This massage technique is derived from ancient Polynesian methods of healing, where bodywork/massage was an important part of life and a preventative of illness. Treatments were known to last hours, sometimes days.
The integrity and skill of the practitioner is still of utmost importance, as it is only through pure intent that true healing can take place.
Today, the basic Hawaiian philosophy and sacredness behind this beautiful ritual continues to be preserved.
Lomi Lomi massage includes long, fluid, rhythmic strokes with the hands over the whole body, which are used as an extension of the heart.
This rhythm creates a dance-like movement which combined with deep breathing, leaves the practitioner in a clear meditative space, and the client in a state of blissful peace.
