Massage Therapist

Lori Ianu-Mailo

Lori Ianu-Mailo was born in Fort Stewart, Georgia, and grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, as the youngest and only daughter among four siblings. Her upbringing was deeply influenced by family values, caregiving, and cultural heritage.

In 2012, Lori moved with her family to American Samoa, where she graduated as Salutatorian from Iakina High School Academy and earned an Associate’s Degree in Visual Arts.

She then spent several years teaching traditional Samoan arts to students ranging from young children to college-aged learners. In 2019, Lori returned to Alaska with her family and welcomed her son soon after. Having cared for her grandparents and parents throughout her life, she naturally gravitated toward a career focused on wellness. Beginning as a Chiropractic Assistant, Lori's passion for supporting others’ health and healing truly flourished.

Now advancing her journey as a massage therapist, she combines intuitive care with hands-on skill to support healing and well-being. When she's not working with clients, Lori enjoys quiet, creative time and staying connected to her cultural roots through art and storytelling.
