Within the structure and intent of this sacred body/healing work which I offer and share, I aim to do something both specifically unique and yet at the same time so entirely familiar, such that you are given a chance to feel yourself reminded of how and what it truly means to be, to experience yourself in the safety and support of a real human being who is in this profound journey alongside you, authentically attempting to navigate through the world with integrity, honesty, and spirit presence.
It is a work that I have developed over 15 years of practice, working with several thousand interesting, amazing, and unique people.All whom have taught me what the key things are that we all collectively struggle with, in our own specific ways. We all long for the same basic things, and are longing and ready at a very deep level to reveal ourselves and uncover the pure purpose of our reality, our existence, and our lifeforce.

A massage with Michael is not like anything I have experienced in all my years of regular massage therapy. The depth of his massage technique is amazing. And, his calming presence and touch leave you with a resotred peace of mind. Thank you Michael. Each appointment is always such a treat.
I attended the Pacific Center for Awareness & Bodywork on the island of Kauai in 2005 and have held a private practice as a Holistic Massage Therapist and Myofascial-Connective Tissue Bodyworker for 16 years.

Michael's support in my journey of healing has been crucial. He has been that steady rock to hold on to, yet with soft edges worn smooth by the winds of life. His compassion, sensitivity, and deep intuition coupled with his personal commitment to healing enable him to bring wisdom and safety to the exploration of my spiritual foundation.
Yesterday I had the amazing experience of a Biodynamic Craniosacral Session. I have been having a good bit of issue with sinus related tension headaches. This headache was entirely gone by the end of the session with Michael. I left in an altered state with shoulder pain no longer bothering me and still this morning I have no shoulder pain.
Michael's healing touch brought me to a deep sense of my true nature as a human being. His openness to listen deeply to my needs, while listening to the guidance that be, brought a deep transformative healing experience which is still present today. Michael was born to give this work to the world, naturally.

I found Awakening the Spirit recently while on a trip to Asheville. I wanted to reset and rejuvenate on this trip, and my session here certainly helped me do that. Aluemaku was professional, interested, and sensitive to my needs and it was a great session. Will return as soon as possible!

Beyond good quality -- A massage with Michael is extraordinary. Each time he seems to find the places in my body that most need work. He sometimes brings in some healing work to my neck through quiet cranial work. I love his music and his general demeanor is calm and very present. I can't recommend him enough!

Not a recommendation for this massage therapist. DO NOT send donations to the koginka sewaluna foundation on Wall Street. This is a fraudulent / fake charity that is led by a FAKE kogi person capitalizing on the indigenous peoples name. This dangerous organization does nothing for the environment. It is a CULT that engages in Racketeering and threatens the survivors not to speak out about the CULT. Please be aware of this. If someone you know is in trouble with the organization and is being solicited, by their CULT members to keep mum about their torture, please reach out to Xolar Vibronics Scam

In my session with Aluemaku, I experienced a massage that went beyond the physical level. I felt deeply supported to allow for movement in my energy where there was a certain level of stagnancy of which I was unaware. He doesn’t come with a pre-determined approach for how he wants to facilitate the session, but rather allows the session to facilitate itself based on what the client needs. He is very professional and personable in manner and has a very healing touch.
Thank you so much!

I just had an amazing treatment with Michael Brasunas, Awakening the spirit!
Being a body worker myself I know what good is and what I need. I shared with him what was going on and he focused on exactly what was needed. I am energized and feel completely relaxed at the same time. I highly recommend his work. He listens deeply to what you need and never imposes what he thinks, but he may see something that may benefit your treatment and make a suggestion. Thank you again, I will see you for another appointment!

Aluemaku is a gifted practitioner who works with the utmost integrity and kind-heartedness. I have witnessed the deep care and concern he extends to his clients and his passion to help people recover not only their physical health, but even more significantly, a state of spiritual and energetic well-being.

There is such dedication and yet such a calmness and stillness on how he approaches life - I really admire this patience and hard work he embodies. He also provides an array of holistic services that are nourishing the human spirit. I highly recommend his services.

Everything I have experienced with Aluemaku has been the real thing and impeccable. He cares deeply about his clients, humanity, and the Earth. He devotes his life in service to assist others in finding that which is valuable within, the spirit. I recommend him to anyone who is serious about balancing and harmonizing one's self and one's surroundings.

I have had the privilege of working with Aluemaku since 2013. He is truly a one of a kind practitioner whom I highly recommend. He is extremely well rounded in the wealth of knowledge and experience that he has to offer. And I must say, it is rare that I have met someone with so much patience and dedication to assist others in their own work of healing and discovery. He really makes the effort to go above and beyond, with a level of professionalism and authenticity which I have come to deeply appreciate. The world surely needs more people like him!
