About Dr. Sierra Sugrue
I believe in and continue to orient myself in the unified field of consciousness where all beings are interwoven as the fabric of life. I, myself, like You are threads contributing to this tapestry of human beings. With this level of conscious awareness, the only desire that arises is the wellbeing of the whole. That is why I have created this retreat space. It is the culmination of my own healing and the healing that I have witnessed in others. Healing can also be called peace. To find healing is to find peace and calm. Any healing that lasts in our body and our mind is the result of our innermost sense of peace within the present moment.
Welcome to a place where you will be nourished and loved just as you are. It is my deepest honor to bring you into this sanctuary of peace so you can experience your own sense of calm.
For the past 20 years, I have devoted my personal and professional training to the healing arts. I continue to study and implement teachings and practices from yogic tradition, Japanese meridian energy medicine, Western neuroscience, Naturopathic Medicine, craniosacral therapy, myofascial and visceral therapies, herbal medicine, traditional medicines, nutritional medicine, the list is endless really! My desire to feel whole, at peace, and in joy motivates me to deconstruct the patterns in my mind and body that create restrictions. The more I unravel these inherited and learned patterns, the more I become aware of my deepest nature and my own truth. It is from this place of on-going healing and transformation that I offer myself to be of service to You.

Keri Sender
Keri unexpectedly migrated from the Big Apple to the Big Island over a decade ago. She currently lives in an off-grid eco-village in Ka Lae (South Point), where she farms organic vegetables, helps steward the land, and affectionately cares for humans, cats, dogs, peacocks and goats.
Keri has been facilitating transformative sessions with others for as long as she’s been living on the island. Though she has a Masters in Clinical Social Work, her practice has evolved into one that strays away from conventional Western psychology (which often pathologizes symptoms and behaviors) to an approach that believes we each carry our own medicine within us — including in our symptoms and behaviors. Keri uses Process Work, Tarot Readings, Past-life Regression, Energy Movement and Conscious Dance to help others to access this innate wisdom.

Alila Grace
Aloha, I’m Alila Grace, a nervous system guide and embodied beauty practitioner devoted to helping women return to the wisdom of their bodies. My work weaves together somatic therapeutics, sacred pelvic care, and feminine-rooted beauty rituals to support softness, vitality, and deep inner belonging.
I’m passionate about the blossoming of women; from her face to her pelvic floor, and deep within her nervous system. I see these as intimately connected portals into her most loving, relaxed, and radiant essence.
My approach is rooted in the yin—slow, attuned, and deeply nourishing. Whether we’re working with the root, the face, or the breath, I meet your body where it’s at. My intention is to create a sacred, safe haven for you to restore your radiance from the inside out.
Restoring Radiance: Offerings
My work is devoted to supporting women in coming home to their bodies; softening, healing, and reconnecting to the rhythms that live beneath the surface. My sessions blend nervous system integration, sacred pelvic care, and somatic facial work.
The face and pelvic floor are both doorways into the deep feminine. When tended together, they open you to the sacred space where power and beauty are married and embodied from within.
Pelvic care is a return to your root, a way of listening to the stories held in your womb, fascia, and nervous system patterns. I access the pelvic bowl through yoni steaming, Holistic Pelvic Care™, womb massage, and energetic explorations.
Facial sessions include Gua Sha and fascia-based touch to unwind tension, release emotional holding, and restore your face as a center of feminine expression and beauty.
Breath and core restoration practices inspired by Low Pressure Fitness may also be gently woven into sessions to support vagal tone, diaphragmatic mobility, and pelvic vitality. My sessions are often described as a lift of the spirit, a refresh of the nervous system, and a deep drink of embodied wisdom.
Hawaii Retreat
Our all-inclusive retreats take place immersed in the healing power of nature. We are surrounded by lush jungle and sit perched above a spring-fed waterfall that is easily accessible via our jungle trail. Many folks refer to the Big Island as the root chakra of the planet. The active volcano is constantly giving birth to new land and creates a powerful portal of healing energy. There is a Hawaiian prophecy that tells of the people of the world coming to Hawaii to heal – it says that aloha will heal the world. Further, it is crystal clear that our personal healing is woven into and inseparable from planetary healing. To feel whole and at peace, we need to know that we are cultivating, contributing to, and connected to the health of our Earth.
