The Ohana Way

Support for Families and Loved Ones walking through life’s transitions. We guide our clients with compassion, deep listening, and care.

Who We Are

Ohana is more than a word—it embodies deep connection, care, and responsibility. At The Ohana Way, we live this value daily. Founded by Laura Mansfield, our team marries caretaking, project management precision and emotional intelligence to ease life's transitions.

Cultural Acknowledgment & Giving Back

‘Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind—or forgotten.”
— A Hawaiian Proverb

We honor the Native Hawaiian origins of the word ʻohana, which carries deep cultural meaning rooted in care, interconnection, and shared responsibility. These values are central to our mission and how we serve families during times of transition.

While The Ohana Way is not based in Hawai‘i, our name was inspired by time spent there and a deep respect for the way elders, ancestors, and community are honored. We use this name with humility, intention, and reverence for its roots.

As part of our ongoing commitment to give back, we donate 5% of our net proceeds to organizations that preserve and uplift Native Hawaiian culture and communities. We are proud to support the PAʻI Foundation, which champions traditional Hawaiian arts, language, and cultural practice.

What We Do

We offer full-service support for individuals and families: from customized planning, caretaking, project management, family conversation facilitation, and vendor coordination. We meet each of our clients and their families with empathy and care.

Why the Ohana Project

Our approach blends heart and structure. Born from Laura’s own experience helping her aging parents we uniquely address the emotional as well as logistical aspects often overlooked by other services.
