Integrative Reiki

a new concept in energetic healing

A long time activist & advocate for sexual minorities, Nalani Kekoa Santiago cultivated her teaching methodologies through volunteering for many different human rights and AIDS organizations by working her way through the ranks from volunteer support all the way up to educator/presenter.

She is passionate about education; teaching people is something that comes naturally to her.  Her students continually comment that Santiago's approach to teaching "is relaxed, clear, informative and relevant."

Most recently, her energy has been focused around sex-positivity (being fully-actualized and integrated) and the Healing Arts.  She is a Board Member Emeritus of the Seattle Sex-Positive Community Center and was the Co-Founder & Chair of the Pacific Northwest Sex Educator’s Forum.

Santiago holds a degree in Massage Therapy from Brenneke School of Massage in Seattle, WA, where she specialized in both integrative, holistic healing techniques as well as sports massage therapy.  She is a Reiki Master, trained in the Usui Method and Lomilomi Practitioner (Hawaiian Body Work) and is currently studying the Hawaiian traditions of Ho'oponopono and La'au Lapa'au (to make things right) conflict resolution & Hawaiian Medicine).  Santiago has additional training in De-escalation Techniques, Non-Violent Communication, Bloodborne Pathogens, STDs, Compassionate Touch, Reflexology, Pregnancy Massage, Chinese Medicine, Hydro Therapy, Lymphatic Drain Massage, Anatomy & Physiology and is CPR & First Aid certified.

Santiago brings all her experience as an educator, writer and presenter in developing & teaching courses that improve, enhance and enrich her student’s lives in the areas of healing, alternative sexualities, relationship negotiation and communication skills, etiquette, STD awareness: Safer-Sex and Bloodborne Pathogen training and life-coaching.  She has been teaching in the erotic arts for close to 10 years and a practitioner for a lifetime. 

Originally from Oahu, Hawaii, Santiago moved with her family to Washington State, where she lived for 22 years.  She has recently relocated to Los Angeles, CA with her four-legged child; a pug dog named Louis Iki Puaa, and is excited to share her unique, experiential style of teaching.
