The Life in Business: Synergy

LIB SynergySynergy is “a collaboration of like-minded practitioners, artists and healers who believe in wellness on all levels of life.”

Patricia’s Transitions, Trystin’s Therapeutic Massage, and  Clay’s DreamScapes were finding it challenging to operate as individual practices, and that led them to the dream of collaborating.

“We transformed challenge into growth. That’s just the message Synergy wishes to impart to its customers,” says Patricia.

“Tending to the body, mind and spirit, our products and services are offered in a beautiful healing environment. This idea was birthed one year ago and continues to grow and evolve as Synergy responds to the desires of the community,” she says.

Other artists and practitioners are represented, as well, while the three founders remain the foundation of the business. Synergy offers cards that induce laughter, psychic readings, remedies for physical and emotional issues and jewelry that holds healing stone energies.

Located on the corner of Furneaux and Keawe Streets in downtown Hilo, this location has good energy, say the owners. “Local clientele and visitors comment on what a joy it is to come into such a restful, uplifting environment.”

Patricia O’Neill Gleason, a Hilo resident for nearly 36 years, has had several service businesses. Her love of flowers and healing energy work led her to aromatherapy and flower essence blending. With 18 years of working in the health field, she has a special eye for selecting specific wellness products, creating tranquil environments and sacred space.

Trystin Oeljen Street has been caring for the emotional and physical needs of her community for more than a decade—first through youth development and currently through therapeutic massage and bodywork. Her unique and intuitive style incorporates many modalities from deep tissue to Reiki.

Clay Owens is a “natural born artist and dreamer.” His hand-painted clothing was retailed in Nieman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and many art festivals. Blending his talent with studies of dreaming, symbolism and spirituality, he offers art, art workshops, graphic design dream tours and henna tattoos.
