give it a try. While the experience did involve quite a bit of pain, I felt safe, comforted, and cared for by Kealoha. I fully trusted her and she guided me through the discomfort, reminding me to breathe and speaking gently to me throughout. I have never experienced a hands on healer who had such a level of wisdom/knowledge of the body and such an obvious sense of intuition and connectedness. She pointed out problem spots I hadn't even told her about and found problem spots I didn't even know existed. I truly believe she did more for me in an hour than a lot of the other practitioners I had seen did for me collectively. My session with Kealoha put me back on the road to natural healing. The only disappointing part is that I will not be able to see her again, at least not any time soon. I believe another session or two with her would potentially get me to a very confident point in my recovery. And I would 100% see her on a regular basis for maintenance and anything else I was struggling with if she was local. I have a lot of chronic pain, tension, and muscular degeneration from past injuries and stress. I would trust her with all of it. If you are looking for a true healer that you can trust, I highly encourage you to consider Kealoha. I am so grateful for our serendipitous meeting, for my introduction to a traditional (yet new to me) method of healing, and for her willingness to make time for me right before she left town. Thank you, Kealoha! If you ever come back to Asheville I would love to know and would absolutely love to work with you again. And if I ever make my way to Hawaii, I will undoubtedly be trying to connect with you. Sending lots of love and light to you on your journey and wishing you joyful and safe travels. Thank you!

I'd been having a particularly challenging time when I was in Hawaii getting our home ready to sell. I booked an appointment with Kealoha and am I glad I did! The Lomilomi massage I received was far and away the best massage I have ever received. She released substantial tension that I was carrying. I felt great when I left and even better in the following days. I highly recommend Kealoha and Kamaaina Healing. You will leave feeling much better! read more

Amazing healing Lomi Lomi bodywork! Booked my next session before I left. Many thanks! Mahalo nui loa.

Prelude to this review - I myself am an LMT with 3+ years experience in various modalities, so I have a very high standard for massages. I can say without doubt that Kealoha is one of the most talented massage therapists and healers I have had the opportunity to work with! I came into the session with low back pain to the extent that I was worried I may have herniated or slipped a disk. The morning after the massage I felt noticeably better and within 2-3 days I felt like I was pretty much back to normal. The sessions can be a bit intense, but they are extremely effective. If you are looking for true massage THERAPY or would like to experience authentic Lomi Lomi definitely make a visit. read more

I myself am a practicing massage therapist of 7 years, and I must say Kealoha is a masterclass level practitioner. I felt decades of tension leave my body during my time with her, and It was the most effective bodywork session I've had anywhere. She would make an impeccable mentor in the intuitive and healing arts, and if I lived nearby I'd pay her whatever she wanted to teach me! The attentiveness and gentleness I was given during pre and post chat was great. Made me feel at home in her space. Very warm and comfortable. read more

The most amazing massage I have had! Kaeloha is a very talented healer and worked on me exactly how I asked. I have another appointment next week for more detailed facial muscles work for my TMJ. I highly recommend her! read more

Kamaaina Healing - Her home studio space is easy to find in HPP - Massage Therapy Near Me

Kealoha is an experienced and intuitive body worker. This type of massage is not for the faint of heart - it is intense healing for a system askew. I had 2 visits to treat a sore neck, and I'm certain I'll return the next time I'm ready for deep myofascial therapy. This is NOT your 'relaxing massage' - it is deeply restorative treatment for body issues. The appointment is confirmed with detailed instructions as to what to expect; follow them! This is a home-based studio with a soothing energy of being exactly where you are meant to be - and Kealoha runs a well-organized practice, with great instructions and signage. read more

I have experienced wonderful lomilomi practitioners throughout our pae 'āina o Hawai'i nei (island chain)... but i "know" i ku'u iwi, (in my bones) that I was divinely guided to Kealoha's sacred sanctuary to be healed and transformed physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I am here to shout this truth from my rooftop to the world: Kealoha's gifts, talents and anointing are second to none! She is a humble yet powerful healer of the highest order! Kealoha IS her name: the embodiment of pure Love and white Light. She carries within her a thousand years of ancient wisdom from her illustruous lineage of kahuna lomilomi (massage) and lā'au lapa'au (plant medicine healers). I came to her discouraged and disheartened, with 2 grueling years of debilitating, chronic pain. Every two weeks for three months, I have sobbed on her table, releasing deep emotional pain and childhood trauma locked in my body for 50 years. I have cried a waterfall of tears in that head cradle... tear drops that held every hearbreak, limiting belief, feeling of lack and unworthiness ... her beautiful heart, and gifted hands and feet, have transmuted those tears, through compassion and forgiveness, to water seeds of new life and rebirth in my spirit. I'm sure she could give you a fluffy surface massage wiith all the "spa feels," if that's your desire, but if you're going after way down deep healing on every level, brace yourself and buckle your seatbelt! She gets into the deepest scar tissue ... burning, intense pain that melts into a sweet release after years of agony! I am truly grateful and blessed for sensational you, e Kahuna Kealoha! Today, I am emerging from my cocoon, ready to soar like the magnificent being I was always meant to be! Me ku'u aloha palena 'ole, Hālani Berard-Boshard, Mauna Hu'ihu'i, Moku o Keawe read more

Kealoha is awesome, her style of lomi is very therapeutic and healing. Mahalo Kealoha

If you are looking for a good massage I highly suggest Kamaaina Healing. Kealoha is amazing! Told her about this numbness/pain I was having in my arm at night when I sleep that has need going on for over a year and she fixed it! I went to sleep that night and didn't have no numbness or pain at all since then. I'm so glad Kealoha was able to help me get that fixed! And like I said if you are in need of a massage please reach out to Kealoha at Kamaaina Healing and she will get you fixed up in no time you won't regret it I promise. One of the best massages I've had! read more

Kealoha is truly a healing spirit. As a woman with a disability, I felt so cared for. She actually piggybacked me from my car to her table and back, like a boss! I've never had any massage therapist even offer to do that, and with such strength and grace. And her massage was the same. Her hands are so healing and strong. Her presence is so peaceful. mind, body, spirit, a beautiful experience that I needed. read more

Best massage I have ever had! Every part of my body was done. I have alignment problems & walked away feeling aligned, loose & relaxed!

I experienced a healing massage from Kealoha to heal my back pain. I highly recommend Kealoha!!

KeAloha is such a wonderful healer. She has helped me in ways that no one else could. She has very strong hands and knows the body well. Would definitely recommend. read more

Kealoha is a not just a masseuse. She is a spiritual healer. Walk into her Lomi Lomi massage with an open mind and walk out transformed. My husband and I both had out-of-body experiences with her. Western medicine does not teach us how our pain bodies are actual manifestations of emotional distress. She will massage the parts of you that are broken and unleash the deep trauma that is within. Admittedly, we were both crying like babies in the massage. Yet feeling strengthened and renewed afterwards. One session is greater than years of physical therapy. Make sure to show up on time to get every minute's worth. Thanks, big sis for the healing. God bless you! read more

This experience was nothing short of life changing... a friend took me to see Keoloha and I actually had no idea how much I needed her help, but I'm so incredibly grateful that I ended up on her massage table. I have never had a massage from someone who can intuitively sense what you need and cares enough to get you there. She helped my body release years of emotion and trauma and I felt like a completely different person getting up. Thank you Keoloha read more

My experience with Kealoha was one of the best massage/healing sessions I've ever received. As soon as I saw her eyes, I knew she was a special being with a very special gift. She was very attentive to my needs, kept making sure the pressure feels good, reminding me to breathe. There was cracking, grounding, deep love, care and healing. I stood up from the massage and felt like a completely new person! When I caught my eyes in the mirror, there was a special light coming from them, and my whole body was vibrating with a sense of pleasant aliveness and joy. Thank you, Kealoha, for doing what you do for the planet! I will for sure be back for more! read more

Kamaaina Healing - Kealoha and her sweet dog, who took part in the healing session! - Massage Therapy Near Me

I haven't had a massage in years. Kealoha's understanding of my body and lomilomi was right on point. I would recommend her for anyone who has an injury or in need of body adjustment. She was accommodating with appointment scheduling, made me feel at ease and relaxed. I walked out feeling amazing and able to move my arms and neck with out pain. I will definitely make another appointment!!! read more

I live about 6 blocks from Keoloha. I have filled out her appointment form on her website twice. Waited 4 weeks each time. Never received a reply. I seems quite unprofessional to request that a guest fill out a required form, then ignore them altogether. read more

I am just back from what may have been the most intensively good massages of my sixties year alive. I found a flyer at a Kurtistown roadside fruit stand yesterday and was able to get in today. I suggested deep is my desired strength and Kealoha took me there and then some. She is a talented,powerful healer in so many ways. I am so grateful for this moment of joyous bliss and to have been blessed by the healing Kamaaina hands of Kealoha. I look forward future visits to east Hawaii and know this will be part of future journeys as well! read more

Came upon Kealoha Tam at the Sunday market in Keaau and what a treat having a massage from her. All set for our trip home!!

Wonderful, beautiful healer. Kealoha exudes love and care as she works on you....Ive been very happy with my massages every time!! Thank you! read more

I met Kealoha on a beautiful hike in Waipio Valley, and when I discovered that she gave Lomi Lomi massage, it all made sense. Kealoha is a beautiful soul with a great talent and great energy- when she gave me a quick massage on the beach, within 30 seconds she was able to locate the EXACT spot that was bothering me that afternoon. "You found it!" I said. "Of course I did!" She responded. I set up an appointment with her as soon as I could, and could not be happier with the experience I had. Not only was the massage highly relaxing, but completely thorough and worked my body in ways I didn't expect. One of the best healers I have ever met, her intuition led her to discover problems in my body that I never even voiced to her- she just simply knew what to do! When I left, I took a stack of Kamaaina Healing business cards with me, and I plan on recommending her to anyone I meet! Thank you Kealoha, for a relaxing massage and a comfortable, holistic session. read more

Kealoha is one of the greatest massage therapists I've ever known. I suffer from a lot deep muscle trauma and degenerative lumbar discs so my body is always compensating for that binding up my back, glute and hip muscles. This takes work and she is anything, but lazy when it comes to working out the years of trauma and damage. She is very, very strong, so you should not be afraid to be specific in your level of pressure. It's like the difference between hot and Thai hot! There's firm and then there's Kealoha firm! She herself is a beautiful person and has a lovely sense of humor, and her room is breezy and comfortable. Not all therapists get the music right but hers is great and she plays it at a perfect level. She seems to take pleasure in knowing when the muscle finally releases and is very intuitive. She knows when you hold your breath, so don't even think about it. If you are looking for a true healing massage this is the place for you. If you're looking for one of those fluffy spa massages look elsewhere. She's the real deal! read more

I am 69 years old, I've had hundreds of massages and, for deep tissue therapy, I would rate Kealoha Tam's work as among the best. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive, clear minded and focussed, strong and sensitive and she certainly has the hands of a healer. She has been instrumental in helping me recover from a car wreck this year and I am happy to recommend her work without reservation. read more

Kealoha is very skillful and versatile. My girlfriend and I had an hour each and she was able to identify each of our unique problem areas and apply the appropriate healing method and massage technique. She is very strong but can also give a light touch. She was a joy to talk to, very down to earth and understanding. We felt very comfortable with her and her studio (which is very clean and has a good atmosphere). Best massage we ever had! read more

I spent my last vacation in Keaau and i was very fortunate to met Kealoha. She gives intensive therapy and i never felt in better hands. I had the best Massage ever, she released all my triggerpoints. I was suffering neck and backpain the last few month and after her treating me i still feel relieved. Thank you so much, i really had great experience! read more
