LOMI LOMI MASSAGE
The ancient Hawaiian healing massage called lomi lomi is traditionally a long oil massage using the forearms & hands; it is given with the practitioner’s full focus in the Hawaiian spirit of aloha, harmonizing the mind body & spirit. With long rhythmic strokes and continuous movement around the body, lomi lomi is flowing and dynamic - it clears, nurtures, relaxes and is highly beneficial to the muscular, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Lomi lomi creates a sense of well being, raises your self esteem, bringing the joy of life to your body and a feeling of peace to your mind. Lomi lomi is also excellent for releasing both the physical and emotional stress that can be caused by modern living. Being both therapeutic and enjoyable, this is a ninety minute massage to be experienced.
Treatment
It is advisable to allow two hours for a lomi lomi massage taking into consideration a short consultation beforehand and time to change. Because of the use of oil and for the flow of the massage it is preferable to receive lomi lomi without any clothes; you will be kept covered with a loin cloth throughout the massage. The oil used is a blend of sweet almond and fractionated coconut oils; they are of a high quality and excellent for the skin.
