About our Spa in Kailua, Oahu

Our Lomilomi Hana Lima Ohana would like to invite you to bring forth healing, awaken your senses, and soothe your soul with our treatments. We welcome individuals of all ages, and from diverse backgrounds, to immerse themselves in the experiential and educational services our experts provide.

Rooted in tradition

Our goal is to provide a bridge between the Hawaiian Elders’ Voices of Wisdom and those who want to benefit from the beliefs that lead to self-empowerment in order to raise their consciousness and return to their daily lives awakened, strengthened and refreshed.

At Lomilomi Hana Lima, it is our loving intent to create a restful place for physical and spiritual renewal and re-connection to what makes the heart sing. Through our services, we will provide therapeutic support to improve the quality of life for all those who enter our care, no matter their current stage of wellness. That is why we are happy to provide lomilomi for everyone, including: keiki, hapai, and kupuna.

Service with Aloha

With the proper pairing of client and practitioner, injuries and illnesses can be alleviated, and the healing process expedited. Many ‘miracles’ have taken place within this special center. Our therapists’ expertise range from energy work to deep tissue, from sports massage to a massage for relief of a specific pain. Our Staff ensures that everyone is treated as an honored guest and is given guidance to maintain a life in balance.

True Island Aloha is offered at Lomilomi Hana Lima with sophistication, elegance and warmth, so that all our guests immediately feel at peace, regardless of what they have chosen to experience in the way of our many treatment options.

Our team of therapists, estheticians and receptionists are all passionate about providing you with the True Aloha Experience.

Meet Our Team

Eri Mahealani Sakai-Virden

Founder, Kumu Lomi, Lomilomi Practitioner, Aromatherapist, LMT

Eri’s love for Hawaii started at an early age. A native of Nagoya, Japan, her family traveled often to Hawaii, and she remembers falling in love with the islands, the culture, and everything Hawaiian from the age of nine, deepening with every trip here.

Eri’s youth included a rich educational background, both scholastically as well as in the healing realm. She credits two teachers who made the greatest impact on her in this way. The first of these was Ms. Saburi, who taught Eri through demonstration and observation, the ability to bring forth healing using energy. Her father also shared with her his gift of an understanding of healing energy through his own spirituality.

Eri studied dance, through ballet, from a very early age. This grace served her later when she began to study hula with Hawaiian kumu who traveled to Japan. Her poise and love of Hawaiian music and hula led her to a coveted spot in a competing halau in the Big Island’s Merrie Monarch Festival in the year 2000. In 2007, she returned to the Merrie Monarch stage with her hula sisters and Kumu Kapua Dalire as a Hawaii resident, and she was truly excited.

Lomilomi and Hawaiian healing arts became a profound interest after successfully completing and becoming certified in a rigorous course of study in aromatherapy, anatomy and physiology in Japan. She enrolled in Long Life Lomilomi under Kumu Dane Silva in Pahoa, Hawaii, and studied with him for several years. She also studied with Kumu Alva Andrews for many years. This led to the opening of her own lomilomi and aromatherapy clinic in Nagoya, which she successfully ran for over four years.

Eri moved to Hawaii twelve years ago, now has two sons, ages seven and nine years. She assisted Kumu Brenda with teaching lomilomi workshops at Hawaii Healing Arts College and other locations. She earned her Kumu Lomi status with HLA 2005, and now shares her many gifts at Lomilomi Hana Lima. One of these gifts is her use of listening skills, which awakens her intuition and allows her to express her loving compassion.

Eri also has many high profile repeat clients. Please contact her directly if you are interested in her high quality private house call services. Eri’s special out call fees are not listed on the spa service menu.
