Big Island Birth and Body — Local services in Hawaii

I have several jobs that require me to be on my feet A LOT. I reached out to ‘Io of Infuzen Wellness because I saw that they were offering a specials on their Instagram story. They responded to me very quickly through DM and I ended up choosing a 90 minute massage and reiki session. I had never done reiki before was definitely interested and open! I knew I’d need a long massage after a 4 day work week of being on my feet all day.

When the day came for my evening massage, ‘Io reached out to me in the morning g to confirm our appointment. When I arrived to their massage studio at Sugah Mama Beauty near Costco I found parking to be a breeze. Upon entering the studio, I was greeted by ‘Io and the smell of delicious essential oils. Sugah Mama Beauty was clean, well lit, and had a calming atmosphere. I was definitely ready for my massage!

The massage room was gorgeous, clean and smelled so good. There are these beautiful woven art pieces on the wall and everything was laid out perfectly. The space is so beautifully curated!

‘Io asked me what kind of pressure I preferred and if any areas were bothering me. I asked for medium / deep pressure and pointed out a couple of areas.

The massage began with light relaxing music. I must say, I really enjoyed the music playlist the entire time. Waaaay better than the elevator music most massage studios use. The pressure started medium and went deep, just as I asked for. I especially enjoyed the light stretching on my arms and legs. The oils smelled so good the entire time.

The reiki portion was also really beautiful. A gentle light touch around the crown of my head. It was lovely. A 90-min massage was exactly what I needed after several days of being on my feet for work. I feel like a new person today—in fact I’ll be going to the gym!

Thank you ‘Io of Infuzen Wellness, I’ll...

If you’re looking for a nurturing, holistic experience to support your body, mind, and spirit, look no further than Big Island Birth and Body. Over the years, Paiden has provided an intuitive blend of massage and Reiki. And in this last year I experienced her pre and post natal massage and doula services.

Whether you’re seeking relief from tension, a deep rejuvenating massage, or compassionate support through pregnancy and postpartum, Paiden’s expertise and calming presence provide a truly transformative experience. Her attention to detail and dedication to wellness, combined with her profound understanding of the emotional and physical journey women go through, make her an incredible resource. I highly recommend Paiden for anyone looking for healing, support, and a safe space to thrive. I can’t emphasize how much I looked forward to sinking into the bodycushion prenatal massage set up she has for pregnant mamas, she also helped organize the most beautiful blessingway for me.

As my postpartum doula, I resonated with Paiden because she is an advocate for women who desire home birth as well as hospital births, having gone through her midwifery and doula training and raised by a mother who is a postpartum/nicu nurse.

The rituals like closing of the bones and hearing me tell my birth story were essential to my early postpartum recovery and returning to my body. The postpartum basket provided thoughtful essentials that no registry can fulfill, a special gift for any mom’s who’ve recently given birth. And her connection with my partner and baby gave me the ability to surrender to recovering and receive the care that mothers need. It’s clear how passionate she is about birthing and...

I received a 90 min prenatal massage from Paiden and it was heavenly! She uses a unique set up to allow expecting mama’s to lay on their bellies while fully supported with prenatal pillows meant for massaging….game changer! I didn’t realize how much I needed/missed being able to lie face down and get a massage and it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She uses these same pillows to prop you up when you transition to the front creating zero pressure or heaviness on the belly or baby while lying face up; my body was mush! Her touch was just what I needed; I like firm to deep pressure and she accommodated me perfectly. You can feel the warmth and intention flowing from her as she really puts her whole self into giving you an incredible session. I especially loved the chanting and drumming at the end of my massage, she knows quite a bit about the body but also incorporated an indigenous birthing chant with rhythmic drumming to ground and center you even further. I highly highly recommend her for prenatal and postpartum massage too, I’ll be back once baby is born! Mahalo Paiden for a nourishing and...
