Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage
Benefits include:
Relaxing hyperactive minds
Reduces anxiety
Releasing stress in the body and feelings of disconnection
Enhancing general health and well being
Lomi Lomi is an ancient Hawaiian healing massage traditionally practised by master practitioners (Kahuna) and elders (Kupuna).
There are many forms of Lomi Lomi and the sacred gift has been passed down from generation to generation by the Kahunas, bearers of the light of knowledge. I am very privileged to be able to offer this wonderful massage in the form of Po'ina Nalu style (Breaking of the waves).
Rhythmical wave like movements of the practitioner’s forearms and hands are used to release tension, improve circulation of the blood and lymph, eliminate toxins and oedema, alleviate muscle spasm and increase metabolism.
A Lomi Lomi session includes pule (prayer), breath (ha), massage and movement of energy (mana). All of these are combined with the loving intention (Aloha) of the practitioner to create a safe and respectful healing experience that deeply connects with the realms of ancient wisdom.
Cotton sarongs are used to cover the body with the highest regard for modesty and integrity as Lomi Lomi is best experienced when the client is unclothed.

The Power of Connection
My legs were really hurting, I had just completed a half marathon for a charity run on a Greek island in the blazing heat. I must have been mad, as I thought I had kept myself fit over the years a half marathon would be easy. How wrong could I be!
It was the day after and I could hardly walk, my legs, lower back and shoulders were in agony. An elderly gentlemen who was with our group, offered me a massage. My muscles were tender and sore and the thought of someone touching me didn’t appeal. He sensed my hesitation and said “It won't hurt, I’ll do a Lomi Lomi massage on the back of your legs, it's very gentle, but will help the pain” there was something about him, that I couldn’t put my finger on – I felt safe and I agreed.
He had prepared the room beautifully, a lovely smell was in the air, the table was dressed with a simple brightly coloured sarong and gentle Hawaiian music played in the background. I lay face down and waited for the pain. Pleasantly surprised there was none. He used his forearms and flowed over the backs of my legs like a wave. I could see his feet moving like a dance and a steady flowing rhythm relaxed me completely.
After about 30 minutes I guess, I got up, very relaxed and calm and no immediate pain. I walked down to the beach and slept for about 4 hours, I have no idea where I went in my dreams, but it was a lovely deep sleep. I woke and got up, the pain in my entire body had gone. I was truly amazed. I couldn’t believe the affect it had. |
