Lauren Melendez
Introduction
Aloha, welina mai. You’ve been the steady one for others—your ʻohana, your students, your community. But now, you’re the one holding heaviness: overwhelm, grief, relationship tension, or deep inner disconnection. You want to feel like yourself again. To feel at ease in your body. To live with clarity, steadiness, and healing that lasts. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and grounded in a culturally respectful, somatic approach. I blend body-based therapy, attachment work, and nervous system practices to support your healing from the inside out—especially if you’re navigating trauma, transitions, or emotional exhaustion. Our work is a collaboration. A supportive, nonjudgmental space where we gently listen to the wisdom of your body, explore your patterns, and rebuild connection to self and story. Whether you’re seeking care for yourself, your keiki, or your ʻohana, you deserve support that honors all of you—your past, your pace, and your culture.
