Our Staff
Owner of PONOPOKA / Seawater Heat Therapist
Youngest certified seawater heat therapist with over 3,000 treatments.
Opened PONOPOKA in 2024 to help women relax, warm up, and feel better inside and out.
Seawater Heat Therapist
Seawater heat therapy helped change my body naturally.
I gently support clients in noticing small signs of imbalance.
Let’s feel that moment when “hot” becomes “comfortable.”
The warmth that saved our tired hearts.
We, too, were once women weighed down by worries, work, and exhaustion.
Then came seawater heat therapy — gentle warmth that softened body and soul.
Tears we didn’t know we held began to fall.
This is the feeling we wish to share with women like you.
With gentle hands and caring hearts, we welcome you.
Please feel safe to rest here.
“I feel relaxed and sleep better now.”
– 30s, trying to conceive
“My back feels lighter and easier to move.”
— 40s, back pain
“Warming my body lifted my mood.”
— Seeking emotional care

However, since we apply warmth around the eye area, your makeup may smudge.
If you’re concerned, we recommend bringing makeup for touch-ups.
