About Us
Founded in 2021, NEVAEH ‘ŌHI‘A SANCTUARY, INC. is rooted in the resilience of the ʻōhiʻa lehua — the first to rise after fire, carrying new life into the ash. Like the ʻōhiʻa, our sanctuary began quietly, listening to the land and learning the needs of our Maui community.
When the Lahaina wildfires struck in August 2023, we stepped forward immediately, delivering food, water, and essential supplies directly to survivors in the burn zones — supported entirely from our founder’s personal resources. As Maui entered its season of regrowth, we offered free trauma‑informed yoga for over a year, creating gentle spaces where survivors could breathe, ground, and reconnect with the light within themselves.
Today, our mission remains unwavering: to nurture healing, resilience, and empowerment through accessible yoga, somatic practices, and compassionate community care — honoring the heaven that lives within every individual, just as the ʻōhiʻa honors the land by rising again.
Our Vision:
Our vision is to cultivate a healing sanctuary rooted in the resilience of the ʻōhiʻa lehua — a place where individuals can rise through their own seasons of challenge and reconnect with the light within. We envision a community wellness space where accessible yoga, somatic practices, and compassionate care are offered freely, honoring the inner heaven that guides each person’s healing.
As the ʻōhiʻa restores the land after fire, we strive to create a sanctuary that restores the heart — a physical home for grounding, breath, connection, and community resilience across Maui.
Our Mission:
We foster healing and well‑being through trauma‑supportive yoga, mindful movement, and meditation — nurturing resilience, restoring connection, and honoring the inner light that guides each person through life’s seasons.
