My Story

Psychologist, Certified Coach, Empowerment Teacher, Speaker, Kumu Hawai’ian Spirituality, Author

Mission Statement: Helping persons who are struggling with anger, sadness, communication, and relationships; or simply feeling lost in life to better themselves and live the lives of their desires.

Some know me by the titled name. At home, in Hawai'i, I am known by my Hawai`ian name, Anela Uhane’ailanamoku (Loving Angel Spirit of the Islands). I have had long and successful careers as a performer, teacher, administrator, and director of several genres including television, theatre and dance, public speaking, and motivational life coaching.

Since childhood, I have sensed that life holds far more than what we can see or hear. A lifelong study of many ideologies, spirituality, and humanity led to a better understanding of this intuition. My gift has always been to perceive these hidden truths, bring them into the light, and guide others toward happier, more fulfilling lives because of them. By helping people shift their mindsets —the ways they think and feel in every aspect of their lives, I help to empower them to create lasting, positive change.

As I grew in strength and understandings, so did my teachings of these basic life principles. However, though well accomplished in many areas, and successfully helping others, I did not always practice what I preached. I often fell short of the types of successes that I thought I should have had. Living my grandest desires was often self-sabotaged... mostly, simply by bad choices, including not heeding my own advice. Like many, I have learned some things "the hard way".

One day, I was "re-'mind'-ed" of who I am… who we all are.

Today, with a well earned degree and an education of life lessons, I live and coach The Laws of Life. Based on a lifetime of silver spoons, hard knocks, and gained wisdoms on and off the path, it is my given, driven, and continued purpose to bring as many as I may to this knowledge and happiness. Life can be hard; Living it does not have to be.
