Kahu Pōmaika'i becoming ordained by Kumu Karen Leialoha Carroll in 2006 at the Kapuaokalani Heiau
E komo mai (welcome) to Hawaiian Aloha Blessings with Kahu Pōmaikaʻi.
Kahu Pōmaika’i has been trained and ordained in the old-school ways as a Hawaiian minister in Hawai’I since 2006.
There are perhaps thousands of wedding officiants available in the state of Hawai’i.
However, becoming a Kahu (honored attendant, minister, guardian) or Hawaiian minister in Hawai’i is increasingly becoming rare. The process and training Kahu Pōmaika’i received from her Kumu (teacher) took many years and are mostly no longer available. Kumu Karen Leialoha Carroll ordained Pōmaika’i as a Kahu in 2006. Pōmaika’i trained under her Kumu’s tutelage for over 4 years blessing large local hotels, homes and families which included Ho’oponopono (to make right) blessing.
She quickly learned the cleansing and healing power that ho’oponopono offers. She also became proficient in a spiritual type of Lomilomi (massage) that included opu huli (turned stomach) and shell healing. During these busy four years of old-school Kahu training, Pōmaika’i and Kumu Karen blessed the Hawai’i Prince Hotel yearly along with many other hotels, businesses and families. It was a rare and sacred opportunity to learn the traditional Hawaiian ways of Ho’oponopono, lōkahi (balance), huikala (forgiveness) and ho’omau (to persevere).
This rare training Kahu Pōmaika’i experienced has shaped her into the Kahu she is today. She is no doubt a modern day minister with traditional old-school Kahu training. Kahu Pōmaika’i went on to then bless properties such as the Moana Surfrider Hotel, the Sheraton Waikiki, The O’ahu Club, gyms, businesses, homes and families. She now supports Moanalua Gardens as their Kahu where she offers beautiful traditional Hawaiian weddings and vow renewals.
Pōmaika’i remains incredibly grateful for the training and experience she received from her dear Kumu and knows it is golden and few and far between.
In 2019 her Kumu crossed over the rainbow bridge with her loving ‘ohana by her side.
Kahu Pōmaika’i proudly continues her Kumu’s teachings and blesses those that meet her with her knowledge and Aloha with generations of love and support behind her.
Pōmaika'i also is a spiritual teacher, empath and intuitive healer. Her awakening began at a young age with various encounters with spirit guides, animal spirit guides and archangels.
Kahu Pōmaika'i specializes in performing traditional Hawaiian wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, and blessings for keiki (infants and children), individuals and families. This is in addition to her role as a non-denominational alaka’i or guide where she provides counseling that at times includes ho’oponopono.
Kahu Pōmaika'i has been licensed in the state of Hawai'i as a massage therapist for over 25 years and played an integral role as a massage therapist at both the Turtle Bay Resort and Spa and the Kahala Hotel Resort and Spa. Following her intuition and inner guidance she left her work there to expand her work as a Kahu.

“If you are looking for an exquisite wedding ceremony that will leave everyone without a dry eye then look no further than Kahu Pōmaikaʻi. My husband who is Hawaiian and I were married in Honolulu at the Hale Koa on 2/12/2011. We live in Las Vegas and were finding it hard to find someone who could capture just the feeling we wanted to have conveyed with our ceremony. I didn’t want some cookie cutter five minute wedding ceremony. We wanted something meaningful and traditionally Hawaiian…” – Brandye G.
