Aloha, I'm Mahana Alira!

Quantum Mind-Body Therapist®. HMI NutritionCoach. Chef. Doula and best of all - Mum to amazing twin girls.

In 2021, I began one of the most transformative journeys of my life: becoming a mother. From a young age, I always felt that motherhood was sacred—even though I was never explicitly taught that. So when I discovered I was pregnant, I knew it was time to make profound changes in my life in order to fully honour and embrace the path I had been blessed with by God.

My pregnancy took an unexpected and challenging turn early on when I was classified as high risk. I was carrying Monochorionic Diamniotic (MCDA) twins, meaning they shared a placenta. This later developed into twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). I attended weekly appointments to closely monitor their growth, until one routine check-up quickly became a medical emergency. Overnight, my condition worsened and I required urgent laser ablation surgery.

What followed was one of the most frightening, painful, and emotionally taxing experiences of my life. The anaesthetic administered did not work, and I was in pain throughout the procedure. Complications arose, and the medical professional in training who was performing the surgery lacked compassion and empathy, refusing to acknowledge the distress I was in. In that moment, I realised how vital it was to advocate firmly for my care. I refused her treatment, and Professor Kypros Nicolaides took over the procedure.

Unfortunately, the challenges did not end there. One week later, at just 23 weeks pregnant, my waters broke without any signs of labour, and I was admitted to hospital. After a week, I was discharged but remained under close observation with weekly appointments at the fertility and pregnancy unit. Then, at 27 weeks, I woke at 1 a.m. experiencing contractions. By 5 a.m. I was at the hospital, and by 6 p.m. I was being prepared for an emergency caesarean section, as each contraction was placing one of my twins in distress.
 

After a deeply traumatic and exhausting pregnancy, I welcomed two beautiful baby girls into the world. Due to their prematurity, they were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where they remained for just under four and a half months. One of my daughters was discharged on home oxygen, and I devoted myself to supporting her journey toward breathing independently, while also nurturing both of my twins’ overall health until they no longer required medication.

Alongside medical support, I used quantum practices such as spherical reality, visualisation, and affirmations to support my daughter’s oxygen weaning. Within four months, she no longer required oxygen support.

Having premature twins taught me profound lessons—about empowerment, protection, advocacy, sovereignty, and deep gratitude. Lessons I carry with me every single day.

Throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period, I had to consistently advocate for my bodily autonomy and for the protection of my twins. I experienced bullying, threats, fear-based pressure, exclusion, and blacklisting by various medical professionals—including midwives, neonatal nurses, and doctors—for exercising my right to make informed choices for myself and my children. I stood firm in my decisions and refused to operate under false authority. During one of the most vulnerable periods of my life, I chose sovereignty over fear and self-trust over external pressure.
 

After separating from an abusive relationship, I made the conscious decision to elevate the quality of my life by embarking on a deep spiritual healing journey. This began through energy healing programmes guided by my spiritual and life mentor - Liana Shanti and later expanded into formal training at HMI Wellness.
 

Along my journey, I’ve been able to heal long-standing challenges, including over a decade of depression and anxiety, severe period pain, PMS, body dysmorphia, hyperhidrosis, ovarian cysts, and so much more more.
 

My healing journey has empowered me to live as a testament to what is possible when you release generations of trauma, dissolve self-sabotaging patterns, and reclaim self-love and self-worth. When you choose to love and support your body rather than fight it, you allow it to heal and thrive exactly as it was designed to do.

Your body is always working in your favour. Its primary purpose is to keep you alive—by any means necessary. When you experience stress or overwhelm, your nervous system activates protection mode. Science shows that the body holds onto these survival responses—not as a failure, but as a way of keeping you safe. Nothing your body does is random; it’s divine intelligence working in real time.
 

Through my own transformation, I am deeply passionate about supporting mothers to heal from trauma, reclaim their sovereignty, and evolve into empowered women who can fully embrace the sacredness and joy of motherhood.

If you feel the nudge in your gut and you’re ready to step into your calm, empowered, and sovereign self, I invite you to book a free clarity call with me.
