Wellness Program

Lokahi Garden Sanctuary Wellness Program is the ultimate Hawaiian health vacation designed for those searching for new strategies on their journey of wellness, rejuvenation and vitality. With joyfulness and fun, reconnect with your authentic self through the magic and power of the Big Island of Hawaii and in the safe embrace of Lokahi Garden Sanctuary.

Dr. Richard Liebmann and Natalie K. Young, husband and wife, invite you to live with them in their beautiful custom home on sacred land overlooking the blue Pacific ocean with views of the island of Maui. This home and ten acre botanical gardens on the Big Island of Hawaii was built and nurtured by Richard and Natalie. Richard and Natalie are dedicated to stewarding the Earth and empowering people to live in harmony with themselves, the earth and other people. Lokahi Garden Sanctuary is the perfect setting to receive guidance and support to open your unlimited potential, to discover, to learn, to nourish and to challenge yourself to be the best you can be. You will be welcomed in the spirit of Aloha (meaning you will be accepted, valued and appreciated).

Lokahi Garden Sanctuary has been guided by sacred intention. The organic vegetable and medicinal herb gardens, flowers, tropical hardwood forest and medicine trees forest, fruit orchard, animal pasture, walking trails, and seven circuit labyrinth are some of the features lovingly brought forth by Richard and Natalie to honor this Hawaiian piece of paradise. The land is situated on the northern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii, a place Native Hawaiians have always believed to be “ka piko”, the navel or belly button of the universe, a place where five mountains create a powerful vortex for the healing and rejuvenation of the body and soul.

The Wellness Program is suited for people who are have a desire to live a healthy, joyful life-style. The amazing natural beauty of this land and the surrounding ocean, the cultural richness, the botanical abundance and the spiritual nature of the island is the perfect environment for your journey to enhanced wellness. This island environment, your own inner wisdom, Richard’s and Natalie’s expertise and open-heartedness, combined with a staff who are dedicated and practiced in living vibrantly, will be your teachers.

You and your total wellness, rejuvenation and empowerment are the sole focus of your hosts Richard and Natalie during your stay at Lokahi Garden Sanctuary. We work with one client (as an individual, with a partner, or with your family) at a time. Dr. Liebmann, Ms. Young and the affiliated staff work together with you to evaluate your current health status and wellness goals. We then design a personalized wellness program uniquely suited to your needs. Richard and Natalie coordinate the varied aspects of your health enhancement experience.

Direct experience with the living and healing earth is an essential component of our health philosophy. Lokahi Garden Sanctuary is purposefully set up to allow you to discover your own ways of connecting with the earth. Whether it be helping tend the vegetable and medicinal herb gardens, interacting with our animals, walking in our tropical forests, bicycling, swimming in the blue pacific ocean, surfing, kayaking, sailing, extensive hiking or just sitting quietly on the earth and gazing out into the sky, Lokahi Garden Sanctuary offers earth centered health enhancing opportunities.
