Welcome
to a warm and comfortable environment where you can enjoy deep
relaxation and a therapeutic massage. Located on the North Shore of
Oahu in Waialua at Ka'ala Healing Arts just outside Haleiwa. We are
experienced and professional massage therapists who will listen and
give you a massage treatment specifically to meet your needs. We
specialize in helping you feel better!!!
Make your vacation complete! Book ahead and receive a relaxing
therapeutic massage when you arrive to get the kinks out and then enjoy
your time exploring the island. Same day appointments are sometimes
available.
Try a new kind of massage - Ashiatsu -This deep pressure massage has
been claimed as one of the most luxurious massages on the planet! This
massage is given with the therapist's feet which fit the contours of
the back, shoulder blades, hips and legs. The broad firm stroke soothes
tight muscles making you feel relaxed and stretched out. For those who
think they've tried it all. Most people say they cannot tell that I am
using my feet! Check out Youtube videos on ashiatsu. Abby Parker, suite
#204; Sonia Beauchamp suite 203; and Jennifer Ueno, are the only
therapist (to my knowledge) that do ashiatsu work on the North Shore of
Oahu.
Get Relief from Stress! Traveling, working hard, studying,
emotional trauma or caring for family? Take time to give back to
yourself!
Recovering from an Injury? We have experience helping people recover
from an injury due to a car accident, repetitive use, and athletic
strains. Whiplash, leg or back strains are common injuries from a car
accident. We accept no fault insurance and worker's compensation. No
fault insurance is your car insurance that allows you to receive
medical treatment if you get injured in an accident. This includes
massage with a prescription from a doctor. Repetitive use
injuries include: tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis or
golfer's elbow, rotator cuff injuries, hip and knee pain. Massage can
reduce pain, increase circulation, relax the nervous system and help
you get back to yourself again.
Headaches, sciatica, scoliosis, or other postural issues? Massage can
help relieve tension, discomfort and strain felt with these conditions.
It also lets you know and feel where other effected areas are. Often
the cause of pain is not the same area as where it is felt.
Gift Certificates are an excellent way to say thank you or I love you!
Think of us next Valentine's Day, holiday, birthday, or just because
you care.
Open 7 days a week by appointment.

About Us:
Abby Parker
I love being a massage therapist! I opened my practice at Ka'ala
Healing Arts in March 2003. Since becoming licensed in 2001 I have
taken 2-3 continued education classes every year. Although swedish is
the technique I use the most, I blend in lomilomi, myofascial release,
stretching or more specific medical massage techniques where and when
needed. Ashiatsu is another one of my favorite massages to give. This
is for people who love deep pressure. I also really enjoy working with
people who have been in a car accident and feel I am very good at
soothing the nervous system first and relieving the pain and stress
that comes during recovery. As someone who knows first hand about a
curved spine, I welcome people with scoliosis, kyphosis or other
postural issues. For those who like having a better understanding of
the muscles, fascia and healing, I am happy to share what I have been
taught and have experienced. I also enjoy teaching you how to take
better care of your back!
I enjoy surfing, sculpting with clay, painting, shelling and life! My
approach to massage is like art or a wave, be ready for something new
and different every time...
Education:
Graduate of the American Institute of Massage Therapy, Kailua, HI
March 2001
Continued Education Classes:
Lomilomi (I have taken several classes with different teachers,
different techniques, same philosophy. Looking at a person as a
spiritual and energetic being to work out the physical ailments. Always
asking for the body's permission and guidance before working.)
Repetitive Use Injury Therapy and Soft Tissue Release (Both use
stretching to release congestion and tightness in the muscles.)
Myofascial Release (John Barnes approach, using little to no oil to
free up the fascia layers, which is the connective tissue throughout
the body.)
Craniosacral Therapy (Upledger Institute. I have completed the first
level, and love the occipital release (the base of the skull where the
cervical spine joins.)
Lymph Drainage (Upledger Institute. I have completed the first level,
and work the neck and face for sinuses, wrinkles, bags under the eyes
or just to get the lymph moving.)
Thai Massage (Studied in Chang Mai, Thailand. Although I love this
massage, I am not currently using this technique. Sorry!)
Ashiatsu (The broad firm strokes given by the therapist's foot will
leave you feeling "ironed out"! A favorite to give.)
Medical Massage (David Morin. Series of 5 classes, now at #4. Specific
techniques, assessment, rehabilitation exercises, terminology etc. for
injuries commonly seen by massage therapist.)
Self taught through receiving massage, reading articles in massage
professional magazines and home study DVD's and books.
