Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage technique that uses long, flowing, rhythmic strokes — often performed with the forearms — to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and release physical and emotional tension. It’s deeply rooted in Hawaiian philosophy, emphasizing harmony and healing.

Unlike many Western massage styles that focus on isolated muscle groups, Lomi Lomi works on the whole body in continuous, fluid motions. Practitioners often incorporate breathing, intention, and a nurturing touch that feels almost like a dance. While it fosters a reconnection between the body, mind, and spirit, this process can promote healing across various aspects of life. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing long-term stress, traumatic events, and feelings of burnout. Its holistic approach encourages a journey toward self-discovery and personal growth, empowering individuals to release emotional blockages and embrace a renewed sense of vitality. As clients immerse themselves in the gentle, rhythmic motions of Lomi Lomi, they often find clarity and peace, allowing them to navigate life's challenges with a more balanced perspective. This massage is not just a physical treatment but a profound experience that nurtures the soul and rejuvenates the spirit, fostering a deeper connection to oneself and the world around.

Lomi Lomi massage can:

• Reduce stress and anxiety.

• Improve blood and lymphatic circulation.

• Ease muscle tension.

• Promote a sense of emotional balance and well-being.

• Support detoxification and relaxation.

Traditionally, Lomi Lomi is performed directly on the skin using warm oil, with the client draped in a way that maintains dignity while allowing broad, sweeping strokes. Also, it allows us to work with the most tense areas like the pelvis and hip muscles. Of course, you can undress to your comfort level. Professional draping is always used around the intimate areas, so nothing is exposed for the whole duration of the treatment.

A typical full ceremonial session lasts 120 minutes; according to Hawaiian traditions, these extended sessions provide a deeper therapeutic experience. A long time ago, in Hawaiian Islands, shamanic ceremonies with chants and prayers lasted the whole day or more until the Mind and Body softened completely to listen to the Higher Self (Spiritual form of Self).

We can also adjust the duration by looking up your preferences and needs. That’s why we offer both 90-minute and 60-minute sessions to give you the opportunity to feel your body and choose the best option.

Lomi Lomi is generally gentle and soothing, but pressure can be adjusted to meet your needs. It’s not designed to be painful like some deep-tissue massages, but it can still address muscle tension effectively. Through specialized techniques, we can delve deeply as long as the patient can tolerate the pressure, resulting in long-lasting effects.

Definitely, yes — it’s rooted in the Hawaiian belief system of Aloha (love, compassion, and respect) and Huna or Ho’oponopono (living in harmony). While not religious, it often carries a meditative and healing energy.

• Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment.

• Avoid heavy meals and alcohol beforehand.

• Communicate any health conditions, injuries, or preferences to your therapist.

• Come with an open mind — the experience is as much about emotional release as it is about physical relaxation.

• Stay Hydrated Before and After Your Massage

• Make sure to drink plenty of water both before and after your massage.

• Make an effort to modify your schedule so that you can fully recuperate and rest after each session and even the following day.

This depends on your wellness goals. For stress relief, once a month may be enough. For ongoing issues, weekly sessions can be very beneficial.
