From Our ‘Ohana To Yours

Aloha friends, my name is Shy, and in 2019 I jumped headfirst into an oppurtunity that changed my life completely. 

At the time, I worked for Lēʻahi Health O’ahu, four months into my time there I overheard my former boss, Jason Coleman, talking about expanding to Kaua’i. This was pivitol for me because for years my partner, Travis, had been begging to go to Kaua’i seeking a steadier way of life as the O’ahu we knew to be our home was becoming a chaotic place we didn’t recognize. I always told him I wouldn’t uproot our lives without guaranteed work or housing, and here was Jason talking about exactly what I was saying. I knew that if I didnʻt at least inquire with Jason about this new venture I would spend quite some time in the dog house. I took the moment as a sign and asked, “You going to Kaua’i?” To which he replied, “Yeah, you wanna go?” The decision was easy, and within two month’s I was sent to Kaua’i to open & operate a location for him. 

The task was to treat it as if it were my own, and grow the Lēʻahi name; so that's what I did. I quickly realized that my passion for Lēʻahi lies in making people feel good and seeing the smile that comes from a tasty, fresh meal. I've watched people go from gloomy to glowing after a meal with us. I’ve been a part of people’s journey to a healthier lifestyle, as well as watched people celebrate their accomplishments with a treat from us. The fuzzy feeling I get from being part of someone’s wellbeing is so magical. In 2022, shortly after having my daughter, I was presented with the opportunity to graduate from emotional owner to the legal owner of Lēʻahi Health Kōloa. With Travis by my side, I took a chance on my passion and bought the business I had fallen in love with. During my time evolving the foundation we started with, a movement blossomed. Our mission became Happy Tummies; Happy Faces. That is what it is all about for us; making you happy from the inside to the outside! 

Every order is crafted with care in hopes that we can serve you a meal that leaves you feeling fulfilled and saying "wow." We make as much in-house as possible to ensure quality and keep the prices affordable so everyone can have access to a nutritious flavorful meal. Youʻll have no issues with finding GF options as the majority of our menu is GF, and alternatives are provided for items containing gluten. Allergies are no issue either as we avoid the most common allergens, and stay mindful of cross-contamination. We believe in healthy food for all regardless of your day to day diet; at Lēʻahi Health Kōloa there is something for everyone.

We are still part of the Lēʻahi family despite being under different ownership. If you would like to know more about our Lēʻahi Health Oʻahu ʻohana check them out https://www.leahihealth.com/

We can’t wait to serve you,
Shy
