Kumu Alva James Andrews is a native of Hawai’i, a father, grandfather, and Viet Nam veteran. Andrews is also a gifted spiritual and physical healer. The form of lomilomi or Hawaiian massage, that Kumu Alva shares incorporates the use of ho’oponopono, along with the traditional hand and body applications. Kumu believes that there is a connection between the spirit, the mind, and the physical body. Thus, the function of a good lomilomi practitioner is to harmonize the various parts of a person’s being, in order to make them permanently healthy and balanced. There is a spiritual, mental and emotional dimension that must be factored into the Holistic approach that Kumu uses. For him, then, lokahi, or unity, is what is needed to effect permanent good health. Kumu firmly believes, as his ancestors did, that the body cannot be healed until the spirit is healed.

Traditional Healing Arts taught by Kumu Alva Andrews opens a pathway of ancient knowledge through Hawaiian concepts taught to instill a concept of well-being, or lomi-lomi. Harmonic balance spirit, mind and body.
