ALOHA!
I am Skyla,
ALOHA!
I’m Skyla and I believe in holding space for families and individuals to heal, grow, and thrive. For over 20 years I’ve walked alongside children and families through play, adventure, birth support, and deep healing — offering presence, love, and grounded support. I love helping each person discover their unique, nourishing path, and guiding them toward more joy, balance, and connection in their lives.
My journey has led me from childhood care and adventure-nannying, through vibrant global travels and cultural immersion — to living on Maui, deeply connected to earth, spirit, and community.
Along the way I discovered that many of the patterns we struggle with don’t only begin with us — they begin before us.
This is why I choose to study Inner Family Systems and Family Constellations. Through this work, I support women, men, and parents in gently tuning into the deeper, often hidden dynamics that shape our lives — the threads woven through generations. Family Constellations offers a way to make visible what often remains invisible: ancestral wounds, unspoken loyalties, and inherited patterns. By acknowledging and witnessing these rhythms with compassion, we open doors to healing that ripple through our relationships, our families, and our communities.
My intention is to help you reconnect: to your heart, to your ancestors, to nature, to your life. Whether through doula care, adventure-nannying, 1:1 immersions, ancestral healing, or family constellation work — I am here to honor the wholeness of your story.
If you feel called to lovingly shift the path for yourself and your family — one rooted in presence, compassion, and generational healing — I would be honored to walk beside you.
Meet Winter!
Winter is the purest essence of wild-innocent- unconditional love! Whether she is chasing coconuts on the beach, rocks in the river or playing lifeguard with the keiki she is guaranteed to bring vibrant joy wherever she goes! She has been my companion for 5 years and is completely off leash trained and knows she is a part of the pack! Every child she has met whether they like dogs or not end up loving her “human dog” magic. So no matter where the adventure may be Winter is always ready to join!

My Inspiration
I chose this path for the version of myself who once felt deeply disconnected — from life, from meaning, from my own body. There was a time when I struggled with alcohol addiction and lived with chronic pain, carrying the weight of stories and patterns that weren’t fully mine. Through deep holistic healing, ancestral work, and the willingness to meet myself with compassion, I found my way back to wholeness.
Because I’ve walked through that darkness and returned to my truth, I understand what it feels like to long for relief, for belonging, and for freedom. It is one of my greatest honors now to hold space for you — to help you remember your innate capacity for love, balance, and expansion. You deserve to feel supported on your own healing path. I am here in service to that.
Experience
My life and work have been deeply shaped by over two decades of experience supporting children, families, women, and animals. At eighteen, I left my hometown of Lansing, Michigan, and moved across the country to Portland, Oregon, where I began formal studies in Early Childhood Development at Portland Community College while working as a nanny for several families.
During this time, I realized that my greatest learning came not from textbooks, but from real connection, service, and lived experience. This understanding led me to travel throughout Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica, where I immersed myself in diverse cultures and ways of life. These years taught me to live in ongoing relationship with the earth — approaching each day with ceremony, intention, and reciprocity.
My personal practice evolved into a deep, intuitive devotion to self-care, meditation, and nature-based spirituality. Working with the elements — earth, air, fire, and water — became a central part of my healing and the way I support others. This elemental connection ultimately guided me to Maui, a place whose wildness and beauty mirror the values I bring into my work.
Across all my roles — caregiver, doula, facilitator, and holistic health advocate — I draw from this rich tapestry of experience to offer grounded, heart-centered support to the individuals and families I serve.
