Throughout her professional career, she has led organizations, developed programs, and built meaningful relationships centered on service, collaboration, and helping others grow.<\/span><\/p>\n Today, Mahana brings those experiences together as a Touched by a Horse\u00ae Licensed Equine Facilitator, certified life coach, and founder of Wai~brations. Her approach is rooted in the belief that horses invite us to become more present, more aware, and more deeply connected\u2014with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.<\/span><\/p>\n Rooted in the wisdom of her ancestors and guided by the enduring spirit of Hawai\u02bbi, Mahana thoughtfully weaves ‘ike kupuna of connection, respect, balance, and relationship into every experience she facilitates.
