What does “Maxima” mean?  In Latin, it means “miracle worker”.  If you break the name down, “Max” means greatest and “Ima” means embracing everything. She is self employed and owns a couple of businesses in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.  Maxima is working on a number of projects which she hopes to complete most of them in 2010.  One project she is working on is to help special people who have a passion to help others in traditional and holistic ways. Maxima’s project.

Lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 45 years and currently live in beautiful Hawaii (the Big Island). Became one of the first women Technical Support and still provide computer training. Now an experienced energy healer. Have had the opportunity to provide Self-Care and energy healing workshops which includes the indigenous Grandmothers (special healers) from around the world.

Maxima Forslund’s Specialties:

Energy Healing: Reiki Master, Kukui Lani (a Hawaiian Heavenly Healing), Healing Touch, Language of Light

Kukui Lani which flows through Maxima during healings is Hawaiian for Heavenly Light.  You can feel the flow of pure love energy take over your body and provide relief for spiritual, emotional and physical difficulties during a full healing session.  The energy is known to create a wonderful sense of peace and wellness.  Similar to Reiki but stronger.
