Meet the Founder: Leslie Wall
CEO of Ho‘ala Publishing
I didn’t start this journey with a business plan — I started it with a story I was afraid to tell.
Years ago, I was a nurse who had given everything to the point of burnout. I knew what it meant to hold pain in the body, to carry unspoken stories, and to feel disconnected from your own purpose. Writing wasn’t just healing — it was how I came back to myself. It’s how I found clarity, peace, and power again.
Today, I lead Ho‘ala Publishing — a hybrid publishing house rooted in integrity and built on the ALOHA values of Awareness, Listening, Openness, Honoring, and Alignment. I’ve helped women turn their healing into books, their stories into frameworks, and their lived wisdom into communities that ripple with purpose.
This is more than publishing. It’s a return to truth.
I’ve had the honor of guiding courageous women — nurses, coaches, creatives, and changemakers — as they write books that birth programs, coaching practices, and movements.
We’ve seen stories become:
-
Courses that transform clients’ lives.
-
Books that anchor brands.
-
Journals and frameworks that create clarity for others.
-
And platforms that change how people see themselves.
This work is sacred. It’s strategic. It’s personal.
And it’s proof that when a woman reclaims her voice, she doesn’t just write a book — she writes her future.
Why We are Unique
Most book coaches or publishers do one of these things:
-
Coaches help you write, but stop before publishing.
-
Publishers get your book out, but don’t care about your healing or voice.
-
Business strategists help you build offers, but don’t know how to root them in story.
We do all three, in sequence — healing, writing, publishing, and scaling — under one philosophy.
Unlike other programs that only focus on writing or publishing, the Ho‘ala Method™ combines healing, authorship, and business-building into one roadmap. It’s storytelling as medicine — and publishing as legacy.
