rooted in Kaua’i, guided by spirit
Hi, I’m Victoria McDonald
Creative owner, visionary and director of Come Together Wellness and Akamu Wellness located on Kauai.
I am a life coach, healer, and founder of Akamu Wellness/Come Together Wellness. With over 20 years of experience in luxury hospitality, wellness, and cultural studies, I weave together embodiment practices, healing therapies,and cultural connection.
My businesses were born from the spirit of my grandmother, Akamu, whose name means of the Earth, and embodies foundation and strength. She carried resilience, wisdom, and devotion to family and helping others. Everything I create is guided by spirit.
Akamu’s spirit continues to flow through this work, shaping every retreat and every ritual. Through her, I learned that true luxury is not comfort, but also a feeling of being seen, heard, nourished, and restored.
The Company
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The retreats I curate are not just scheduled events, but living experiences designed to restore the nervous system, awaken the senses, and reconnect each guest to their own sacred rhythm. It is my duty and your duty to give back to Kaua’i This is the heart of the Akamu Way — when you heal, you heal to heal others
