Value can be found in empowering clients to exercise their *ea* (self-sovereignty) by choosing the therapist who feels right for them-and that means doing their research and feeling into their naʻau (intuition). Providers also have a professional and ethical responsibility to be honest about their background and the scope of their practice.
Hmm, I wonder how often this happens and whether these therapists are Kānaka in diaspora or non-Kānaka from the continent. If they’re non-Kānaka, it’s important to consider their intentions for seeking Kānaka clients.
