Lomi Lomi Massage

About Lomi Lomi Massage

The word “lomi lomi” translates to “rub rub” in Hawaiian. The massage is based on Huna philosophy and is thought to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. It is also known as the ‘loving hands’ massage. 

Lomi Lomi massage involves the combination of breathing and free-form instinctive techniques to open energy pathways, release tension, and remove blockages. During lomi lomi massage, your body is massaged with long, rhythmic, and sweeping strokes similar to the motion of waves.

• release tension
• assist blood and lymph flow
• eliminate waste and stimulate toxins
• rejuvenate the body
• instil a sense of peace and connection , harmony and wellbeing

In Hawaii, lomi lomi is used to treat children with upset stomachs and soothe women in labour. A lomi lomi therapist will not aim to heal themselves, but to be the facilitator for healing – to enable healing to take place.
