Our Experience
Jeana Iwalani Naluai
For twenty-five years, Jeana Naluai has carried a sacred responsibility entrusted by Hawaiian elders who believed Aloha could transform the world. As a cultural practitioner, physical therapist, and Kumu Lomi Lomi, she learned la‘au lapa‘au (working with traditional plant wisdom) from kūpuna (elders) while raising her children and teaching globally.
Her path shifted when she began truly listening to the plants, noni revealed deeper properties, and kukui shared its inner light.
From this deep inner listening came Mahilani’s HI Vibe Essentials—formulas created with the plants, and asking them to unlock their mana to benefit —transforming self-care into sacred ceremony and pioneering HI Vibrational Wellness.
Bruce Barlean
Some collaborations are built through strategy. Others arrive through dreams. For Bruce Barlean, the call to create Mahilani came in a vivid prophetic dream—so clear that he immediately called Jeana Naluai, even if it sounded unbelievable.
Honoring guidance beyond logic has shaped Bruce’s thirty-five-year journey in natural wellness. Since 1989, he has pioneered internal health solutions through Barlean’s (found in every major health store in the US), building America’s #1 flaxseed oil brand and mastering what the body needs at the cellular level.
