David Gaynes brings Wellness with Aloha the benefit of his mainland expertise in software and business combined with his passion for wellness. Having visited the islands steadily over almost two decades, he made the permanent transition in 2006/2007. From Chicago to Seattle to Sandpoint, Idaho, he'd lived some of the best places in America before deciding to settle on the Big Island.

As the former president of the Hawaii Island Wellness Travel Association, he has connections with a wide range of healers and modalities. He has been instrumental in helping people on the island better offer their services to a worldwide audience and is honored to be accepted by the island and by its people for his offering of service in building bridges between them and those who seek deeper Hawaiian wisdom.

"It wasn't long after I came to the Big Island that I realized that there was no direct connection between the local healing community and the travelers potentially seeking their services," says Gaynes. "I just thought there should be some way of creating that connection, there are plenty of visitors looking for just that kind of authentic experience and unable to find it. After all, even the Hawaiians call this the Healing Island!"

The rest of our team is dedicated to doing the homework and providing the service so that your wellness experience is just what you need on all levels. We visit all areas of the island on a daily basis to research our practitioners and examine accommodations on your behalf. We will never send you anywhere or to meet anyone that we don't know!

Earning your trust is as important as anything else we do. We will always put forth our very best efforts to assure your visit to Hawaii is filled to the brim with authentic aloha.
