Lomi 'ili 'ili - traditional Hawaiian hot stone massage

Lomi 'ili 'ili is a traditional Hawaiian massage practice of using heated stones.  This is a gentle way to melt tension away and heated stones feel so good!

 

During lomi 'ili 'ili, stones of varying sizes are heated and that heat is applied directly and indirectly.  The heat helps tight muscles to relax while improving the flow of blood to the areas, encouraging healing nutrients to enter and toxins to exit.  While the stones are super hot, Naomi transfers heat from the stones to her hands to warm the body, preparing it to receive the stones directly.  Then the stones are applied and moved about in a similar way you would experience lomi lomi.  Sometimes, stones may be placed on the body to let the heat radiate into a specific area.

​

Why stones?  The earth is more than 4.5 billion years old and stones have been there for all of it!  There is deep wisdom in stones that can help us.  In keeping with traditional Hawaiian practice, the stones at The Lomi Room have been collected with permission and in ceremony and are treated with the utmost respect as an independent entity that will be returned to the place they were collected from when they have finished sharing their healing wisdom with us.

In a 75-minute appointment, you'll receive lomi 'ili 'ili to your back, neck and shoulders, upper arms, legs and hip/glutes.  By the end of a lomi 'ili 'ili you will feel relaxed, warm and refreshed.
