Weaving a Legacy of Wellness and Community by Lifting Spirits

In the serene landscapes of Oahu, Hawaii, Lifted Spirits Winery and Wellness births as a testament to the dreams and dedication of Toni Duncan and Kebra Murphy, a formidable mother-daughter duo. This unique venture unfolds at the hands of their partnership. Together, they have created more than a business; they are cultivating a legacy of healing and holistic wellness that they hope will resonate within the community for generations to come. This enterprise is not just a business; it's the embodiment of a shared dream, a journey of healing, and a testament to the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter.

Meet Toni Duncan, a multifaceted entrepreneur whose journey is a testament to resilience, innovation, and a deep-seated passion for holistic wellness. Licensed as a psychotherapist since 2007 and honored to have served as a Marine Veteran, Toni's diverse career spans across various ventures, each echoing her commitment to enhancing well-being and community support.

Toni brings to this venture a wealth of knowledge and an insatiable appetite for growth. Her leadership at Lifted Spirits Winery and Wellness is more than a role; it's a calling. As the Owner and President, her vision is vast, extending beyond the immediate horizons to embrace global wisdom and healing practices. Toni's quest for knowledge and commitment to wellness is a journey without end, one that she plans to enrich with experiences and teachings from across the globe, equipping her to share unique energies and items with those who seek solace and meaning in their lives; making Lifted Spirits a beacon of holistic health and wellness.

Toni's professional odyssey is rich and varied, encompassing a decade-long successful private practice in psychotherapy focused on holistic wellness, alongside leading ventures such as a medical massage and wellness center, a vibrant party bus, a welcoming sports bar and grill, a convenient check cashing business, and a residential program for adults with intellectual disabilities, which she passionately ran for 9 years. Behind her professional accolades, Toni is a dedicated single mom to two adult children and a 12-year-old, her journey as a parent mirroring her journey in business—full of challenges, learning, and immense rewards.

The military brought Toni and her family to Hawaii from 2002 to 2005, a pivotal experience that ignited her love for the islands' natural beauty and tranquil spirit. Despite initial delays, her dream to return materialized post-pandemic when she purchased her home in Hawaii in the spring of 2021. Turning 50 last summer marked a significant milestone for Toni, inspiring her to intertwine her vast experiences, passions, and entrepreneurial spirit into a singular, ambitious venture.

In December 2022, after a year of searching for the perfect space, Toni's vision came to life with the opening of a unique Winery and Wellness space in Oahu, Hawaii. This venture is not just a business but a culmination of her life's work, passions, and a calling that resonates deeply with her spirit. Positioned as a sanctuary for both tourists and locals, including the military community, her new endeavor aims to offer a comprehensive day-long winery and wellness experience, alongside 4-7 day all-inclusive wellness retreats developed in collaboration with travel agencies. Her focus also extends to providing invaluable support and discussion groups, fostering partnerships, and creating collaborative opportunities with local healers to offer a truly unique healing space.

Toni's goal to further develop retreats, an ambition that began in North Carolina, has now found it’s home in the heart of Oahu. This venture is more than a business—it's a mission to provide a sanctuary where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and rejuvenation. Welcome to Toni Duncan's Winery and Wellness space, where every sip of wine and every moment of tranquility is a step closer to wellness and a testament to a life's purpose fulfilled.
