Continuing Education

Due to the closing of all the Massage schools on Maui Kimi hasn’t had the opportunity of taking conventional training lately. She fully expects to continue her path to becoming informed and proficient in all the modern massage practices once the pandemic ends.

In the mean time she continually learns from her clients and her fellow therapists in the Maui community.
