LOMI LOMI MASSAGE IS MORE THAN A BODY TREATMENT
-it is a traditional Hawaiian healing art that cradles body, mind and spirit in gentle, flowing rhythm. If you've never experienced it before, you might wonder what truly happens in a session, and how it might feel to receive such care.
Whether you are seeking deep rest, emotional release, or a new way to nurture yourself, this massage offers a restorative experience unlike any other - an invitation to return to your body, to presence, and to ease.
EXPERIENCE THE GENTLE FLOW OF THIS MASSAGE
WHERE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT ARE HELD IN HEALING RHYTHM, INVITING YOU TO REST, RELEASE, AND RETURN TO YOURSELF.
A WARM WELCOMING SPACE
When you arrive for your session, you'll step into a calm, supportive space within my home - a place held with quiet reverence for the Hawaiian tradition and for your unique story.
We'll begin by slowing down. A few grounding breaths to settle, releasing the day's weight, allowing your body to know you are safe here. We'll talk about your intentions for the session, so that every movement, every breath, honours your needs in this moment.
STEP INTO A WARM WELCOMING SPACE
WHERE SAFETY AND REVERENCE CREATE THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR HEALING JOURNEY THROUGH CONSENSUAL TOUCH
FLOWING, RHYTHMIC TOUCH
The hallmark of Lomi Lomi is it's long, continuous, wave-like strokes - often delivered with the forearms in a smooth, unbroken rhythm. These movements soothe the nervous system, creating the sensation of being both held and supported.
In keeping with the traditional Hawaiian practice, each session includes nurturing massage of the glutes, abdomen and heart space. These areas are honoured as part of the whole body's interconnected system, supporting energy flow, releasing stored tension, and fostering a deeper sense of openness and connection.
Gentle stretches for the arms and legs invite more space into the body, while the flowing strokes encourage circulation, ease muscular tension, and guide you toward a natural state of rest - like the stillness that follows the tide.

A MIND-BODY-SPIRIT EXPERIENCE
Lomilomi is often described as a conversation with the whole being - physical, emotional, and spiritual. In Hawaiian tradition, the body is seen as an interconnected landscape, where every area holds stories, memories, and energy.
The inclusion of the glutes, abdomen, and heart space is not incidental - it is a way of tending to areas that are often overlooked, yet carry deep reservoirs of emotion, life force, and ancestral memory. In many cultures, the abdomen is linked to intuition and vitality, the glutes to stability and strength, and the heart space to connection, love, and truth.
Through it's gentle yet profound touch, this massage can help soften these areas, allowing stored emotions to surface and old patterns to release. The body remembers our stories - our own and those carried through generations - and, with awareness and care, can find new ways to hold them, or let them go entirely.

GENTLE TOUCH OPENS THE HEART SPACE, INVITING DEEP HEALING, CONNECTION AND THE RELEASE OF ANCESTRAL STORIES.
AFTER YOUR MASSAGE
When the session ends, you may feel light, deeply relaxed, and more attuned to yourself. I encourage you to take the rest of the day slowly - drink water, notice how you feel, and let the shifts continue to settle in your body.
You are welcome to shower afterwards, allowing warm water to wash over you as a cleansing ritual, or you may choose to let the nourishing oils remains, soaking into your skin as the experience continues to unfold.
