Anela Barboza Seliskar (she/her/ʻoia/they), is a mixed Kanaka Maoli/Asian Coach, Somatics Practitioner, Bodyworker, Mentor, Teacher, and Facilitator.  She comes from a land-based worldview that holds connection and kuleana to ʻāina and spirit as integral to living a life aligned with purpose.

She is committed to BIPOC, indigenous, mixed, and intersectional folx who are navigating identity, sites of oppression and shaping, longings, and relationship to home/ʻāina as a means of personal and collective healing, co-creating power, and liberation. 

Born into the Hawaiian diaspora, Anela was raised away from home. In 2022, she made her way back and resides full-time on Moku o Keawe in Keaʻau near her ʻohana with her three dogs. She is a novice paddler, waterman, builder, craftsman, community/family member, connector, mischief maker, and moʻo.
