The Mauli Way...
The Mauli Way is YOUR way. We are all unique and we all have our own passions and our own paths in life. That's the beauty of it all. Your "Mauli" is your uniqueness and what makes you YOU. The Mauli Way is a celebration of that. Our purpose is to bring out the best in you so that you can live your best life. Transformation is the hardest thing an individual can do, but with support and guidance and a few magical moments and the right people along the way - it happens! Sprinkle in connections with new friends, the "mana" (spiritual energy) that the Big Island offers, with time to reflect and introspect and you will understand why this retreat is so special.
Experience the magic and the aloha of the Mauli Way.
We are so excited to meet you, as you are now and even more excited to meet the you that you were always meant to be!
He OLA KO LOKO
I'm a part-time anesthesiologist working and living in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii since 2010. I absolutely love it here and love my life. I am also a mother, a surfer and an entrepreneur.
I used to work 60+ hour work weeks, took tons of call, headed a department and juggled the responsibilities of being a new mom and went through tough times with my partner. I was in survival mode. I didn't want to be tired, frustrated, pessimistic and just plain unhappy anymore. Covid was actually a gift that gave me time to introspect, re-evaluate my life and figure out a better way. It took me YEARS to figure things out and I wish I had been more pro-active in transforming my life to what it is now... and that is why the Mauli Way came to be. I love the Big Island. I love feeding people and hosting. And more than anything, I love helping people be happy.
Let me show you the way to living a life that you love!

When was the last time you took inventory of your life? Probably when you wrote your personal statement for medical school applications and again for residency! Losing touch with what provides us with meaning in our lives, leads us to a life that feels just like that "meaningless". Stop just surviving and transition to thriving! Give yourself the gift of just 5 days in Hawaii with us, so that you have time to reflect, introspect and reacquaint yourself with who you are, but more importantly who you want to become...
To help you understand who you are so that you can live how you want...
Our Mission
Who knew how 5 days on the Big Island of Hawaii could be so impactful?
Have no regrets. Live the life that you deserve!

Communications and logistics are this woman's forte as a mother of 4 and wife to an MD. You'll get to know her well as you'll see her pinch hitting where ever and when ever we need her. We all need a Christina in our lives!
