About Mauna

Mauna (mă'u-na), n. – Mountain

At Mauna Psychology, we draw inspiration from the sacred significance of mountains, or mauna, in ancient Hawaiian culture. Mountains are revered as powerful symbols of resilience, strength, and spiritual connection, serving as a bridge between the earthly and divine. For Hawaiians, mountains embody mana, a profound spiritual energy, and stand as enduring landmarks of wisdom and stability. Just as the mauna provides grounding and guidance, we aim to support you in finding strength, healing, and balance through life’s challenges, honoring the natural capacity for growth and resilience that resides within us all.

In Hawaiian tradition, mountains like Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are considered the homes of gods and ancestors, sacred places where rituals and offerings connect people to the spiritual world. This belief in the mountain’s transformative power reflects our approach to therapy: to create a space where you feel supported in your journey toward self-discovery and renewal. At Mauna Psychology, we strive to honor the depth of your experiences, fostering a process of healing that respects your inner strength and capacity to thrive, just as the mauna endures and inspires.
