Soul Valid Hawai'i was created out of a need to reconnect with culture, with self, and with purpose. It started during a season of healing, when creativity became my therapy, and laughter was sometimes the only thing holding it all together. Over time, that spark turned into a homegrown business offering thoughtful, intentional products that speak to the spirit, while adding a little humor to keep things light.

As a Native Hawaiian mother with a Master’s degree in Social Work, I bring both personal and professional experience into everything I create. From mental wellness and identity to food, language, and healing, Soul Valid Hawai'i reflects the layers of real life—raw, beautiful, challenging, and sometimes hilarious. Whether it’s a sticker that reminds you you're doing your best, every item is designed to affirm, uplift, and connect.

We work out of our home-based kitchen and office, blending culture, wellness, and a good dose of realness. Soul Valid Hawai'i is here to remind folks that they matter, their feelings are valid, and that their stories carry value, and that it’s okay to laugh a little while we grow through what we go through.

Everything we create at Soul Valid Hawaiʻi is made with intention, aloha, and a deep sense of purpose. Our food items, like our granola and spice rubs, are prepared in our home kitchen with care—my husband John and I are both certified food handlers and follow all proper guidelines to ensure safety and quality in every batch.

Our stickers, keychains, and other items are designed, made, and packaged in our home-based office. We value cultural grounding, empathy, and wellness in everything we do—each product is meant to nourish either the body or the spirit.

Our guiding philosophy is simple: honor our stories, connect through intention, and create with aloha and empathy.
