Kahuna Valley Board of Directors

Francesco Garri Garripoli enjoys being an author, television producer, Qigong instructor, Certified Watsu Practitioner and wellness advocate. Francesco left a full medical school scholarship at the University of Colorado to come to Hawaii in 1977 and study energy healing with an 81 year-old Master. This was the beginning of his understanding the benefits of merging Eastern and Western philosophies. His documentary "Qigong: Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century", airs on PBS and has been seen by some 88 million viewers and he created an award-winning instructional Qigong DVD series. Francesco teaches workshops, appears on radio and television and lectures around the world, and leads groups of travelers to study Qigong from its source in China each year. Chairman of Kahuna Valley, his hope is to bring practical energy healing exercise to children and adults... a prayer for a guy who's been known to sell his favorite Harley to follow his heart and dreams…

Daisy Lee, President of Kahuna Valley, is a writer, filmmaker, Qigong teacher, certified massage therapist, and nutritional health consultant. Together with Francesco, she helped found the Kahuna Valley Retreat, a place where students can go to learn the energy healing arts in a truly healing environment. Daisy also studied the martial arts for several years, including styles such as Choy Lee Fat, Northern Legs, Southern Fists, Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Mantis, Yang Style Tai Chi and Shotokan Karate. Her emphasis on healing, though, is her primary focus and she devotes much of her time offering private health consultations assisting people with dietary analysis and nutritional supplementation.. Daisy teaches Qigong and offers health consultations and energy healing throughout the United States and Canada.
