"All I can say is, 'wow.' Ever since I first received a hands on treatment from LaRen in 2019, I have been enjoying her distance sessions. After these treatments, I feel so good, so aligned and connected with Source, just truly happy and at peace. Regardless of what is going on, her work calms my mind, replenishes my energy and boosts my spirit.. I am so grateful to LaRen for making me feel like a Free Bird."❤️

A transformative and healing experience, it's a miracle I can feel it working through. LaRen is an angel and a blessing to the world. I am grateful not only for the healing but also for her generous time, wisdom, guidance and counseling."

"It was so lovely to meet LaRen. Her guidance and gift of healing has really changed my trajectory. In the future, I think I'll refer to my life as "before LaRen" and "after LaRen". I am so grateful she is sharing her gift with the world. My experience was truly amazing and really special."

I am so grateful for LaRen's service to guide me to my best self, my true self. After going through a brief energetic cleanse, each day since my session with her has been progressively better.... I am feeling more clear, focused, strong and loved. I have come into alignment with the passions and dreams I have been denying myself. I feel worthy and have a sense of surrender and lightness in my heart. I’m excited to continue healing. I am content, calm and clear and have moments welcomed by tears of laughter and pure joy. I really appreciate the time LaRen has taken to help support my well-being. There is no greater service than helping someone see their true inner light shine. I am beyond grateful!!

LaRen's sessions are transformational. I was so inspired after experiencing her work that I decided to take a workshop with her. I expected her classes to be every bit as life changing and enjoyable as her treatments and was not disappointed. I feel so blessed to have met LaRen and am grateful she is my teacher. Like her sessions, her class could not be long enough, it was that good."

"Aloha and Mahalo to LaRen for her kindness and for removing a lot of sadness from this world......I appreciate all that she does with a beautiful presence very much like a mountain. It was such a blessing receiving Reiki through LaRen. Revived with gratitude for helping to guide my soul into the direction it needs to go, she does it with such grace; her words are perfectly used in a beautiful way as only a true healer does. Her way of healing is a star I am reaching for..... I fully appreciate the love she has for the Earth and feel grateful for her ever present reminder of how beautiful Mother Earth is."

"I am so grateful LaRen was able to work with my tight schedule and get me in for a session while I was on the Big Island. I will definitely be following up with her remotely. I so appreciate her 'amazing' healing work. I feel surprisingly good after the consult and treatment. She gave me some really good tools to work with. I especially appreciate her attention, follow-up email and summary. I will savor it and keep it in my files for a reminder of our special healing session. I am excited to transform, morph and grow into 2019!"

“After getting ill, I requested a distance treatment from LaRen. Not sure what to expect, I fell sound asleep during the treatment so don’t remember much. I woke up the next day feeling so much better without having to take any medicine. I am so grateful and her feedback was very helpful. I really enjoyed reading her email and listening to the mp3. It felt like she was reading my mind! I appreciate her insightful reminders and her great suggestions. I know they will benefit me. I so appreciate LaRen holding the space for me to heal!!”

“That was profoundly deep, the most amazing treatment I have ever had. Catapulted to another dimension, I awoke with such loving clarity. LaRen took extra care and devoted more time to me following the treatment to share her impressions. Her insights were precise, so “right on” and provided so much confirmation. Her reflections were exactly what I needed as I work on the next layer, very affirming. Additionally, her referrals have been very helpful. …. I have made significant shifts in to the deliciousness of life itself. Full of appreciation for LaRen and for all of the gifts she shares so well.”

”I so appreciate my treatments with LaRen. I always feel as if my my cup gets filled. Afterwards, I sleep soundly all through the night in bliss and feel fresh the next morning. From the first treatment, I felt was as if there was magic happening in my soul and in my heart as I was bathed in loving peace. Each time is much the same. I feel reset by her sessions and stay in zen mode for many days ahead. I can’t wait to see her again.”

“While I don’t quite understand how it works, it does. As skeptical as I have been about energy work, I have got to say by the end of the session I felt deeply relaxed like never before. Very much constantly on-the-go, I felt myself melting on the table. I slept so soundly afterwards without the help of any pills. For several days afterwards, I felt a renewed sense of calm and security. There is something very spiritual about this work.”

“I am so thankful for this work. I was in so much pain I could not travel anywhere for treatment. The distance work was exactly what I needed to get over the hump so I could get myself mobile to drive somewhere for an assessment. I am so grateful that LaRen made time to accommodate me on such a last minute’s notice. I really was concerned but by the end of the session not only had the pain lessened but I knew deep inside that everything was going to find its way.”

“I am so grateful for the distance treatment. I feel like it helped me very much in gathering more energy as I finally turned a corner in my recovery. After nine days in the hospital with an infection, I was released only a day after the distance session. What an experience. This was my second distance treatment from LaRen and it was every bit as helpful as the first one years ago. I could call upon a lot of healers but I call upon LaRen as she is the best.”

“I showed up at Reiki Circle with the intention of giving but got to receive a Reiki treatment from the group as well. Not only did the pain release while on the table, but has stayed gone all this time, now over a month later. Sweet Mystery provides.

“I was hiking in a very remote location when I suddenly became ill and knew I was catching the bug my wife had before I left. She had been ill for a week and had to cancel her plans to join me on a three day hike. As I was overcome with weakness, fatigue, and nausea I found myself in the middle of nowhere miles from help. I felt terrible and knew I was going down for the count I was worried I would not make it out. Through my partner, I was able to make contact with LaRen to send me a distance treatment. It was truly awesome. I woke up at 2am the morning after the treatment and immediately knew I was over it. It was a huge relief. Later that morning I ate a full breakfast and drank as much water as I wanted. I rested another day and received another treatment from LaRen before hiking out at 4am the next morning. I managed to get most of the 2700 foot altitude gain out of the way before the heat of the day. I felt quite strong the entire way out carrying a heavy pack. It was amazing. I am so thankful. It was wonderful of LaRen to be there for me when I most needed help.”

“I appreciate LaRen’s loving attention, her caring follow through and her choice of words kind words. She can put any one at ease. After my session with her, I felt incredibly relaxed and as though my body was in a state of better balance. I have been open with my relationships in expressing and sharing my needs in a way that I haven’t been comfortable doing before. This time with LaRen has been invaluable to me and has brought me much peace. I am so grateful to her for encouraging me to be honest about my needs without feeling guilty about it. With gratitude.”

“My session with LaRen was life changing. I no longer deal with insomnia and I am able to manage my ADHD.. I had no idea that energy healing could be so powerful to help with my condition. LaRen shared with me some great self healing tools and hand positions that have made a huge difference in my reality. The universe works in wonderful ways. She gave me such simple tools that help me to focus and clear my mind. I am so grateful for having met her and am excited to continue to experience more of her profound healing.”

“LaRen is one of the most powerful healers I know. My sessions with her are always deeply healing and are a catalyst for great growth and change. I feel so lucky to have LaRen on the island to share the work she does. No one comes close to offering what she so naturally gifts. I tell others if they are ready for a transformative experience, then go see LaRen. What she offers is far more than relaxing. She is a game changer.”

“…My visit with LaRen was the highlight of my time in Hawaii! When I look for energy healers, I know that not all have the gift of healing and that I may walk into a session and receive very little from it. I was so thrilled when I walked into LaRen’s high energy room and knew I had arrived at a very special place with an amazing woman! I feel so blessed to have had the special time she shared with me…..I am grateful that I was directed towards her, and it gives me faith that somewhere, some spirit is watching over me!…My time with LaRen was the catalyst needed to carry on in the right direction!! I can’t thank LaRen enough for all the love and positive energy I received from her! The world is blessed to have her in it and I am sure that is why she has been able to heal what was supposed to be a fatal disease! I think of how much I received from our session and I think of how many other people she has helped and I am in awe! I will continue to work with what she has given me and I know I will end up in a much better place! ..I love the (meditation) CD…and I will listen to it every morning and evening. I know I will be back to see her again. She is one of the loveliest people I have ever met."

“The distance session was very comfortable and soothing. First of all, I could easily feel energy, at times it was almost like a cloud enveloping me, other times it would be body part specific. The feedback after the session was very helpful and affirming as it was ‘right on’ and so very comprehensive even pointing out what was going in different areas of my body through the chakra system. It confirmed what I suspected and also gave me much food for thought. I feel the treatment was very beneficial and am open to another. I appreciate LaRen’s spirit, energy, wisdom and caring heart.”

“I felt my crown opening at the end of the treatment and I noticed an unfolding of sorts- unfolding of petals perhaps. I noticed myself in a state of me-ness in the days following the treatment. What a gift. Returning to that place is such a beautiful affirmation of life for me. It was neat to learn about the state of my chakras. I really enjoyed my time on the table. The visions I had came naturally and had a unique quality that connected me with the essence my higher self. It has been a really good reminder of the me I want to be. I am so appreciative of the treatment, for the beautiful space LaRen held while I was in the table.”

"The forward progress with my first two treatments inspired me to learn more and take one of LaRen’s certification classes. The Halai Energy Healing Workshop was one of the most powerful energetic experiences of my life. I gained so much helpful advice. LaRen was a great listener, taking time to understand my personal issues and to answer all of my questions. I am excited for the next class.”

“I had a sense of well being from the start of my distance treatment. I actually could feel LaRen as she was working on the various areas of my body. Once she began at my high heart, I really felt her presence with me. I had some amazing visuals and received many insightful messages. This was all very beautiful and unexpected. I had no idea I was holding on to so much. This instigated a tremendous shift and I instantly felt better when she finished the treatment. It was crazy! I never expected anything like that. I released so much, all of it good. LaRen’s insight and feedback was really on point. I have so much gratitude for her help and compassionate aid. There are some things I have not been able to access by myself and it is wonderful to have her as support. It was one of the most amazing things I have experienced. I literally felt high on energy afterwards.”

“It is, I think, rare to find someone who takes such care, takes such a holistic and well rounded approach (that considers the whole person!), and then cares enough to follow up as LaRen has done. I am ever so grateful to her for being that caring, compassionate person, and for bringing all of those qualities to our healing session and follow up. I sincerely appreciate it, and know that I am healing and integrating now thanks to our session and to her approach.”

“It was a pleasure meeting LaRen and I am so appreciative of her making the time to fit me in. I am very particular whom I receive energy healing from. I was so relaxed after my session with LaRen. It was the most relaxed I have felt since being on island. Beyond that, she gave me a wealth of invaluable information. I feel her insights and experience will be very instrumental in detoxifying my body from the effects of a toxic antibiotic I received several months back that has affected my brain and caused impaired hearing and loss of vision in one eye. The world would be a beautiful place if the honesty (like that which LaRen has shared with me) came before lining pockets (with money). I appreciate her integrity. Her healing work is nothing short of heavenly.”

“Wow!!! I can’t thank LaRen enough. The distance treatment was phenomenal. I am so glad I had her work on me while I was getting my dental procedure. I actually had to check my mouth the next morning to see that the dentist really put the implant in because I had absolutely no pain, no swelling, etc. It is as if nothing happened at all. My daughter was stunned that I was able to simply eat food completely normally. I mean there was absolutely no soreness at all. It was beyond amazing, more like miraculous. I send my heartfelt gratitude to LaRen. I had the same procedure done last year and it took weeks until I could eat normally again. Love & Aloha."

“I met LaRen while I was on holiday in Kona, Hawaii. Immediately impressed by her personal vitality, I asked her what she did. When she told me she coached on lifestyle choices and practiced energy medicine, I had to see her on my brief island stay. My session was informational and inspirational. Since then, I have been working with LaRen via the email and phone. She has been a tremendous help. I am 60 years old, have suffered from a variety of auto-immune diseases for the last 30 years. Today I am feeling better than I have in decades! Her healing sessions are delightful and her knowledge and presentation is priceless.”

“I found LaRen through a friend’s recommendation on the Big Island. In spite my skepticism of esoteric practices, I thought I would give her treatment a try. All I expected was a relaxing experience at best, what I received was a far greater healing. I have been dealing with chronic inflammatory bowel disorders for the past few decades; my latest diagnosis Crohn’s Disease. I don’t know exactly what LaRen did or how, but I experienced a profound release in my bowels for three weeks following my appointment. I began to become concerned that it wouldn’t stop. LaRen was very kind and worked with me via email over the course of several weeks coaching me as my body detoxified. I feel great, the pain in my intestines is virtually gone. She suggested some lifestyle changes I might consider, directed me to several excellent resources, and encouraged me to engage in more self care through a number of recommendations. All of her suggestions were very thoughtful and certainly applicable in my case. I almost feel as I have a mentor on the Big Island. I will definitely be back next time I am on the island and am forever grateful for this profound experience and relief that I received. I couldn’t be more pleasantly surprised with her services and her after care treatment.”

“….I am very pleased…. to recognize LaRen’s healing work, and help others to find her and benefit from it. I was suffering with tinnitus (banging in my head) which brought me to seek out CranioSacral Therapy which has given me relief in the past. LaRen took such gentle care with me during our appointment. It was such a blessing to meet her and I am sincerely grateful for her help, which proved very healing for me. She takes a holistic approach in considering the whole person which was a huge blessing for me. The first night after my session with LaRen, I found that when I got up in the middle of the night, while the banging was still there, (this is so exciting/wonderful!) it seemed much softer.….The next night I slept even more deeply and the banging was softer again still! By the third night, I had the deepest sleep of all; and, though I had to get up a couple of times (and that was previously the time when the banging would come in very loudly), I did not notice the banging (at all!) which is a huge, incredible gift and blessing….I am so sincerely appreciative for LaRen’s healing help…..I am so very grateful, and am going to do all that I possibly can to implement her recommendations, and continue on this healing journey! Thank you –Thank you – Thank you!”

“I am so grateful. After not being able to work due to incredible pain and then after seeing LaRen for a single session, I worked for 8 hours the next day without any pain, which is a miracle! I have to give LaRen credit. She put me in such a state of relaxation that I let go in a way that I couldn’t let go before and that combined with her chakra, energy and body work did wonders. I worked for 8 hours! I am very grateful. Not only is LaRen an angel for coming in on a Sunday to treat me, she is a miracle worker.”

“I express my heartfelt thanks to LaRen for the most amazing transformation my life has undertaken, a spiritual and healing journey. It came at the end of the most stressful period in my whole life. Finding her in Hawaii was such a gift for me – she allowed my heart to complete its final healing. Now upon my return home, my heart has never been so open and so fearless. In the space of 2 short weeks, I have said YES to life and I have said YES to ease and grace. LaRen assisted in moving me from a place of fear to a place of fearlessness.”

“After my first session with La`Ren, I was surprised to be able to sleep pain free for the first time in two years on my left shoulder, after fracturing my collar bone in a biking accident. With my shoulder no longer bothersome, my sessions now yield an amazing sense of tranquility and peace, a different perspective on my life that is much bigger then the daily stresses I get caught up in. It is a feeling of guidance to the grander purpose of LOVE. I can not wait for my next appointment with La`Ren.”

“My time in Hawaii has changed me in significant ways. I am happy that I found Hala’i Healing Place and that LaRen was able to work with me during my short stay on the Big Island. I so appreciate her time and attention. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety in my life. Her treatment calmed me so much; I felt more relaxed than I had been on the entire vacation. She also gently brought to my awareness that my coffee consumption might be something to reconsider. I had never considered this but I decided to give it a try and stopped drinking coffee that day, and it was like my body was at peace. I miss that smell and my morning ritual, but it’s hard to even imagine going back to that much caffeine because I feel so great. She also shared some ancient Hawaiian wisdom with me that moved me in very powerful ways. I will definitely visit her again the next time I am on island and am so grateful for her subtle insight. It was a life changing experience for me.”

“My distance healing was miraculous. This stuff really works. I was in a critical car accident and had an amazing recovery. Even my doctors were astounded at not only how quickly I healed but that I regained my ability not to just walk again but to do yoga and enjoy my life as I had before. Her distance treatment has inspired me to come in to see her for subsequent treatments now that I am up and running again. Each one has been more beneficial than the one before it. I don’t understand how energy healing works but I am a testament that it does as I am normally very slow to heal. In spite of such serious injuries, I actually feel better physically and emotionally now than I have in years.”

- About Reiki Workshops -
“I first took a Reiki class from LaRen in 2017 for the protection and shielding factor. I LOVED this class all the way! I had no idea what a powerful experience this would be. My heart goes out to each and every person who made this happen. I continued on to level II with LaRen later that year and now after seven years, I have taken level III from her. Like all the other classes, I loved this latest experience. The divine has hidden treasures everywhere and LaRen has been one of those treasures in my long and beautiful Reiki journey. I have so much gratitude for LaRen's connection to spirit. I definitely recommend her workshops to others.”

"LaRen is the best. Level II Reiki, like Level I, exceeded my expectations. I did the first class in Kapa'au and the second in Kailua Kona, a year later. I absolutely love the Kona office. It is quiet, beautifully decorated and is in an ideal location. Level II was an incredible two days being able to fully immerse myself into the practice of Reiki. LaRen was great at explaining and teaching the sacred symbols and the advanced healing techniques. All of my questions were addressed and I feel confident. to take my new knowledge into my massage practice. I am so grateful to LaRen for holding space for my training. This was a great Reiki weekend. I can't wait to take her Energy Medicine workshop next."

"I am so grateful to have found LaRen. For the longest time, I have been curious about Reiki and its origins. LaRen was clear, detailed and very in tune with the needs of the student. She is very supportive and provides a clean, neat and comfortable space, a respite in Kailua Kona. After two wonderful days of learning and receiving Reiki, I feel grounded and move with ease. Her daily grounding has continued to keep me centered and recover to a state of grace much more quickly. I am thankful for LaRen's continued support of my journey."

"I first took Reiki eight years ago and didn't really connect with it. I am so glad I began at square one with LaRen. I took my first Reiki class with her a year ago and just finished level II. Way beyond what I imagined. I have infinite gratitude to LaRen for her amazing teachings and beautiful self. I feel so very blessed and honored to have had this amazing experience. This has been life changing and incredibly healing. I am looking forward to continuing my journey and new life on this healing Reiki path. LaRen is a beacon of light, love, beauty, and an amazing inspiration. Her attunements and her Reiki hands are heaven."

"This class exceeded my dreams. LaRen is an amazing healer. She shared so much love and insight. The passion and confidence she demonstrates in her healing work transfers over to her students allowing us to get started on a firm, loving and intentional foundation. I received so many downloads. I did not expect to get so much clarity on the start of my transformative process. I slept the best I have in ages after the very first day of class. I am very excited to see what comes next."

"I started over with LaRen after taking Reiki levels I and II elsewhere. I am so glad I did. It has been wonderful training with LaRen. I learned so much about the history and the importance of Reiki and what it can do for mind, body and spirit. The energy of Reiki has come alive in me. The whole experience is lovely. In the grounding meditations, I felt so peaceful and connected to my guides and my inner world. I have learned so much more about giving Reiki treatments. LaRen's attunements were night and day compared to my other training. My self treatments are so much more profound now. I can feel the energy moving through me like never before. I learned so much more than just Reiki. I took the level I class in the Kona office and the level II class eight months later in the Kapa'au office. Both were really perfect. I recommend Hala`i Healing Place for anyone wanting to embrace Reiki. Thank you LaRen."

"The two days of my Reiki training have touched me deeply. I feel I have awakened to more inspiration, magic and a stronger connection to source. I am changed. I loved learning from LaRen. Tears are almost flowing of gratitude for LaRen for sharing these teachings with me. She is living them; her knowledge and experience runs so deep and makes the class that much more enriching. This workshop far exceeded my expectations. I took a level I class years ago and it was nothing like this. LaRen is thorough, affirming and inspiring. She helped me to connect reverently with the Reiki teachings."

"I feel 'whole' and 'inspired'. My level II Reiki training brought a lot of confidence to my life as well as to my Reiki practice. I loved having the second degree class in North Kohala. Like the Kona office, the space is peaceful, clean and has very good mana. I now feel the earth is more vibrant, the wind, the birds; I can hear and feel better. I trust myself today more that I ever have in my whole life. To trust one's self is freeing. I have enjoyed this experience with LaRen so much. I didn't think I would want to share Reiki with others after this workshop as I have been keeping it to myself for the first year, but 'I do.' There are not enough words to express my time with LaRen. It was special and touched my soul. I feel like a healthier version of myself. I am so grateful and will continue to grow from this experience."

"I came to LaRen very fortuitously. Everything was exactly as it was meant to be. I trained in level I Reiki in Kapa'au. It couldn't have been more amazing. Our energies were very in sync. It exceeded every hope, thought, or expectation I might have had. I am excited to take this home with me. I fully intend to come back for level II when the timing is right. LaRen's method, touch, knowledge, wisdom and way is very sacred and powerful.....I am so grateful for having been blessed to train with LaRen. She carries gorgeous energy and more importantly shares lovingly and selflessly."

I don't think I could have chosen a better first location or instructor to begin my Reiki journey. I am very grateful for the Reiki knowledge, time and energy LaRen has gifted me. The Reiki attunements were beyond anything I expected and beyond my words. I could feel the Reiki energy literally pulsing through my arms and hands.

"I took my Advanced Reiki Level III class with LaRen in March of 2019. When I want to calm down all I have to do is think of the moment that I was going to walk up the stairs in her Kona office. I was with so much hope and happiness at that time and thinking that I made the right decision to travel to Hawaii to get the 3rd degree of Reiki. Those days were unforgettable for me. She made the class and the studying something so simple and at the same time so great. Her attunement was stronger than any I have had from other Reiki Masters. It was profound and made me believe that she opened the Doors to Heaven Itself for me. I felt very special and even now over a year later know if I die, I will take with me that one special gift with me and if I come back in my next life, I will start were I left off."

Even doing this on line, it never once felt depersonalized. I am blown away by her style of talking; she is easy to follow and has a graceful way of making making one feel loved and cared for yet is very interactive and instructive in her teaching.

"After having many treatment sessions with LaRen in her Kona office, I was inspired to get Reiki trained myself. With some time since my entry level class with her, I took a refresher course to get reacquainted with Reiki. It was great to reconnect with LaRen, a Reiki angel Her office space in Kapa'au is lovely. I felt a far greater peace than I expected so at ease talking story and reconnecting. She is so thoughtful and authentic. It is such a rare gift to connect and share with someone who understands me. The Reiki session and attunements were beautiful. I have a deep feeling of peace and feel I am ready and able to work with Reiki energy on another level. This was a wonderful experience and I look forward to the next class."

"I completed by first and second degree Reiki with LaRen. I appreciate the simplicity she brings in to her teaching environment and how comfortable I felt during both classes despite the five years between the two levels. LaRen mindfully answers all questions and provides adequate time to integrate and review the teachings from the history and origin of Reiki, to understanding how Reiki works, to the hand positions, the sacred level II symbols, as well as the advanced level II techniques. I really appreciate that she makes herself available to answer any questions that arise with Reiki practice well beyond the scope of the class. I highly recommend this class. Just like the first one, LaRen exceeded my expectations."

" I am completely self taught in academia and find it difficult to take a class as a way to learn. I am so glad I was inclined to explore Reiki especially with the prevailing circumstances of coronavirus. LaRen made this experience extremely easy and pleasant. All of my reservations were immediately put to rest. It was incredible. She provided a relaxing comfortable environment for learning and made it a pleasure to receive information and the Reiki energy. As someone who feels, sees and hears energy I am dazzled by the beauty of Reiki energy, nothing short of amazing. I feel energized and balanced and am excited to be a part of the Reiki community, sharing with like minded individuals. LaRen gracefully instilled the traditions of Reiki and the guidelines for treatment, explaining the unwritten code of Reiki conduct while sharing a simple ceremonial process for activating Reiki energy. The straightforward simplicity of Reiki makes it available to everyone and allows one to truly experience the collective consciousness of Reiki love."

"I had such a wonderful experience at my level I Reiki training with LaRen. Mine was unique in that I split the time between the two office locations in West Hawaii (Kona) and North Hawaii (Kapa'au). While both locations were very beautiful, comfortable and cozy, in spite of the convenience of Kona, I enjoyed the Kapa'au office the most as it is an ideal setting closer to nature. I really loved sitting on the porch enjoying the beauty of the bountiful plant life that surrounds the space. As for the class itself, not only did I learn the beautiful art of Reiki but also received tools that equip one with integral strategies in facing life challenges. I appreciated LaRen inviting me in to her space, sharing her wisdom and allowing me to process and assimilate knowledge as it comes to me. This was far more valuable than I anticipated. I feel that my Reiki training and initiations have prompted a strong shift and that life will manifest exactly as I wish it to so long as I maintain my connection with gratitude and humility! I am grateful for LaRen's openness, wisdom, and generosity. It really was such a pleasure to learn from and work with her."

“Taking the second degree Reiki class really exceeded my expectations. I feel so much more confident, focused and in tune with Reiki and am ready to help others that are really in need. This was such a special experience not just learning more in depth about sacred Reiki but the benefit from giving and receiving Reiki from one another was so meaningful. I loved learning how to send distance Reiki and especially appreciate learning the awesome mental treatment. Realizing the breadth of the Hawaii Reiki connection helped me appreciate why the Big Island is so special and renowned as the healing island. This class was very different than the level I class and far deeper than I imagined; an awesome weekend. I felt so much energy flowing. This training helps me to live a more meaningful life. I am excited I will be able to help more people with Reiki. I didn’t realize how profound Reiki really is until I took the first level last year. With this special gift I have been taught, I am forever grateful for LaRen. I will continue telling everyone about my positive experience.

With a beautiful drive up the Kohala Coast, it was worth every moment. I really loved being able to sit outside in the shade with the greenery and the fresh air for much of the time. l appreciate she practices Ashtanga yoga and thought she might be very traditional and thorough with that as part of her background; I was right.

She took time to answer all of my questions. Not only is she an excellent teacher, she truly cares about the well-being of her students and her clients. Her office is very spiritual; in fact it was amazing as for the first time in my life I could literally “SEE” energy in her office. I intend to return for her Energy Healing class.

The instruction and the hands on practice really helped me not only in learning but also induced a deep feeling of calm relaxation. I really enjoyed this.

I am appreciative of LaRen’s hospitality. I’m a very a sensitive person and her space has the energy set perfectly as if she is a feng shui master. I really appreciated the intimacy of her space and the way she orchestrates her class. She has my best wishes filled with positive energy. I look forward to the next level of learning.”

“I’ve taken several energy work courses at this point and I’ve never experienced such a professional, comprehensive training as the Reiki Level I training I did at Halai’i Healing Place. La’Ren gives her all in each and every moment of the class. She truly cares about preserving the integrity of Reiki while at the same time creating the space for a unique expression of the practice. LaRen ensures that her students understand all aspects of the technique. She Keri S.generously shares her tricks of the trade, and she truly embodies the spirit of aloha in her teachings. I’m already seeing powerful results from the attunements she gave me. I’m so looking forward to Level II training at Halai’i. I wouldn’t do it anywhere else!”

“It was really special taking my Reiki class on the Big Island. Learning how Hawaii, the land, the culture and the Hawaiian spiritual practices relate to Reiki really deepened the experience for me and made it even more meaningful. I enjoyed the class structure and how each topic builds on the next. The initial group reading made it very interactive from the get-go. LaRen provides a relaxing environment to learn in beautified by crystals and lovely art. I especially enjoyed the awesome grounding meditation on the second day. I will be implementing this into my daily routine along with my Reiki self-treatments. This class gets five stars.”
“Our experience was amazing. I really enjoyed how casual the class seemed. It felt directed to our needs. LaRen is very motivating and inspiring. I felt truly loved. We are so lucky to have been taught Reiki by LaRen as this is a very intimate learning process. I cannot wait to continue my training. I am also very appreciative of the respect to our Reiki elders that she demonstrated. This path has changed my life thus far. I am excited to see what comes next.”

“I was referred to LaRen from a friend. I went in to this class not knowing much about Reiki and left with a great appreciation of energy healing and a drive to develop my practice. Also, I leave with more trust in the process rather than a need to know everything. The space is very cozy and comfy with lots of good light and warmth. If it were any bigger, it would have felt impersonal. This class gave me a lot of understanding and motivation to improve on myself. I enjoyed the class so much that I booked a full Reiki session with LaRen. It was absolutely what I needed and felt divine. LaRen seems to know exactly what to say and what to do. She is a very loving presence and holds the client’s highest potential in her consciousness. In gratitude.“

Having studied other levels in Australia and Thailand, I was interested in what a Hawaii class may hold for me. From the very start, LaRen was very present and made me feel very comfortable with my decision. As it is, her class was incredible. I am so pleased with this experience. If you are interested in Reiki, LaRen is a beautiful, knowledgeable and inspirational person and spirit. I am so happy and grateful to have the opportunity to have had this time with her. We shared so much. She has enhanced my understanding of Reiki significantly as well as I have grown positively as a result of meeting her and look forward to re-connecting again.”

"The class was a wonderful experience. I am really happy I found LaRen. She has a beautiful spiritual connection to her work. Her space is a quiet, clean and safe haven in the middle of Kailua Kona town. She begins and ends the class with a reverent prayer. Her thoughtful caring intention set the tone for the two day class and closed it with a loving note. Her kindness, patience, acceptance, guidance and healing touch were very much needed and appreciated. I really enjoyed the hands-on practice and learned a lot from all of the material she passionately shared. Energy medicine is the perfect addition to my massage work. I will be back for more training from LaRen."

"I enjoyed my Reiki level I workshop so much, I came back two weeks later for the Introductory Energy Healing class. LaRen is very loving, zen, open and honest. It was a blessing to go down this journey with LaRen. I really enjoyed how deep and personal the experiences have been for me. I have so much more confidence in my self, my abilities and in my connection to source. It is incredible this holistic healing can be learned and practiced by anyone with a desire and willingness to learn. I will be back for more. This was a highly evolving experience."

"After two remarkable experiences with LaRen, one in person for a session and one online for a class, I was inspired to take the introductory energy healing workshop. Even though it was at a distance, it was another amazing experience; LaRen's love for what she does is infectious. While I would have loved to do the class in person, I am so grateful the technology allows us to do these classes remotely. I can't wait to learn more. I have genuine appreciation for LaRen and for what she does."

The timing finally came together and I took the plunge for the Energy Medicine class. I couldn't be more pleased with the North Kohala office not having to deal with the Kona traffic. This was an amazing time for me to learn, go within, and to discover new parts of myself. It was a beautiful experience. I am so blessed to be feeling the gentleness of the Reiki energy and in being able to now combine it with feedback and assessment skills. I am so grateful for having LaRen in my life.”

“After taking two Reiki classes from LaRen, I had to learn more. LaRen beautifully married the Energy Healing teachings with Reiki. They complement each other seamlessly. She was so engaging and her explanation of the topics were done with passion, gratitude and respect. Everything was in such balance from learning about the origins of Energy Healing, to sharing experiences, clarifying the materials, engaging in hands-on exercises and practice, all coupled with wise life advice and talking story. Every aspect was perfect. I felt so comfortable and sincerely grounded in my experience and confident in my practice. Her meditations are the most beautiful I have ever heard. I love how she personalizes everything with heartfelt meaning. Hearing her voice connects me to my inner knowing. She has inspired me in more ways than I imagined.

"As an Advanced Reiki Practitioner, it was time to expand my skill set and experience LaRen's other offerings. Already through her second of three Energy Healing classes, LaRen has made the process so practical, with homework and suggestions backed by knowledge and personal experience. FIVE STARS!!! I love the conversational aspects, the direct attention. There is always so much transpiring below the surface, transmissions from her eyes, her gaze and clearly-intended focus. Her classes can never be replicated online! The materials are consistently well organized, the location perfect, the content meaningful. The time goes by so quickly. I have loved every minute of every class.”

I am so glad to learn the skills I was taught in the Introductory Energy Healing Class. LaRen is welcoming and creates a comfortable environment to learn and is very knowledgeable and patient to answer all questions. It is an awesome class with an awesome teacher. I really enjoyed the Kapa’au office as it is easy to find, conveniently located, has lots of parking, and is so inviting. It could not have been more perfect. Her space is very comfortable and welcoming and I loved the indoor and outdoor platform. It was wonderful to feel the breeze, listen to the birds and look upon the cloud speckled skies. LaRen was very thorough and made me feel very relaxed with her heart centered care. This was a very rewarding and amazing experience. It could not have been any better. I would not have changed anything at all.

“I spent time in India getting certified to teach yoga where I was first introduced to meditation and to the chakras. My curiosity led me to explore the Halai Energy Healing workshop. LaRen presents exactly what is represented in the class description. While her class is geared for those new to the chakra system, I still gained valuable insights and tools for seeing and feeling the auric field and I have a straight forward approach to comprehending the energy system and balancing the chakras for others. She took the ‘mystery’ out of the elusive and teaches a simple and tangible mechanism for assessing anyone’s energy system along with providing valuable exercises to help students keep their own body and mind in balance. This was a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to applying this to my work with others.”

It build on the foundation I started when I did my level one Reiki certification with her three years ago. Since I was the only student we shared more of our lives with each other and I came to learn how she got to where she is today. The exercises and techniques I learned in her class were awesome.

“I found the workshop ‘Introductory Halai Energy Healing’ on-line; the website represents the class and the center very well. It was an intimate experience and ideal to have the one to one teaching and learning situation. Putting the practice and principles in the context of the history and philosophy of energy healing gave a good foundation for understanding the techniques. This was a very enriching, enlightening and healing experience. There was a good balance between the information and explanation and actual practicing . The mood was always relaxed and yet focused, so a very safe and open climate for learning. I especially appreciated the insights in to the my troubling family situation that helped clarify a direction to take.

“I have so much endless gratitude for each and every moment with LaRen. She is a genuine wealth of knowledge and creates such sacred space in which to share. I am so grateful for all of the precious time she took with me to discuss health. I cannot wait to connect again. I definitely look up to her as a mentor and am so appreciative of her patience, support, loving advice, open heart and smile.”

“I didn’t know what to expect and honestly felt so forlorn that I figured I had nothing to lose. I have been in chronic pain throughout my entire body and have generally been depressed for a very long time, not feeling the joy in living at all. My first session with LaRen was nearly four hours and worth every minute. I am amazed after only two sessions and a month or so later how different I feel. The closest way I can describe it is, ‘I feel like my old self again.’ Most of my pain in my body and in my joints is gone with exception of two isolated areas that seem to be diminishing by the day. My attitude is different and even those who are close to me are acting nicer to me. It is as if my whole world has shifted. I am so grateful for LaRen. I have easily lost my taste for many foods that previously I thought I would never give up. I see I was making choices, ironically to find comfort, that created a nasty cycle of inflammation inside of my body. I feel more youthful and hopeful again.”

“It was an incredible experience meeting La`Ren. I am so thankful to have connected and was afforded the opportunity to have such a release. This was a catalyst for deep reflection of my choices and bringing my awareness to making positive shifts. I feel so much more stable in my being and am integrating back to life being more careful of what energies I bring in. I can’t thank her enough and am very fortunate to have met her. Lots of love.”

“I am so grateful for my wonderful session with LaRen and for her loving follow up and attention. I kept her nurturing words in my heart throughout the evening following our appointment and allowed myself to have the remainder of the day to myself just as she suggested. It truly feels like a divine blessing to have met her and to have been shown the healing power of love and Reiki. I am grateful for all of the wisdom and knowledge she has shared with me. I am more informed and empowered than before and look forward to the next time she and I reconnect.”

“I am incredibly fortunate to have LaRen’s teachings, blessings and medicine. I have felt so much better since my session with her.

”LaRen’s space, kindness, personal passion and her energy really resonates with me. She exudes compassion and is incredibly encouraging. She is quite disciplined and has an innate perfection in knowing the information most needed to pass forward. She delivers it always in a soft and kind manner that enables others to flourish.”

“My consultation with LaRen was exactly what I needed to cap off my trip to the Big Island. I so appreciated the depth of detail that she went in to, not only in her questions of me but in her responses to mine. I was blown away by all of the information I gained. It all made so much sense. I learned so much and am super excited to bring in to my life to go to the next level in my journey towards higher health. She has awesome follow up as well, the extent of which I did not expect. This has been a huge gift.”

“My sessions with LaRen have been pivotal. I feel so comfortable with LaRen. I have recommended her to others and they too have had great results with their sessions. She is very knowledgeable and delivers information in a way that is encouraging and supportive. My treatments with her have a way of pushing a reset button as they naturally align me to Spirit. I am so fortunate I have found her. I have had a few distance treatments in addition to several in person sessions. I am always amazed by the power of the work. LaRen always seems to say exactly what I need to hear.”

“I would be wrong not to relay how impactful my session with LaRen was. I’ve told all my friends about my experience, her kindness and the wealth of information she offered me. They too seem hungry for information. Like the proverbial pebble in the pond and its outward influence, so LaRen has been for me and beyond. She should know her work spreads farther than Kona. I thank her for that. I’ve changed my lifestyle tremendously. I’m a work in progress, but I’ve made big changes and feel better for it. I’m wishing I could be nearer LaRen for sessions going forward. I was so balanced after being with her. Her work could serve me well more regularly. I even want to explore Reiki classes. LaRen is very sweet and caring and her well wishes are heartfelt and well received.”

“I had a session with LaRen while I was visiting the Big Island and I am so glad I did. The rest of my trip went very well. I am so grateful. I felt much more relaxed and less panicked after meeting up with her. I really wish we lived near to each other because her work is amazing. She also gave me lots of aspects of my life to take note of. I am curiously noticing many things that I am doing that are not good for me.Noticing is a good first step. She has been a catalyst for change. I am excited to implement new more favorable habits in to my life to maintain more peace of mind.”

“It is always good to see LaRen and to be around her presence. I felt amazed after the energy healing session and simply had a wonderful evening, just chilling. She is such a wonderful spirit and I am so glad I have made the connection with her. Besides her thoughtfulness, she is a resource of great information. I will definitely be in touch again before I leave.”

“I treated my daughter to a session with LaRen. I am so glad I did . She took such good care of her. It has been a few days and she is much better, more positive, open, and she LOVED the session. Now when we are talking about someone she will interject, ‘Maybe they need a session with LaRen.’ LaRen is so loving and as my daughter would say, 'awesome!'”
