That is what we do at Lakunakai!

Lakunakai is a nurturing haven created by parents, for parents, to support families getting through trauma. We encourage understanding so you can foster positive changes in the whole family - healing hearts, fostering growth.

We were born out of our own need to learn to live our best lives as we face our own family medical trauma where still today the left foot anytime. In marrying old skills with new skills to overcome traumatic responses Lakunakai was born and today, we are teaching our lessons not only to our children (where appropriate) but also with you!

*Lakunakai provides certain educational content and provides access to information, but is not a substitute or replacement for the advice of health care professionals. Lakunakai was made by parents with life experience and personal interests. For more information on Lakunakai please refer to our Terms of Service.*

A clapotis wave is formed by two colliding wave patterns, for example one from the west and the other from the east. Like a clapotis wave, when life events collide with one another, sometimes it can result in what feels like a standing wave that is much higher and contains a lot of energy - just like how trauma can overwhelm the central nervous system. After the collision of the waves, the wave collapses and a new pattern must be formed.

Just like our avatars, our founder has hand drawn our logo.

Why a wave logo?

Why we are called Lakunakai?

Lacuna means a missing portion in a book or manuscript.

Kai means 'keeper of the keys and earth' and in Japanese it has a few meanings but the ones we were drawn to are ocean, restoration and recovery.

Goal: If each of us can find the missing page in our manuscript, then we can become the master of our own sea (as in ourselves).
