‘Lomi Lomi’ means ‘to rub or to knead’ in the Hawaiian (Polynesian) language and it is a beautiful form of body work which is energetically vibrant yet deeply relaxing. It is a full body oil based massage in which the practitioner uses hands and forearms in long fluid strokes of varying intensity and rhythm up, down and around the body.
The massage has a unique flowing style, which is deep tissue in nature, working to nurture the body as well as to release tension and
relieve strain. ‘Lomi Lomi’ also balances the mind emotionally thereby providing a safe space for you to empower yourself to deal
effectively with life’s challenges.
The Introductory to Lomi Lomi Workshop is designed for people who work in the massage industry and are interested in the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of massage and exploring alternative modalities of treatment.
