Name Change

In 2022, Malana chose to change her born name to Malana Hokulani. This decision was motivated by a desire to:

  • Align with her spiritual and healing path
  • Disassociate herself from her abusers and their family dynamics

"Witnessing your work has helped me uncover repressed sexual trauma and to feel like a human being. To not feel stupid for allowing this toxicity in life, rather being gentle with myself on the path to recovery and healing and for that I am extremely grateful for your presence, energy and work. Truly a blessing."

"I learned so much from Malana. She is very gentle, compassionate and caring, it’s like having an earth angel to help you thru the uncertainty of life, an empathetic friend to hold your hand, when you need it. That is priceless in today’s world. I was able to utilize some of this new knowledge to make some positive changes in my life, career changes and I even started talking about what I had been thru to help inspire others who have also been thru trauma."

"I love your RAW honesty about everything. There is no sugar coating. No fluff. You say it straight. But you also are incredibly positive and funny. Your humor reminds me that even though the skies may seem all gray, there are silver linings– the sun is fully shining behind the clouds just out of view. And soon my clouds will dissipate, just as they have done for you. Thanks for being the inspiration that you are."

"I was immediately drawn to Malana's unabashed openness about the major transitions she was working through in life. Her energy and GLOW was undeniable and so magnetic! She provides so much valuable information regarding not just physical health but also emotional and spiritual. The passion and love she feels for helping other women find, heal, and amplify their own personal GLOW is so evident by the information that she shares and how she interacts with and supports her community."
