Instructor

Aloha! My name is Rochelle Featheran. I am a kama`aina born and raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii.  I am a graduate of Castle High School and the American Institute of Massage Therapy.  I have been a licensed massage therapist for 20 years and I am an active member of the Massage Therapist Association of Hawaii (MATAH).

My mission is to help people achieve a higher level of health and a sense of well being and joy. I believe that if I free people of pain, they can achieve their potential and lead more productive lives. I believe in giving back to the community and am involved with many community events.

I am dedicated to helping clients achieve a higher degree of health by becoming aware of where they are holding stress, and once aware of it, letting it go. My commitment to continued study allows me to bring a multitude of experiences and abilities for relief to the table.

Our curriculum is approved by the Hawaii Department of Education. All of the Instructors have State massage licenses and certification. Upon completion of the 570 hour program the student will be qualified to take the Hawaii State Board Examination.

Windward Therapeutic is designed to prepare students for work as entry level Massage Therapists in any therapeutic capacity. Working together with medical doctors, chiropractors, and other alternative medicine practitioners, we are one of the only massage schools on the island that is located within a health clinic. Graduates will enter the job market as highly attractive candidates for hire or possess the business and professional skills necessary to work for themselves.
