Lomi lomi - traditional Hawaiian massage

Lomi lomi is the ancient Hawaiian art of massage.  In true Hawaiian aloha spirit, it's given with loving hands and a loving heart, creating a safe space to let go and return to being your best self.

​

Lomi lomi is gentle yet deep.  Using long flowing strokes, lomi lomi works through the layers to release blockages and improve circulation.  Lomi lomi does not force the body to release if it's not ready so inflammation is minimised.  That means you're less likely to feel bruised and sore afterwards and without the need for recovery you can return to sports and activities sooner.  If your aim is to relieve tension in the body, you'll experience "good pain" that occurs when the pressure releases the layers.  

​

Lomi lomi helps the body to return to its natural physical and energetic alignment - you are more than your aches and pains and lomi lomi connects with you as a whole person.   

​

In keeping with traditional practices prayer, chanting and song are also used to move energies.  Sometimes natural elements such as sticks and stones are used which adds another dimension to the massage.  Lomi lomi isn't just a massage, it's a lifestyle whereby we understand how everyday actions such as meals, thoughts and activity can serve to give us thriving good health.

By the end of a lomi lomi you will feel relaxed, centered and more like yourself.  There is some more information about lomi lomi in FAQ.
