Our History
Island Spice, a spiritual surf co. and herbal research center was created by Dennis R. Prince. Dennis, more known as "SPICE" by friends, is a highly skilled traditional herbalist and energy channeler actively practicing on the island of Maui. Currently, he operates his healing research center assisting people locally and from around the world by helping them to bring themselves back into wellness. His wide array of different modalities to facilitate the healing process has allowed him to help those with health problems ranging from Aids to warts. This is done with the use of his knowledge on herbs, diet, and proper lifestyle. Massage, meditations, color and sound therapies are also a few of many techniques incorporated into the traditional methods used by Dennis to help others achieve a state of well being naturally. Over years of training, experience, and observation, Dennis has acquired the ability to read the eyes and body in which allows him to detect if the body is physically, emotionally, and/or electrically out of balance. But his greatest gift of all is his blessed ability to channel energies from a divine source and move suppressed energy from the body. This suppressed energy can block the spiritual body which can manifest "dis-ease"in the physical body. This diversity of knowledge has given Dennis the privilege and opportunity to appear on television, be published in news articles, as well as being broadcast on national "talk-show" radio.
Dennis learned much of his herbal lore from his grandparents at a very young age. He was taught farming techniques and the extensive utilization of plants and nature. These lessons include many "old folk" remedies for ailments. These remedies may come in the form of salves, tinctures, syrups, concoctions, oils, powders, teas, poultices, energetic plant frequencies (essences), and more. Aside from internal and external natural plant medicines, his expanded knowledge on the uses of plants also include the making of jewelry, soaps and shampoos, essential oils, colognes and perfumes, inks and dyes, bug repellents,food sources, hunting poisons, survival techniques, and much much more.
A vast knowledge of plants and many diverse methods for healing was also collected by Dennis from his worldly travels. He experienced the wonderful opportunity to personally work with and learn from others in the field of natural healing. Dennis worked with "folk healers" of the Appalachians; "bush doctors" in the Carribean; curranderos of Mexico and Central America ; generation herbalists throughout the globe; spiritualists and gypsies in South America; Bomohs, Tanaga Dalam, Balian, and the Dukun of Indonesia; Kahunas and Kapunas in the Hawaiian Islands; and Native American Indians throughout the continental U.S. and Canada. He also experienced the other side of the coin with discussions and learning about issues on health from Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other physicians of the non-traditional field of Western Medicine.
When very young, Dennis' loving father exposed him to the benefits of hypnotics and outer body travels. He also had the opportunity to learn through his life travels the ancient art of Burmese and Thai styles of massage from masters in the Golden Triangle region of South East Asia. Balinese massage of Indonesia as well as Hawaiian (Lomi Lomi) is also another style of massage learned by Dennis from the Kahunas and Kapunas in the Hawaiian island chain. Aside from massage, Dennis may use on his clients specific color and sound therapies as well as teaching and assisting others certain types of self taught meditations he's explored in order to help guide his clients back to health. It is not unusual for a person to take all the herbs available and eat the best diet possible, yet they cannot reach the goal of optimum health. This is when Dennis' true gift comes forward. This gift he respectfully holds sacred can move suppressing energy that prevents the body from functioning and operating freely. These blocks are generated by thought patterns, emotional traumas or experiences and many other occurrences from this lifetime and possibly others. Most claim to see colors, go into visions, feel massive energy flows, along with feeling the movement of and removal of things from the physical body. One may also see, feel, and communicate with energy forms, their personal guides, and angels as well. Clients also claim to realistically experience going into the past and future for themselves and others plus much much more.
Apart from Dennis' passions for working with plants and helping others, his greatest passion in his personal life is surfing. Working with plants and surfing around the planet inspired Dennis to create his own clothing line using the name Island Spice for his logo wear. Your purchasing of his Island Spice surf logo wear will not only style you out with cool threads, but will also assist to help Dennis expand his research with the infinite hopes of finding other means to help us all with possible new discoveries to new uses of plants and ways for healing naturally. As he continues to travel and learn from others as well as teach others methods for healing naturally and how to use the plants in their region of the world; Dennis plans to fulfill and accomplish great objectives and goals for Island Spice. His intentions are to teach villages, tribes, and people of all cultures from around the globe how to properly utilize and harvest the plants in their specific area of the planet. Thus forth stimulating not only top quality Island Spice herbal products but natural clothing apparel all the way from the textile fabrics to the dyes and inks as well. Dennis' ultimate goal with his company Island Spice is global unity by supporting world wide cultures through the means of the proper utilization and cultivation of plants existing in all regions of the earth. Excited with joy, Dennis is beyond greatful and thankful for all the people that have sought him for his knowledge and methods to heal naturally. Without these wonderful people, Dennis claims he wouldn't have near the knowledge for helping others that he does today. He is also highly appreciative towards those who have come into his life and influenced his spiritual and personal growth. Dennis is currently writing books about conscious health as a guide for all to use. He wants to share the knowledge he has gathered from his life experiences of working with others. Once the first book is completed, Dennis plans to distribute his teachings through seminars, public speeches, and published works. "In order for natural healing to truly benefit all, we must first raise our conscious awareness by opening new doors of perception."
