"Nechama’s work is real. What she does is very real. Her work is genuine and happening. She is grounded and groundedness is truth. She is ‘oia’i’o / truth and people are getting that from her." 

 -  Kupuna Auntie Puanani Mahoe, Maui, HI

"Shayna Nechama is awesome. I have known her for many years and can assure anyone that she is exactly as she presents herself and her services."

- Rabbi Shlomo Nachman ben Ya'akov, Georgia

Jewish Healing

"I had just been out on a 5-mile run when something went horribly wrong. When I started stretching my lower back completely froze. The pain was excruciating, so much so I could not move from the floor. I was unable to even sit up. I spent the first day laying on my stomach then I contacted Ms. Naveh for a visit. She told me she would be bringing a massage table. I was really looking forward to the treatment. She arrived, set up the table and had me crawl on as best I could. She began asking me questions and I could feel her presence but no massage. She began vibrating a tuning fork and this is where I really got confused.  I am an objective, science-driven IT manager that was frankly unimpressed by the kinds of techniques used on me that day. In my mind I was supposed to be getting a massage and immediately became disappointed and pessimistic. Ms Naveh changed all that. Never in my life would I have expected the results I got within minutes of her arrival.  This was almost 2 years ago, if it ever recurs I will be calling her and no one else. Her techniques eliminate the need for opioids and the pain."

"I want to say Mahalo for all the love and energy Shayna Nechama and Rebecca put into my two combination therapeutic energetic/spiritual therapy & massage sessions. They were the best sessions I have ever experienced. I have traveled many places worldwide and experienced many types of energy work. After two of the combination sessions, seven days apart, my body had a healing release. After suffering from right knee and leg pain for months, and intense pain on Saturday, the pain left after the release. This miraculous healing is a testament of your marvelous work. I felt very nourished after our sessions and replenished. The loving energy given to me made me feel renewed. I heartily recommend the combination of energetic/spiritual therapy and therapeutic massage. It worked wonders for me in only two sessions. My time and money was well spent."

Jewish Education & Spirituality

“Shayna Nechama has been invaluable in our synagogue and our Jewish community. Just in the last few months she has written our Kashrut policy, led our Tu B’Shevat seder, led services, consulted on halacha issues, and has been a friend in whatever we needed. She is a sought after teacher and her classes are popular with our community. She also is innovative in bringing new programming to our synagogue with outreach to the greater community beyond our synagogue. Nechama is consistently present for our event, holidays, services, and is always willing and wanting to give a helping hand for a better community. Her fierce desire to be of service is always appreciated and she plans her programming from start to finish with great communication on the support she wants.

On a personal level, I appreciate she takes my phone calls, emails, and texts any time I have a question about protocol, Jewish law, or just need an empathetic ear.”

- Ellyn Mortimer, Executive Director at the Jewish Congregation of Maui

“In studying Hebrew with Shayna Nechama, I found her instruction to be excellent, her knowledge of Hebrew thorough and her teaching style to be effective. My understanding of Biblical Hebrew was enhanced from my study with her and after a year I had enough fluency to read and understand portions from the Torah with ease.”

- Aaron Goldstein, Maui

“I studied Hebrew with Rabba Nechama and progressed very well. She is an excellent and patient instructor!

I will continue to recommend her to folks who ask about learning Hebrew. The classes are taught via zoom and are very convenient, and she keeps the classes small so as to give everyone ample attention”
