It's late afternoon and I hear the waves
lightly rolling in on the shore. The sun is casting its
shadow on the native palms, then a small breeze wisps by
my shoulder as if to take away the cares of the world. Then
the sky unfolds before me declaring the awesome sunset in
Hawai'i. Within moments I am sitting in the sand watching,
and waiting with anticipation, absorbing the spectacular
view in a 360. Aware of my surroundings only as if a faded
picture, the sunset takes front and center, majestically
lowering into the indigo sea, and painting an indelible
picture. I think my senses were heightened due to the fact
that my sight senses were diminishing by the sun setting
and my sense of smell took over. The sand, sea, flowers
and fruit slowly become more noticeable... then out of those
experiences, Koni Hawaiian was created.
Traveling to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands
for almost 27 years now, I have found nothing that compares
to the sights and scents of the islands. Trying to capture
it in a container I thought was nearly impossible. As a
licensed massage therapist I have worked with many creams
and oils. I have blended essential oils with massage oils
and shea butter to try and obtain the scent of Hawai'i.
I was like a mad scientist, mixing this and that and finally
coming up with a blend that to me is as close as I can get
to the fragrant aroma of Hawai'i.
The cream melts on contact with skin
and is great for Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage, in fact for
every massage modality.
We are a small, but growing company and
love our natural product.
