Our values
Weight inclusive approach: Ke'alohi believes that your health and wellness go beyond the number on the scale alone. When working together, weight is not seen as a health behavior, so health and nutrition interventions are not designed to impact one's weight but rather to encourage health behaviors such as rejecting diet culture, eating a wide variety of foods, moving your body in an enjoyable way, etc. Learn to find holistic health without the pursuit of weight loss.
Cultural humility: Ke'alohi believes that you can honor your health, culture, and cravings without removing foods. Learn about positive nutrition without giving up the foods you love!
Specialty care: Ke'alohi accepts clients 18 years and older. Her specialities are Native Hawaiian nutrition, postpartum nutrition, disordered eating along with Eating disorders (Bulimia nervosa, Binge eating disorder, OSFED, compulsive exercise.)
Current in-network provider with the following insurances: HMSA & UHA

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Kealohi for almost a year now and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As someone who was controlled by diet culture and unrealistic body image societal “norms”, I can proudly say that with Kealohi’s help I’ve been able to heal and transform my relationship with food and my body. I love how easy it is to talk with Kealohi. From the very beginning, I knew we were in a safe space to discuss the various aspects of overall health, but especially nutrition. Due to diet culture, I thought of food as good and bad with no room to enjoy eating. I wasn't taking into account how food can also serve as a cultural connection to my ancestors or a childhood memory that reminded me of a loving time. I ate certain foods because I felt I had to and didn't enjoy other foods thinking they were detrimental to my health. I had no clue that what was really harmful to me were the restrictions, shame, and guilt I associated with eating. Kealohi helped me find more flow and flexibility while still having boundaries for my health and personal goals. I love that I am able to eat without guilt and simply love and honor my body for the hard work it does to keep me alive. I honestly never thought I would be free in this way and I am so grateful that Kealohi helped me to achieve this freedom.

"I’ve been working with Ke'alohi for almost a year now. I remember after our first two sessions I thought is this Wahine crazy the only way I can love myself is by dieting and losing weight. But after each session that we had I realized how these fad diets made me so unhappy. They’d work for a bit and then I would “mess up” and have “cheat meals” and have to restart my diets all over again. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t trust my body, and how much I restricted myself from enjoying food. Since working with Ke'alohi I’ve gotten comfortable with myself knowing I can choose to nurture my body with any food, if I am craving chocolate I will have that chocolate and not feel guilty or starve myself for the rest of the day. Or bargain with myself that I’d walk a mile since I treated myself to the chocolate. I still have a lot of work to do to be the best version of myself and working with Ke'alohi has definitely made a positive impact on my life."
