Lomi Lomi Massage

Lava shells

Lava shells are designed in the shape of the giant tiger clam and are hollow so that they can be filled with natural self-heating or cooling minerals that activate with water. They are applied to the body for massage (similar to hot stones). The lava shells deliver heat deep into the muscles and body. The combination of one hot and one cold Lava Shell acts to move muscle metabolites, enhance blood and lymphatic flow and speed muscle healing and detoxification. For this reason, it's super important that you drink plenty of water before and after a massage. The combination of cold and hot shells facilitates muscle recovery and helps to flush metabolites much the same as a hot and cold shower works after a gym session.

 

A spiritual experience

In this deeply spiritual massage form, your ancestors are invited to be present and assist in whatever healing is needed. By working with the energy body as much as the physical body, we can align these aspects of ourselves, promoting harmony and balance. Our physical body holds on to ancestral patterns and emotional pain. When we free ourselves from these limiting painful patterns we can transform and grow as humans. By allowing yourself the time and space to heal, you invite in a deeper understanding of yourself and a greater sense of connection to the divine.

Connection with nature

Lomi Lomi's massage is rooted in Hawaiian spirituality, which emphasises a deep reverence for nature, community, and the divine. As a Lomi Lomi practitioner, I have a deep reverence for nature and respect for my clients. I share this in our healing sessions through my conscious connection to the plants that provide the natural essential oils and organic carrier oils used in the massage. 

 

What to expect when you visit me for a Lomi Lomi Massage

• Booking - I will review your booking request and accept authentic bookings.

• You will then be emailed an intake and waiver form. This helps me tailor the session to your needs, concerns and health issues. 

• What to wear: Lomi Lomi is an oil massage and is typically performed with the recipient fully undressed and covered with a sarong or towel. Your private areas are covered at all times. If you choose to wear underwear; which is completely fine if you do! Please wear a pair that you do not mind getting a little bit of coconut oil on. 

• It is preferred that clients remove earrings, jewellery and makeup before the massage. 

• Technique: Lomi Lomi massage involves long, flowing strokes from your feet to your upper body. Hot or cold lava shells are an optional add-on for deeper tissue work. All sessions include hot towels, organic coconut oil and high-quality essential oils.

• Underbody work: underbody work is one of the magical techniques of Lomi Lomi, and once you try it, you will wonder why it has taken you so long to discover Lomi! Hands slide underneath your back and legs, using your body weight to deliver a deeper tissue massage, it is an opportunity to surrender and allow your body to fully relax. These maneuvers are magic for tight shoulder blades! 

• Breathing: During the massage, you may experience emotional or physical discomfort. I will work with you to breathe through the tension until you feel completely comfortable. If you need to stop the massage - we stop, if you need to reposition for comfort - we make time to do this. It's important to remember that this session is all about you! 

• Communication: You can talk as much or as little as you like. I will usually be quiet, though I like to check in from time to time to ensure that the pressure, technique, and overall experience is comfortable for you. You are most welcome to ask for more or less pressure or ask questions about what you are experiencing. Requesting additional bolsters for comfort, different scents, or different oils is possible - you need only ask.

• Intuitive reading: I will undoubtedly receive information that will be helpful to you. Sometimes I receive a lot, sometimes a little. I often get an insight into the history or emotional reasons for physical aches and pains and I receive guidance on a pathway forward for healing. I offer this information to you with no attachment as to what you do with it. It is a message just for you. 

• Aftercare: After your massage, I will offer suggestions for self-care, such as drinking plenty of water, taking a warm bath, or engaging in gentle stretching exercises. You may be offered a small pinch of Hawaiian red salt which ensures you are grounded and in your body for your travel home.

Anxious?

Are you a little nervous about attending new venues and experiences? No problem. Let me know and I can send you detailed information about arriving, where to park, what the venue looks like and any details you require to set your mind at ease before your appointment. Also if you're not ready for the full Lomi Lomi experience (underbody work and stretching), there is an Introduction to Lomi Lomi, which is a little more like a relaxation massage and a great way to ease into Lomi. If you like, you can book a phone call with me before you book a session.
