Community Voices

Community members, educators, and local leaders share what they have experienced through CH³ programs and relationships.

“Branch was really effective at making this course fun, non-intimidating--and effective! The session itself was relaxing but he also gave us tools and simple techniques that we could take with us to use at home.”
Jenny FiedlerSunset resident, author and mom
“Throughout the lesson my students were engaged, focused and excited, with even my most timid students actively participating.”
Cammeryn Lloyd-VenegasElementary School Teacher
“Branch is not serving this community from the outside. He is Koʻolauloa. He grew up here, he is rooted here, and the people he is trying to reach are his own people.”
Bishop Luke MoffatLāʻie 6th Ward
“(At our ward camp) Branch conducted his M&M Project — music and movement programming for our keiki — and the energy in that space was something special. The kids were fully engaged and joyful, full of laughter during their session.”
Bishop Kahau EnosKaʻaʻawa Ward
“Learning how to do that for myself, is the best gift ever.”
Mimo PearlKahuku resident and mom
“He uses his knowledge to guide you through a precise and effective tension release circuit that allows you to move more freely throughout the day. Could not recommend more.”
Alizabeth HouseSunset resident and mom
“I wholeheartedly support his efforts to secure a grant so he can continue to provide this much-needed service to others.”
Karina PearlLāʻie resident and mom
“I felt like some of the tension I keep, especially in my hips and low back, was able to release. I was surprised how stretched I felt after with very little movement.”
Ashley WolfePūpūkea resident and mom
“Branch explains each movement very thoroughly and makes you feel you are in a safe and relaxing environment.”
Mia BeattyPūpūkea resident and elementary school teacher
“I loved the one-on-one teaching in a small group. I could really tell the difference in my flexibility.”
Colleen RiceLāʻie resident and mom
“A few days later, I set up a workshop for over 30 of my community members to experience the same workshop I attended. My community thanked me for having CH³ come to share with them.”
Redmond TutorLāʻie resident, dad and business owner
“This is something I would love to do more often to keep my body in better shape. I know our school would benefit from you returning since even though we know it is good for us, we rarely remember to take care of ourselves.”
Stevie ApeluFifth Grade Teacher
“I had no idea that my body was suffering from tension. Your interventions helped to bring a new level of relaxation and releasing of the tension stored in my muscles. Mahalo for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us. What a great way to start the new school year!”
Semisi UluaveElementary School Behavioral Health Specialist
“He has been an excellent teacher and the students really enjoy their time with him.”
Jacqueline CamitElementary School Teacher
