Precy Gerard
Massage Therapist, CNA, Medical Aesthetician, Ombre Brow Tattoo Artist
Precy, the owner of Moanikai Spa, has an impressive background in the world of spa and wellness. From the beautiful island of Maui, where she grew up, Precy's journey in the industry began with a passion for Hawaiian healing techniques.
After graduating from the Hawaiian Massage School, specializing in Lomi-Lomi, Deep Tissue, and Neuromuscular Massage Therapy, Precy honed her skills while working at renowned establishments such as the Five-Star Royal Hawaiian Resort & Spa and Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. There, she focused on providing exceptional facials and body treatments, becoming an expert in her craft.
Continuing her education and pursuit of holistic wellness, Precy attended Spa Luna, where she graduated as a Holistic Esthetician & Nail Technician. Holding three licenses in the State of Hawai'i, she expanded her repertoire to offer comprehensive spa services, including facials, glycolic peels, medical aesthetics, waxing, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, and body treatments.
During her time at the Fairmont/Kealani Resort & Spa, known as "Maui's Best Spa," Precy's dedication and talent earned her recognition as the Best Therapist & Esthetician. Her exceptional skills caught the attention of celebrities visiting Hawai'i, leading her to work with notable personalities such as Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck, Grammy-winning performer Britney Spears, and Golden Globe-winning actress Angela Bassett.
In 2010, Precy relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, where she established her own practice. Over the years, she expanded her services to Charleston, South Carolina, operating offices in both cities. Embracing a nomadic approach, she became a traveling therapist, offering her exceptional treatments wherever her clients needed them. This flexibility allowed her to continue her education and stay at the forefront of the industry.
In 2020, Precy accomplished a remarkable feat by becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant & Licensed Medical Aesthetician. However, the challenging circumstances brought by the COVID-19 pandemic led her to make the difficult decision to close her Greenville office in early 2021. Taking time to rejuvenate and reconnect with her roots, she embarked on a spiritually-healing visit to her home in Hawai'i.
Currently, Precy has reestablished her office in Charleston, South Carolina, bringing with her nearly 25 years of international experience and she opened up a new office location with her daughter, Moani in Scottsdale, AZ. With her wealth of knowledge and deep understanding of wellness and Lomi-Lomi, she takes pride in elevating the art of healing and well-being for the mind, body, and soul.
Join Precy on a transformative journey and experience the profound healing power they brings to every treatment. Allow them to guide you towards holistic wellness and discover the ultimate level of rejuvenation and serenity.
