About Us

Waimaka Lehua was born from a deep desire to remember who we are, return to indigenous ways of living, and create tools for healing and self-discovery. Rooted in Hawaiian Inspiration and guided by kaulana mahina (the Hawaiian moon calendar), our work is dedicated to decolonization and reconnection—with ourselves, with ʻāina, with akua, and with the cycles of nature.

Creation Story

Over ten years ago, I had a surgery that stopped my menstrual cycle. Growing up, menstruation wasn’t often talked about, and I didn’t understand its connection to emotional and physical balance until I no longer had it. I began tracking my moods, body changes and energy with the moon, and after returning home to Hawaiʻi, I learned even more about Kaulana Mahina and how Hawaiians use to live guided by mahina. That inspired me to create a planner where I could track anything—energy, emotions, dreams, creativity—while reconnecting with Hawaiian culture and aligning with some of the ways our ancestors lived.

Writing by hand became a practice of presence, reflection, and kilo. I chose to make this a physical planner to avoid the distractions that come with using an app and to bring myself fully into the present moment each time I engage with it. Over time, I found great value in living with Kaulana Mahina as our ancestors once did—moving with the rhythm of mahina rather than against it, allowing life, creativity, and healing to flow in their natural cycles.

Intention

My intention is to share the tools, knowledge, and experiences that have guided me back into alignment—with my values beyond the frameworks of colonization, with Hawaiian culture, and with the deeper remembering of who we truly are. This work is about returning to a way of living that honors relationship over ownership, rhythm over rush, and reciprocity over extraction.

Everything I create is an offering—to help others find their own path back to connection and remembrance, where ʻāina, body, and spirit move together once more in balance and aloha.

Rooted in Aloha

Our foundation is built on aloha ʻāina (love of the land), kuleana (responsibility), lokahi (balance and unity), and pono (integrity and alignment). Every product is created with intention, respect for culture, and a spirit of reciprocity. We value accessibility, authenticity, and collaboration—working to uplift Hawaiian knowledge while including all who seek reconnection to the land and themselves.

Aloha 'āina - Love of the Land

Aloha ʻāina reminds us that healing the self and healing the earth are one and the same. Through observation, care, and reciprocity, we honor the balance between what we take and what we give back.

Kuleana - Responsibility

We each carry kuleana—a personal and collective responsibility to live with awareness and integrity. For us, that means creating with purpose, honoring our ancestors, and contributing to a future where culture and sustainability thrive together. Kuleana guides how we source, design, and share, ensuring that every action carries intention.

Individual Healing, Collective Healing

Healing begins within, yet it never ends there. When we honor our own rhythm and tend to our inner landscape, that balance ripples outward—to our ʻohana, our community, and the land itself. Our journals, planners, and practices are designed to support both self-reflection and shared accountability. Each page becomes a small act of healing that contributes to something greater—pathways of personal discovery that lead to collective resilience.

Lōkahi — Balance and Unity


Lōkahi calls us to harmony—between body and spirit, past and present, people and place. It reminds us that alignment is not perfection but rhythm. Through our tools and practices, we seek to restore that sense of unity within ourselves and our communities, so that all may move together in balance.

Pono — Integrity and Alignment

Pono is the continual practice of walking in alignment—with truth, compassion, and responsibility. It is not a fixed state but a living rhythm, reminding us to adjust, realign, and return when we drift. To live pono is to listen deeply—to the land, to our ancestors, and to the quiet voice within—and to act from that place of integrity. Through our work, we strive to embody pono as a daily practice of remembering what is right, balanced, and sacred.
