Palani meaning The Freeman or the Free Woman - is a common Hawaiian name.

But most Hawaiian's will also tell you it is a fish known for it's strong smell...
"Which probably stays out of the frying pan!"
And below is how I got my name...

I was (am) a student of Kumu Karen Leialoha Carroll for Lomi Lomi. She gave me the name Palani (see certificate on the left.) Pa - touch / Lani - of heaven. after completing her Lomi Lomi training.
Karen is a true community healer - spiritual and medicinal.
Lomi Lomi is more than massage, it is a connection with the energy of life around you.
To learn more, I suggest visiting her website and taking her class in Oahu. Click on her name to visit her site.

Two major element of Lomi Lomi is Ohana (the Hawaiian word for family) and Kokua (extending love into the community).  When you realize we are all a family, you realize the importance of the rainbow. Without diversity there are no colors, if the colors are not together, there are no rainbows.
