Mentorship via Internship

The Urban Spa Group provides a new model for mentoring interns. On today's SpaTalk you'll have an opportunity to hear from Brenda Mohalapua Ignacio, the Owner of Hawaii's Lomilomi Hana Lima Spa, and Intern Lisa Marie Perez, who are currently engaged in that process. Brenda Mohalapua Ignacio is a Kumu Lomilomi and Kahu (Hawaii Minister) and Licensed Instructor of Hawaiian Healing Arts. She has appeared in several award-winning films on Hawaiian Healing with other beloved island kumu and featured in magazines and books on Lomilomi Massage. Co-founder of Hawaii Healing Arts College on Oahu, Kumu Brenda taught many students to fulfill their purpose and become empowered by the wisdom given to her by her own teachers, many of whom entrusted her with formerly secret knowledge that was held sacred by Hawaiian families. Her credentials include Licensed Massage Therapist, Hawaii DOE Licensed Instructor, Approved Instructor with The Hawaiian Lomilomi Association, and co-founder of Lomilomi Hana Lima, a healing center and spa, with her daughter-in-law and son. If you're looking for a way to bring interns into your facility without tying up a lot of time and resources, or if you're looking for an innovative way to get hands-on experience in a spa setting, you'll want to tune in to SpaTalk for this conversation.
