About Mallanalli
Born in Embudo, New Mexico, of Basque, Mexican, Spanish and Ute Indian lineage, Mallanalli comes from a curendera culture and family. She is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine with a degree from the International Institute of Chinese Medicine in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a trained acupuncturist and masseuse, and studied with various healers in Hawaii and Mexico.
Mallanalli's specialty is a form of bodywork -- Hawaiian Temple Bodywork - Lomi Lomi Nui -- that incorporates all of her training, experience, inspiration, and knowledge. This type of bodywork is based on an ancient Hawaiian form called "flying." This work is transformative, compassionate, nurturing and treats body, mind and spirit to bring them into balance.
Mallanalli offers professional development workshops that enable her to share with fellow practitioners her approach to body work done with integrity and to prepare therapists for the spiritual and intellectual challenges of sustained, professional work.
Massage therapy work can often lead to exhaustion if not done with the proper care. At hotels and spas around Mexico and the U.S., Mallanali works with therapists helping them learn how they can conserve their energy, replenish themselves for their work, and provide greater benefit to their clients.
