History

Established in 1988.

After successfully founding and administering the Monterey Institute of Touch in Monterey, California. John then ventured to Maui in 1985 and studied acupuncture, Lomi Lomi and continued his therapeutic massage practice.

In 1988, at the request of interested students and clients, John founded Maui Academy of Healing Arts (MAHA). As the name implies, what is taught at this unique facility goes well beyond the study of massage. MAHA holds a global vision and an ever-​evolving commitment to assist a student’s maturation process as they learn to integrate their innate skills with a variety of techniques and philosophical orientations.

Holding sacred space in the healing process is of utmost importance for all of us in this challenging world.

Preparing and supporting students and clients hearts, minds, spirits and bodies to successfully meet these challenges is what the school is all about.
