Behind the Name:

Pōʻalima - is the Hawaiian word for Friday, or the fifth day. 

"In May of 2017, during a trip to Oahu, I was approached by a street vendor, who was selling jewelry. The woman asked, if I would like to learn what my name means in native Hawaiian. Of course, I had to give a brief description of what my name means in Bulgarian first, and apart from the Orthodox Saint Petka, Petya also loosely translates as 'of Friday' and I was also born on a Friday. The woman taught me how to say Pōʻalima - it sounded so incredibly euphonious, I felt it in my bones." ~P

"Power to originate and assert a legacy with integrity, mindfulness, and authenticity!"

Poalima's purpose, and Petya's reward from this work, is seeing people embody their true values, elbow themselves some space into this world, and stand unapologetically in their own two shoes, content.
