What is Lomi Lomi
Massage? Lomi is a Hawaiian style of massage that
focuses on creating space in the joints so that
the muscle belly can heal itself. Often times
people show better alignment in their posture
after a lomi session. Lomi is generally thought
of as gentle and flowing. It is traditionally
paired with a hooponono, or peace-making
session with the practitioner beforehand in order
to address any conflicts in consciousness that
may also be causing stress to the body.
Traditionally Lomi Massage was also used in
accompaniment of Laau Lapaau (plant medicine).

The Origins of
Lomi-Lomi Lomi-lomi has its own set of ritual
vocabulary in Hawaiian which include prayer
(pule), spiritual energy and personal power
(mana), and breath of life (aloha). Translated
rather brutishly, lomi-lomi is something like
rub, rub, but more elegantly put, it would be
working in and out like the paws of a contented
cat. Another more spiritual translation could
be to turn or shift, referring to the massage
as a physical change that turns over a new leaf,
as it were, by ridding toxins and old material
from the body.
Importance Lomi-lomi is known to help stop
muscle spasms and strokes directed away from
the heart release tension. There are also
benefits for the lymphatic system old negative
particles stored in the body are released
through long strokes that unblock energy flow
and improve circulation.

What to Expect
Your Lomi experience will take place in a
comforting, calm, clean well-heated space.Its
about being present and supportive and
encouraging deep breath. There is generous use
of warm oils. So dress and plan accordingly for
when you leave.A word about draping - Lomi
draping is often shown on the internet as very
minimal. It is true that for some of the strokes
more of the body is exposed than in Swedish or
Sports massage, however draping is always
respectful, and in compliance with local rules.

What happens
during a Lomi Lomi

• Massage?
• The Lomi Lomi practitioner then works very
  intuitively with the client. In this respect
  there is no set format or sequence for the
  massage and no two massages will ever be
  identical.
• The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion
  using the forearms as well as the hands. Some
  people have described this as feeling like
  gentle waves moving over the body. Another
  feature is that different parts of the body may
  be massaged at the same time, for example one
  arm or hand may be working on a shoulder and the
  other hand may be working on the opposite hip.
