Lomilomi

Lomilomi is a traditional Hawaiian concept of working with the body’s life force (mana).  In lomilomi,  principle of “loving touch” is incorporated and essential for healing to take place.  A sense of trust from the client allows for a deeper state of relaxation  and facilitates the release of emotional, mental and physical tension.  The technique involves moving from a broad to specific contact using the forearms and palms and transitioning to elbows and thumbs.  A light to deep 1,2,3 rhythm is used while the therapist increases her pressure by sinking down with her body weight.  Lomilomi is great for whole body relaxation but also is able to address specific muscular problems that you may be experiencing.
