LOMI LOMI MASSAGE
Lomi Lomi massage is the traditional style of Hawaiian bodywork, a form of massage which goes much deeper than physical relaxation - it aims to restore balance, harmony and flow within a person's whole being, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Also called “Loving hands” massage, Lomi Lomi uses warm oil and long, flowing strokes up and down the body, mimicking the ebb and flow of the ocean. The fluid movements allow the mind to truly switch off, so that the receiver may experience themselves on a deeper level. In Lomi we work over the body, but also under the body, which feels amazing and induces a deep state of blissful surrender.
But what truly sets Lomi apart is one simple ingredient - Love.
The skill of a Lomi Lomi practitioner lies in their ability to become a conduit for love - not a personal love, but a universal, unconditional love. In this space, the receiver feels fully accepted, held, and safe, exactly as they are. In this state of deep safety, the receiver’s natural wisdom can take over, gently healing anything that is in the way of their natural, relaxed, clear and joyful state.
Every Lomi session is different, some are deeply relaxing, and others more therapeutic. It is not uncommon to cry, laugh, make sounds, and experience very deep healing during a Lomi session. All expressions are healthy and welcome.
I have been a Lomi Lomi practitioner since early 2018. I offer client sessions and introductory workshops in Sydney, as well as a yearly practitioner training in Bali, held alongside my own teacher, Nisarga.

"My Lomi lomi massage with Zena was a delight from beginning to end. I felt safe, held, nurtured and respected throughout the delicious experience. Zena's intuitive touch felt healing and calming and her treatment room perfectly blends peace and luxury. After the massage I felt wonderfully calm and energised. I thoroughly recommend the experience and can't wait to return!"

FAQs
I am worried about getting so oily. Can I take a shower afterwards?
Absolutely - I encourage you to do so in fact as oil is wonderful for your skin but not so great for your clothes! Shower time is included in your 2 hour session.
(Women) Is it ok if I have my period?
Absolutely - just let me know if you are in any pain prior to beginning the session.
How is Lomi Lomi different from tantra massage?
Tantra massage is similar to Lomi in that it draws inspiration from the elements (water, earth, fire, air and ether) using different types of touch to encourage the receiver to drop deeply into the body and into the realm of sensation. However, Tantra Massage purposefully awakens and moves sexual energy through the body, and includes genital touch. Lomi does not include genital touch, and does not seek to awaken sexual energy. Instead, Lomi encourages deep relaxation, a state in which the body and psyche naturally and gently heal anything that is out of balance.
(Men) I am worried about getting an erection, what happens if I do?
Anything your body wants to do or not do is ok. Just as I don't mind if you fall asleep, snore, drool, fart, bleed, laugh or cry, I don't mind if you get an erection. There is no shame in natural body functions. I will simply continue the massage.
Do you do Tantra massage?
No. There is no genital touch in Lomi Lomi.
Do you do happy endings?
No.
