grandchildren!”, she laughs.

the Kamehameha Schools, an elite school for children

activity director for Lunalilo Home, a care facility
for elderly Hawaiians that was set up by Hawaii’s
King William Charles Lunalilo. As their Kahu,
minister, she did clearings, blessings and services
for them and continues to do blessings for homes and
businesses in Hawaii, Japan, and on the mainland.
Currently, Kumu teaches Lomilomi at Hawaii Healing
Arts College in Kailua, and at the National Holistic

Lomilomi seminars to Japanese-speaking students. She
also teaches Lomilomi to families who want to be
able to share it with other family members and
friends.
“My life is so full,” she says, “I am truly blessed”
Once
long, long ago
there existed a
continent that
spanned much of
the Pacific.
It’s boundaries
reached as far
East as to
almost touch the
West Coast of
the United
States; as far
North as Japan,
and as far South
as New Zealand.
This continent
was known as
Lemuria or Mu.
It was the
motherland, a
place of amazing
beauty and
unconditional
love, located on
grids of energy
associated with
Stonehenge,
Sedona, and the
great Pyramids
of Egypt. Those
who lived there
communicated
telepathically
with each other,
and were known
as The Children
of the Rainbow,
the children of
God’s promise.
The inhabitants
were of races as
diverse as the
rainbow, and
lived together
in peace and
harmony. An
advanced
civilization of
healing, the
Children of the
Rainbow used
crystals,
shells, color
and vibration to
maintain good
health. They
traveled to the
four corners of
the world
sharing their
culture of peace
and love. One
day a great
catastrophe
occurred, a
gigantic wave
came, destroying
Lemuria and
sinking it to
the depths of
the ocean. All
that remained
was a large
expanse of water
and the very
highest mountain
tops.
Have
you ever had a
yearning to go
home?
