Story from Common Ground Magazine, On the Path, Winter 2002 In my growing up years in Southern California, I lived in a love-filled home that my mother built with her mother.

Story from Common Ground Magazine, On the Path, Winter 2002 In my growing up years in Southern California, I lived in a love-filled home that my mother built with her mother. It seemed only appropriate for my mother to help me build my home in Hawaii, now The Dragonfly Ranch: Healing Arts Center. Creating this nurturing environment while honing my healing skills has been my life's work. When I turned 30, I was gifted two extraordinary blessings: (1) to be the Big Island’s first lomilomi massage student of world renown kahuna haha, Aunty Margaret Machado, and (2) to become the steward of beautiful acreage in the middle of the ancient "Healing Triangle" on Hawaii's Kona Coast. My dear mother/best friend helped me build my unique home here until she was diagnosed with life-threatening cancer in 1978. Together we decided to travel around, experiencing holistic treatments at several healing centers in and out of the US. While I seriously studied diet and nutrition, I gave my mother lomilomi massage regularly. We did a series of cleansing programs together, fasting and doing colonics for several days at a time. Miraculously, and much to the surprise of the doctors, my mother cured herself. She then continued to help me with my education in the healing arts while we developed the Dragonfly Ranch into a healing center.
