tidbits: hawaii wedding finds: the masseuse

i was lucky, privileged and humbled to take photographs at her wedding a few years ago, and after a few years of study, daya is now both a doula and a amazing masseuse. now, hopefully you won't need her services as a doula right away, but keep that in the back of your mind. a doula is someone who helps you during those painful and crazy hours of childbirth. A Doula is someone who is informed of the physical, emotional, and mental processes of labor & birth, advocates for the mom when she doesn't understand the procedures doctors are suggesting, helps with position changes, imagery, anything to help you achieve the type of birth you want.


her massage skills come in handy then, but especially now, with all the stress upon you with the wedding planning- or with the daily stresses of everyday life, work & play. i have had her work on the sore spots and i felt amazing afterwards, and a day after as well. she knows all the latest techniques, can do deep tissue, lomi lomi, trigger point release, lymphatic drainage, even cranial sacral (which is what i tried- and it was brilliant!) she practices out in kailua- the drive back over the pali has never been so amazingly green, tranquil and calming!!

please find more information on her website, dayaakina.com
