What is Lomi Lomi Massage?
An ancient Hawaiian healing art that uses long, rhythmic strokes—like ocean waves—to restore balance in body, mind, and spirit. This massage goes beyond technique, offering a deeply nurturing experience guided by intention, presence, and unconditional aloha.
Lomi Lomi Massage
Originating from the ancient healing traditions of Hawaii, Lomi Lomi is more than just a massage—it’s a sacred ritual of care. Traditionally practiced by Hawaiian healers (kahunas), it was used not only to relax the body, but also to cleanse emotional, energetic, and spiritual blockages, bringing the person back into harmony with themselves and with life.
Lomi Lomi works on the belief that emotions are stored in the cells of the body, and through loving touch and continuous flow, these tensions can be released.
Who is it for?
Lomi Lomi is ideal for:
• Those seeking emotional or energetic healing, not just physical relief.
• People experiencing stress, grief, emotional tension, or disconnection.
• Anyone drawn to holistic or spiritual bodywork.
• Those who enjoy long, flowing, nurturing touch and want to feel held and supported.
• Clients who need to reconnect with their body, heart, and spirit in a deep, gentle way.
Techniques Used
• Long, flowing, wave-like strokes performed with forearms, hands, and sometimes elbows, moving fluidly over the whole body.
• Full-body integration—often several areas are worked at once (e.g., one arm and the opposite leg), promoting a sense of wholeness and connection.
• Rhythmic and intuitive movement, often synchronized with breath or music.
• Use of warm oils to support smooth, flowing motion.
• Gentle joint rotations, passive stretching, and energetic presence to release deeper blockages.
• The practitioner often works in a meditative, prayerful state, guided by the Hawaiian spirit of Aloha (compassion, presence, love).
