Aloha, I'm Kristina.

The Reset: Maui began with a simple belief. That when a woman is given space, real food, and genuine care, she remembers who she is. I host these retreats in my own home in Paia, and I pour the same warmth into your stay that I would for a dear friend coming to visit.

I grew up in San Diego, but Maui had my heart long before I lived here. We came almost every year when I was a girl, and my parents practically had to drag me out of the ocean after sunset. I never wanted to leave the feeling of warm water and sand beneath my feet. My love for Hawaiian culture is deep and personal, too. My late aunt Sharon married my uncle Pat, a Hawaiian man who defines aloha, whose family called Paia home. Paia is where I live today, and I have always felt a quiet calling to share the beauty and magic of these sacred islands.

In 2020 I came to Maui for a ten day healing retreat that changed the course of my life. It moved me to make the shifts I had been circling for years, including leaving everyone and everything familiar to build a life here and, at last, to cultivate the love for myself I had been searching for my whole life. Five years later, I live with a peace of mind I once only hoped for, in a body I genuinely love for all the ways it lets me move through this island. I spend as much time in nature as humanly possible, from sunrise surf sessions to hiking, backpacking, free diving, paddleboarding, and long sunset walks on the beach. And I volunteer with local organizations working to preserve Hawaiian culture and care for the land that has given me so much.

The Reset is my way of offering other women what Maui, and that first retreat, gave to me.

What I know for certain is this: you do not need to earn rest, and you do not need a packed itinerary to come home to yourself. You need space, intention, and a soft place to land. That is what I have built here.

Your home while you’re here

You will stay in a private room and bath in my home, five minutes from Baldwin Beach and a short walk from downtown Paia, right at the start of the road to Hana. Mornings might begin with movement and meditation in the zen den, a mac nut latte in hand, and no reason to rush. And you will be greeted, every single time you come home, by Keoni, who has never met a guest he did not immediately love.

How this is different

The Reset is not a group program or a fixed schedule. It is a private retreat, designed around you. You choose your path, whether that is adventure, nourishment, or deep rest, and we shape your days around what you actually need. Meals are plant based and made with local, seasonal ingredients. Healing sessions are led by trusted local practitioners. Nothing here is one size fits all.
