Helping others in various ways has always been a deep calling. This aspect of me shows in my career choices. Teaching yoga is a wonderful way to deeply change a students' physical body, become more centered and in touch with the deeper aspects of who they truly are. The choice of becoming a psychotherapist to help others experiencing difficulties came when I was nearly 40 years old. I went back to college for six years and graduated with a Master's Degree from UCLA in Clinical Social Work. This was in 1980. I still had 3 teenagers at home.
After receiving my degree I moved to Hawaii and began a private practice which became successful very quickly. I saw individuals in various situational difficulties, couples who were experiencing relationship problems and some families with children of all ages. My training was extremely varied. I use behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, client-centered therapy and hypnotherapy. In short, I use whatever works to help clients change in the direction of their choice.
Underlying all of my counseling is my own deep spiritual belief system which helps me to honor the beliefs of others and assist me to help the client find her own inner wisdom and spiritual connectedness. This aspect of my counseling has been profoundly influenced by my meditation teacher, Mirra, with whom I have studied for the past twelve years. Mirra has unerringly guided me inward and this journey has changed me in deep and marvelous ways.
Call if you are ready for an inner change, growth and transformation of your life in new and wonderful ways and are willing to act on those changes.

Young Living Essential Oils
I'm a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. I've found that these oils are exactly as they are represented by the company. They are pure, medicinal grade oils, distilled at low temperature and low pressure to ensure their highest quality. I've used most of the over 100 oils in the seven or eight years I've been a distributor. I have found them to be amazing in their curative powers for superficial problems as well as those that are more deeply embedded in the body. They have also proved excellent as an aid to my meditation practice. Most of the oils smell heavenly. Visit Young Living Essential Oils at, www.youngliving.com

Lotus Seat Meditation Cushion
Meditation has been a major part of my life for the past 12 years. I have found that comfort while sitting cross-legged on the floor is of primary importance. Even though I had done hatha yoga for many years, I still found my low back rounded and uncomfortable, my knees and groins ached when I sat for a long period of time in meditation. After experimenting with several possible aids, I settled on what is now named The Lotus Seat. It helps to correct the aching low back by tilting slightly forward in a wedge-shaped, cushioned small seat. It is high enough to allow the feet to be lower than the body to assist the knees and hips to open much more comfortably. It has sustained and comforted me in my meditative times. They are sold at Yoga Centers for $44.95. For wholesale information call me at 425.882.2503 or e-mail me at manailuna1@msn.com.

Mind Massage Audio Tape
I created this audio tape to help clients and others who have trouble sleeping and who experience difficultly in their ability to relax. I'm a hypnotherapist and incorporate this skill in my counseling practice and found that in using some of these techniques with my soothing voice that these tapes help people to relax and fall asleep peacefully. The tape is 30 minutes on each side. The first side includes my voice with soft background music. Side two has only the music which you won't hear because you'll be sound asleep! This tape is sold at Yoga Centers.
