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 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.
I am a graduate of The Blisstitute of Living Aloha 2019, Dr Manaka Protocols 2012 (taught by Paul Movsessian) and The Australian Shiatsu College 2010.

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.

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.

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.
