Dr. Malia’s passion for aiding Native Hawaiians with chronic metabolic health conditions led her and her daughter, Kapi’olei, to create the Well Being Online Course and Hā’ehuola Health Program. This was born from the serendipitous connections she made while helping people at her award-winning vegan restaurant, ‘Ai Love Nalo, and plant-based meal plan program. Combining her business insight and skills in curriculum design, lesson planning, and assessment development, she developed this culturally relevant educational program to help preserve ancient traditions while improving the health and wellness of her clients and community.
