Eileen

A life-long resident of Hawaii, Eileen grew up on a sugar cane plantation in Ewa, Oahu. With the support of two very hard working parents, she was able to attend and graduate from the University of Hawaii in Manoa with a B.Ed. in Secondary Math Education, the first in her family to go to college.

Eileen spent the next 31 years with FCH Enterprises, doing business as Zippy's Restaurants. Starting as an office clerk, she worked her way up to Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer by the time of her retirement in 2002.

Currently, Eileen is a practitioner of Healing Touch and Reiki for humans and animals, as well as a partner in Kalehua Productions/Hawaii Institute of Healing Arts and owner of Mana'o I'o, provider of fine hand crafted silk and fresh floral bouquets and arrangements, ribbon and silk floral leis, feathered kahilis and soon to be introduced, a line of wedding jewelry.

Through the Hawaii Institute of Healing Arts, Eileen offers Healing Touch, a non-invasive relaxation or energy balancing technique that promotes relaxation and stress reduction, decreases anxiety and discomfort, and supports the individual in self-healing, as well as Reiki, a Japanese technique of hands on healing, similar to Healing Touch. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words. Rei is God's Wisdom or the Higher Power. Ki is life force energy. Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy. Eileen's skills in these energy modalities were developed by hundreds of hours of practice. She welcomes both people and canines to her Healing Touch and Reiki practice and is currently focusing on her work with animals.

Eileen was ordained as a minister of Universal Ministries in April 2004 and is authorized by the State of Hawaii, to perform marriage ceremonies. As owner of Mana'o I'o, she also creates silk and fresh floral arrangements, bridal bouquets and kahilis for wedding ceremonies - to see some of her work, please go to Weddings By Kalehua and click on the Bouquets tab.

You may contact Eileen for appointments in Healing Touch and Reiki for yourself or your pet, as well as for consultation in selecting wedding flowers for your special day.
