LOMI LOMI MASSAGE
Lomi Lomi is not just a massage.
It is an ancient healing modality that is reclaiming its place in the modern world, because we need it now, more than ever.

What is Lomi Lomi?
Lomi Lomi is the traditional form of Hawaiian shamanic bodywork, also referred to as "loving hands massage".
It involves long, flowing strokes that move across the body like waves, creating a deeply soothing, almost meditative experience.
Rather than working on isolated areas, Lomi Lomi treats the body as a whole. The continuous movement helps to release tension, calm the nervous system, and invite a sense of deep rest and blissful surrender. Receiving Lomi is both grounding and expansive, as the body is being gently unwound and reconnected at the same time.
What makes Lomi different?
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 and care, and 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.

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 2.5 hour session.
Is this suitable if I’ve never had bodywork before?
Yes. Many people come to Lomi Lomi for the first time with no prior experience.
What if I feel emotional during the session?
That’s completely welcome. Sometimes the body releases stored tension or emotion - whether that’s through tears, laughter, or other expression. You’ll be held in a safe, non-judgemental space.
(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.
Is Lomi Lomi a sexual service?
No. Lomi Lomi is a professional, non-sexual bodywork practice. There is no genital touch, and the intention is purely therapeutic and restorative.
