Providing Excellent Lomi Lomi Massage Starts with Client Education
Lomi Lomi massage is a traditional Hawaiian massage technique that has been passed down through generations. It is a unique and holistic approach to bodywork that aims to restore harmony and balance to the body, mind, and spirit. Lomi Lomi massage involves long, flowing strokes using the forearms, hands, and elbows, as well as gentle stretches and joint rotations. The therapist uses their intuition and connection with the client to create a deeply relaxing and healing experience. The massage is often accompanied by traditional Hawaiian music and the use of natural oils or lotions. Lomi Lomi massage is known for its ability to release tension, improve circulation, and promote a sense of overall well-being. It is often described as a dance of the hands and a nurturing touch that can leave you feeling rejuvenated and deeply relaxed.
Because Lomi Lomi massage involves such long flowing strokes it is always preformed using either Coconut Oil or Joba Oil or a blend of oils that are similar. Currently I do not offer preference on which oil but I do always use unscented oils for clients. If you have a preference of oil I will be happy to incorporate it during any session you have it readily available. Or bring it with me on your next session.
Disclaimer: During a Lomi Lomi massage, draping is typically minimal. The client is usually asked to undress to their level of comfort and lie on a massage table. A large towel or sheet is used to cover the client's body initially as part of the ceremony of Lomi Lomi, but it is replaced with a much smaller covering to allow the therapist to use long, flowing strokes along their body. The therapist may use their forearms, elbows, and hands to apply pressure and manipulate the muscles. The draping is adjusted accordingly to ensure the client's privacy and comfort throughout the session. If you have never had a Lomi Lomi session it is ideally best to discuss after your first appointment for a standard swedish massage to ensure you are comfortable. I will be workig on adding videos to this site in 2024 to show you more about the style.
