Lizzie Doyle
Senior Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Sunshine West - Melbourne
(Bunurong land, Naarm, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: they/them
I first received Lomilomi in 2007 with no knowledge of what I was about to experience and was stunned by the ways it led me to connect deeply and intimately with the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of my self.
I first trained at The Blisstitute in 2022 and have since participated in two further trainings, deepening my knowledge of Hawai’ian ways and wisdoms, and the art of holding deep space in the presence of Aloha.
Through my prior career I worked with young people in their journey to overcome trauma relating to sexual abuse and assault, and family violence. On a personal level, I have lived experience of dysphoric and dysmorphic disorders and gender diversity. These experiences in particular inform my work with a focus on healing trauma and developing deep self-love, reframing your relationship with your miraculous self.
Our Lomi sessions will focus on whatever you presently need. I work without opinion or judgement, bringing deep listening, an open heart, and a commitment to drawing upon the ancient and sacred traditions of Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi. I welcome and will encourage you to connect deeply with all aspects of your self to enable great healing and growth.
Concession rates available upon request for anyone experiencing hardship.

Senior Lomilomi Practitioner

I believe bodywork helps to restore your connection with yourself, by working on your body's natural rhythm and by providing holistic care with complete client focus for an extended period.
After many years of practice I find that bodywork is beneficial in so many ways, for example: circulation and mobility issues, fascia release, finding a sense of grounding and physical/emotional recalibration, and most importantly, when bodywork is used as a regular health maintenance tool it can assist in preventing dis-harmony from arising.
Sessions with me will be a different experience for each person depending on their needs. They can be very active and involve client participation for stretches and tension release or they could also be just intuitive, following the body's tension and using a whole range of techniques from holding, stretching, long flowing strokes and sometimes some gentle breathing guidance. It really all depends on what the goal of the client is.
Please note that Lomilomi is a healing bodywork practice that works with the whole body in a safe, respectful way, guided by your consent and comfort. Lomilomi does not involve the genitals or sexual energy. It supports physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing

Hazel Boyce
Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Brunswick - Melbourne
(Naarm, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: she/they
I commit my deep, un-wavering respect to the Hawaiian Kūpuna; the Elders, and to the Lomilomi lineage, the Kūmu, the teachers. I commit my love to the āina, the land, by promising to always connect “care” to care of community and care of Country.
Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage moves mana, energy, back into flow and into its natural rhythm. It speaks to the body in its own language, translated by the communication of the breath, the Hā. Lomilomi helps the body relax into its most honest state. It encourages deep presence through the nurturing of Aloha. Receiving Lomilomi feels like being truely listened to.
My private practice is called C.O.V.E. The cove is known as the softest part of the landscape, where it is calm and safe. The shelter from the storm. C.O.V.E stands for Cycles of Vital Energy, which reflects how life is full of powerful cyclic patterns, seasonal changes, ebs & flows.

Klaudia Ozga
Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Heidelberg West – Melbourne
(Wurundjeri, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: she/her
I received my first Lomilomi as a birthday gift and that was the beginning of my journey and deep connection with this powerful, Hawaiian practice. To me, Lomilomi is a dance. A dance of a body being gently held, massaged and swayed on the table. A dance of connection between the mind, body and spirit, a connection with oneself and Akua (spirit). A dance of energy that flows through the body, that is moved and released as needed. Lomilomi is not just a massage, it is a deep process of realigning, clearing, and processing which helps you calm your mind, relax, activate your body and release any blockages that prevent you from feeling balanced and centred in your life.
With my background in emotional release, shamanic work, and tantra, I use the power of presence and loving touch, inviting each person to connect to the wisdom of their body, open their heart to receive and allow the energy to be moved. In my practice I bring ritual and Pule (prayer) as a way to drop into your body and connect with the spirit. My sessions are a space of deep honouring of you, your journey, and your intentions. Holding a deep space of Aloha (unconditional love), I invite you to relax, receive and surrender to the long, nurturing and flowing strokes, gentle stretches and deep holding that allows you and your body to come to a place of alignment and inner peace.
Lomilomi is a deeply spiritual modality that I hold with much respect and reverence. It works with the whole body in a safe, respectful way and does not involve genital touch or sexual energy. It supports physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing, rooted in the wisdom of Hawaiian teachings.

Erica Ferguson
Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Fitzroy - Melbourne
(Ngár-go, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: she/her
To me aloha means love without judgement, unconditional love and a gentle reminder that everything is connected. Every time I touch your body, I do it with aloha and respect.
I spent most of my life with an impenetrable shell and an egoic hunger to be seen as independent. This worked for me until I started to notice that the walls around my heart were stopping the flow of love, connection and joy from coming in and out of my life. After years of talk therapy, I discovered holistic healing modalities that bypassed words and reached into the places I had hidden, even from myself. Lomilomi offered me a safe, grounded space to gently soften my armour and reconnect to my heart.
This is what I now offer to others through Lomilomi. A way to express, release stored emotion, tension and energetic blockages, without needing to explain or justify what you’re carrying. The body always knows. When we allow it to be held, listened to, and supported, truth and clarity can rise to the surface. I believe there is a balance of being protective but not so rigid that we cut off the flow and goodness of life. I help those who are wanting to experience the liberation, freedom and fierceness of living life without layered and heavy armouring. You are your most protected and powerful self when you follow the truth of your heart.
All of you are welcome in my space.
Belinda Res
Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: 'The Nook' Balaclava
(Naarm, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: she/her
I’m Belinda Res, a proud member of the Blisstitute Team and based at The Nook in Balaclava. Lomilomi spoke to me through its gentleness, simplicity, and emotional depth—qualities I value deeply in a healing modality.
It’s been a privilege to offer Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage within my local LGBTQIA+ and yoga community. Establishing a “no financial barrier” policy has allowed me to share this practice with those who need it most.
Welcoming all sizes, all genders, ages and stages of life, I hold a space of aloha (unconditional love). As a Yoga Teacher of over 15 years, my invitation is to allow your feelings and experiences to be present without judgement in real time. And, whilst I love a chat, talking is guided by you in our sessions because I am a strong believer in personal agency on and off the table.
We begin with tea, meditation, and intention-setting. From there, I choose music that reflects your sharing. The full-body Lomilomi takes place on a large, heated table (with a little step to help you up). Afterwards, you’ll be offered fruit, nuts, and the option of Australian Bush Flower Essences to support your journey forward.
Alongside this work, I co-run Queer Yoga Naarm—offering inclusive retreats and workshops with my partner—and teach in under-resourced primary schools.
Initially trained as a Steiner teacher I am interested in the stories we tell ourselves and how they intersect with our life experience. Using a non hierarchical approach - I will work with you to unwind the knots of the body whether physical or emotional. I so look forward to meeting you and sharing the beauty of lomilomi.

Alice Pace
Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Wurundjeri Land, Kuliin Nation
Pronouns: she/her
Bodywork reaches deep. It is a medium of interfacing that integrates the unspeakable forms that words can’t fully transmute. It is a prayer that tends to the assemblages of body: land, mind and spirit, so that you can orient towards being in right relationship with your heart and inspire possibilities of regenerative and reciprocal relationships.
I offer a collaborative setting that truly values lived experience.
That honours the deep ecologies we are a part of and is in devotion to all that came before, all that we are becoming and the mystery within it all.
I offer unshakeable presence, integrity and contrast. Softness to support your rest and intentional push back to nurture your growth.
A mirror and light within the darkness that offers the possibility of integration, through coming to know yourself and finding peace in the darkness.
My practice is guided by my continued dedication to this lineage of lomi lomi and my heart. An integration of modern and traditional medicine frameworks, trauma informed protocols, somatics and my lived experience as a trans woman.
I offer home visits and limited monthly clinic sessions in Fitzroy.

Alice Peebles
Senior Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Upwey - Dandenong Ranges
(Wurundjeri, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: she/her
There are opportunities to escape and opportunities to be present with ourselves, our struggles and joys. It is my hope that by receiving Lomilomi massage, people experience what they need to in the moment. Through Hawaiian wisdom and safe, consensual, nurturing touch I wish to give you the opportunity to come more fully into your authentic, autonomous self. Shifts and changes can occur through developing a clear connection to our body and caring touch from another human can help calm ones nervous system, tap into emotions and build capacity for self-regulation. I invite you to experience Lomilomi as an active meditation and a conscious embodied receiving.
Lomilomi massage takes you on a journey. It is illuminating and warm and can be a calm island refuge from the busyness of life. With long flowing strokes under and over the body, gentle stretches and organic coconut oil, it is relaxing, energising, and deeply profound.
I am a graduate of The Blisstitute of Living Aloha in 2017, Australian Craniofascial Therapy School in 2019, and Melbourne Lymphatic Drainage Centre in 2021.
All bodies and brains welcome.

Noah Hancock
Senior Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Castlemaine
(Dja Dja Wurrung, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: they/she
I believe every single person deserves to receive loving touch, to feel safe and empowered in their bodies. Through bodywork, ecstatic dance, nature connection and ceremony it is my purpose to support you to come home to ‘the soft animal of your body’.
I have been a body worker for 7 years, 4 of these practicing Lomilomi. I view Lomilomi as dance of connection — between the giver and receiver, Earth and Spirit, our Ancestors, and who we are yet to become. It is prayer embodied.
My sessions are slow, deep and honouring of who you are and where you’re at. We are not trying to ‘fix’ anything. We work with intention, gently allowing the nervous system to unwind, tension to ease and the body to drop into a state of receptivity. In this state the body is open to receiving deep nourishment and the unconditional love of Aloha.
When I’m not in my studio ‘Soul Nest’ you can find me wandering in the bush geeking out on birds, hanging out with my dog, dancing wildly or drinking tea with my nose firmly pressed in a book. I have recently become a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant and Funeral Celebrant and look forward to walking this path.
You can text me on 0423824942 to make a booking.

Nicki Lyons
Lomilomi Practitioner
Location: Cockatoo
(Wurundjeri, Kulin Nation)
Pronouns: she/her
In 2012, life jolted me awake. The corporate grind felt suffocating, and I knew I had to change. I set out to rediscover joy and reconnect with the spark I had lost.
In 2018, I experienced my first Lomilomi massage, and it was a revelation—gentle, nurturing, and deeply healing. It was a reminder of how much the world needs tenderness. This led me to enrol in Charlie’s Lomilomi training in 2019, where I was moved to tears by the wisdom and authenticity of the teachings. It was a transformative chapter in my life.
Now, years later, each Lomilomi session continues to bring healing, both for my clients and myself. Whether someone is releasing deep emotions or simply relaxing, the shift is always profound—a shared journey of transformation.
I offer Lomilomi in the peaceful heart of my home in Cockatoo, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Eastern Dandenong Ranges, where the stillness alone will help you unwind.
