About Lomi Lomi
There are many styles of Lomi Lomi from lineages of all of the Islands. Find which one is right for you. Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian Healing Therapy. Lomi Lomi's intention is result oriented. Lomi Lomi goes beyond the superficial layer of muscles. By working through key muscle groups in particular sequences, including joint mobilization, we open up other key muscle groups and links that enable us to work at a deep level to address the issue, complaint, discomfort, which provides immediate and long-term relief of muscular-skeletal pain, mental fatigue and reduce the physical effects of stress.
Lomi Lomi massage is based on an ancient traditional Hawaiian holistic approach to wellness, addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual being. You will experience immediate relief from stress, tension and pain. The objectives of the Lomi Lomi full-body oil massage are to address the source of the problem, allowing for a more permanent pain free body, to restore motion and to provide preventative maintenance. The "loving touch" can reach the depth of one's soul so the opportunity for healing can take place.
Lomi Lomi in the ancient traditional use incorporated massage, exercise, herbs, poultices, bonesetting, prayers, family counseling, hygiene, the use of heat (steam baths, warm springs and cold) and Hot Stones or Wela Pohaku. In Modern times, herbs, bonesetting and counseling are considered to be additional specialty areas that only a few are qualified to do.
As Kumu Maka'ala Yates describes, "We are addressing all levels with our intention, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual with the opportunity (depending on the therapist and their abilities) of communicating 'to the bones'...to affect on a cellular level a change so that healing can take place at a deep level. Lomilomi is deep, yet non-invasive while achieving the desired results."
