Our Work
Pua Mohala Healing & Advocacy Services provides
holistic and culturally relevant opportunities for indigenous youth to create a healthier lāhui. We identify with the ʻōlelo noʻeau, “I ka wā ma mua, i ka wā ma hope”, the future is in the past. By exploring past indigenous practices, our youth are able to find their place in this modern world to guide them into the future. Adolescence can be a wā (time period) filled with confusion and angst. Our curriculum is specifically designed and aligned to keep ʻōpio (ages 10-25 years old) rooted in their foundation as they journey through this phase of their development.

Workshops cover topics, which range from teen goal setting, coping techniques, and mental health awareness.

Wellness Services
Counseling:
Counseling services are provided by Priscilla , a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, through Luna Counseling. Counseling focuses on recognizing personal narratives and examining the impact, whether good or bad, it has in our daily interactions and relationships. This can include the topic of intergenerational trauma within the family structure and re-learning new patterns to break from the many cycles of dysfunction that occur on both the conscious and subconscious levels. Counseling will have a strengths based perspective and will look at finding personalized solutions to challenging behavioral patterns so that the restructuring of one’s thinking patterns can take place which will allow for long term, healthier changes.
Reiki:
In person and distant reiki healing sessions are provided by Momi, a certified Reiki healer. This form of energy healing encourages holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit from the universal energy embedded in all of us. In concert with the client, the practitioner opens the energy centers to allow flow and realignment. Reiki promotes relaxation, release of emotional blockages, and increase in the body's natural healing.
