🌺 Why Lomi Lomi Massage Is So Much More Than Just Relaxation
If you’ve ever felt like your body is holding more than just physical tension—like maybe it’s storing emotions, stress, or even spiritual heaviness—you’re not alone. That’s where Lomi Lomi massage comes in.
Also known as Hawaiian temple-style massage, Lomi Lomi is a sacred, ancient healing practice that’s been passed down through generations of Hawaiian healers. It’s not just about working on tight muscles (though it does that beautifully). It’s about coming back to yourself—body, mind, and spirit.
At my healing space in Tweed Heads, just near the Gold Coast, I offer Lomi Lomi sessions that blend tradition with deep care. Here’s why people come back again and again.
🌿 What Makes Lomi Lomi So Special?
It melts stress and anxiety. The flowing, rhythmic strokes—often using my forearms—create a wave-like motion that helps your nervous system unwind. You’ll drop into deep relaxation, often within minutes.
It improves your circulation and speeds up healing. This massage stimulates blood flow, helps your body detox, and delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. Great if you’ve been feeling sluggish or sore.
It helps you sleep better. So many clients tell me they sleep like a baby after a session. When your body relaxes and your mind gets quiet, deep rest comes naturally.
It eases pain and tension without leaving you sore. Unlike some deep tissue massages that leave you feeling bruised, Lomi Lomi (especially when combined with warm or cool Lava Shells) works deeply but gently. Your muscles will feel soft and soothed—not pummelled.
It shifts emotional energy. A lot of what we carry—grief, anger, fear—gets stored in the body. Lomi Lomi, especially when paired with energy healing like Reiki, helps move that stuck energy. People often say they feel lighter, clearer, and more themselves afterward.
It reconnects you to your spirit. This massage honours the Hawaiian belief that healing is holistic. We are not just bodies—we are spirit too. Lomi Lomi can help you feel that again. It’s subtle, but powerful.
🌸 What to Expect in a Session with Me
Before we start, we’ll have a chat about how you’re feeling, what you’re needing, and how I can best support you. It’s totally normal to feel a bit nervous, especially if this is your first time, and I’ll guide you every step of the way.
You’ll be covered with a towel or sheet, and I’ll use warm coconut oil and (if you choose) hot or cold Lava Shells to add depth and balance to the treatment. Sometimes I’ll gently move your arms or legs, or guide you to take a deep breath to help release tension.

Every session is different because every body is different. But one thing’s for sure—you’ll walk out feeling softer, clearer, and more in tune with yourself.
What to Wear for a Lomi Lomi Massage?
If you’re new to Lomi Lomi massage, one of the most common questions is: “What do I wear?”
The short answer is: whatever makes you feel comfortable.
During a Lomi Lomi massage, you're invited to undress to your personal level of comfort. Some people choose to remove all clothing, while others prefer to keep their underwear on — both options are completely welcome and respected.
No matter what you choose, your privacy and modesty are always protected. I use careful draping techniques with towels and soft sarongs, ensuring that only the area being massaged is uncovered. You are never fully exposed, and the experience is designed to feel safe, nurturing and deeply relaxing.
It’s important to know that Lomi Lomi is a sacred, non-sexual healing massage. Your private areas will never be touched, and your boundaries will be honoured throughout the session.
The goal of Lomi Lomi is to help you feel more connected, grounded and at ease in your body — and that begins with feeling safe and supported from the moment you arrive.
At The Healing Bower, everyone is welcome. This is a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ people, where your identity, body and boundaries are honoured without judgment. Healing is deeply personal, and you deserve to feel seen, respected and at ease throughout the experience. Whether you're booking a massage, energy healing or hypnosis session, you can trust that you're entering a space rooted in compassion, respect and care.
Curious About Lava Shells?
They’re one of my favourite tools. These beautiful shells (shaped like giant tiger clams) can be warmed or cooled using natural minerals, and they feel amazing on tired muscles. The contrast between heat and cold can help detox, reduce inflammation, and speed healing. You can choose one or two shells when you book.
💕 Want to Share the Experience?
I also work in a community of amazing therapists and together we can offer couples massages and group bookings for retreats, hens weekends, or even just a special day with friends. We can come to you, set up a peaceful space, and give everyone the chance to experience Lomi Lomi in a beautiful, connected way.
Ready to Reconnect With Yourself?
If your body’s been whispering (or shouting) that it needs a reset, I invite you to try Lomi Lomi massage in Tweed Heads. Whether you’re local or visiting the Gold Coast, it’s an experience that goes far beyond the physical.
Got questions? Nervous about your first time? No worries. Just reach out and I’ll send you all the info you need—what to expect, where to park, what the space looks like—so you feel completely at ease before you arrive.
