The Founders
Malie was founded by a husband and wife team, Shaun and Dana Roberts both built successful careers in sales and marketing on the mainland before moving to lush Garden Island of Kauai. Both had a real passion for outdoor activities and reconnected with nature through surfing, sailing and hiking. Shaun and Dana fell in love with their island paradise and soon felt deep need to give back to the island. Inspired by natural beauty of the island they moved to create a line of unique Hawaiian products which would also employ the local craftspeople and herbalists. In Shaun's words "We were inspired by living in this five million year old island garden - the oldest in the chain. The rainforests and fertile volcanic soil - everything is here." The couple studied the local flora and incorporated the hydrosol distillation process in the development of their products. Malie Kauai was born.
Community
On the Garden Island, everyone embraces you as o?hana or family, and shares the joys of their ancient culture. At Malie Kauai, we appreciate how being a part of this extended family and the island way has changed our own lives for the better. So, we are committed to giving back to our community through employing fellow islanders and supporting local small businesses. Malie Kauai finds the best people on the islands to create our products ? Hawaiians who love what they do ? from local farmers and craftspeople to the kapunas or traditional healers who bless their work. Everyone in the Malie Kauai family has a deep reverence for our ain?a (land), its rare, indigenous plants and the native island culture.
Many of the recipes for our products have been passed down from generation to generation and are still lovingly created by local families whose small businesses we?ve helped to expand. As a result, Malie Kauai was recently honored as the recipient of a RETA-H (Regional Economic Transition Assistance) grant from the Economic Development Alliance of Hawaii. This award recognizes Malie Kauai as a ?coordinating entrepreneur? and key player in creating sustainable development to ensure Hawaii?s extraordinary natural resources will bless future generations.
The Malie Lifestyle
Our way of life on Kauai arises from aloha, '?ina (land) and mana (spirit).
Aloha embraces the spirit of brotherhood that is the lifeline of Kauai, today an island of great ethnic diversity. On our Garden Isle, we are all Kauaians - no matter what our origins are - and we're known as one of the friendliest peoples in the world. The warmth and kindness that visitors experience here comes naturally, and follows traditions from deep within our past. Aloha is a word brimming with generosity, far beyond an everyday "hello" or "goodbye". The "a" could signify akahai or kindness; the "l" lokahi for unity; the "o", olu'olu meaning pleasant; "h" stands for ha'aha'a - humility and "a" for ahonui or patience.
For those of us who live on the Garden Isle, Kauai is our '?ina, the Earth that gives us life, grounds us and nurtures us. It is our duty to protect her.
Mana is the life force or spiritual power that flows through the universe. True power and authority emanate from mana. And those who possess great mana radiate health, happiness and wholeness in body, mind and spirit. Mana provides the gifts of personal strength, leadership ability and charisma. We earn its power through wisdom, respect, thoughtful action and right living.
Life on Kauai is about who you are, not what you do. Our lifestyle evolves from how we learn from and live with aloha, '?ina and mana each day.
