LIHUE — April “Aunty Daisy” Nash was crippled for six years and understands what people, especially stroke victims, go through on their road to recovery.
Aunty Daisy invites people to a wellness workshop from 9 a.m. “until pau” Monday at the Kauai Veterans Center.
“She is here from Australia,” said April Christian, who will be helping at the workshop. “This is her final week on Kauai where she has family before she returns to Australia. She wants to share her manao and love with the people of Kauai.”
Aunty Daisy, who specializes in working with stroke victims, has been doing Polynesian massages for 53 years.
“I was once crippled for six years,” Aunty Daisy said. “During that time, I was on Kauai, and the people were so kind and full of aloha. Now, I want to share with the island people before I go back to Australia.”
Aunty Daisy will be joined by Gabriel Monaghan, a former student of Laau Lapaau, or Hawaiian herbal medicine, with Levon Ohai.
“He has Five Formula which was developed to combat dengue fever,” Aunty Daisy said. “He will show people how to make it and use it to fight dengue. We have dengue in Australia and the Five Formula has worked with people over there.”
People attending the wellness workshop are asked to bring two towels, two sheets and their own oil, or lotion. Admission is by donation.
