What is Lomi Lomi?

Before having a therapeutic massage, remember to let your practitioner know of any health concerns or pregnancy so the practitioner can adapt the pressure of the strokes to avoid possible risks. It is also better not to eat or drink if you are going to get therapeutic massage.

The purpose of Lomi Lomi  is to do away with both emotional and physical stress. Lomi Lomi begins with a prayer, done by the therapist asking for healing of the individual. This type of massage doesn't really have any unique strokes. No two Lomi Lomi massages will be the same.

The receiver lies face down on a mat with only his or her underwear. The practitioner's hands will be placed in the client's back as they pray for healing. The client can simply relax and clear his or her mind to receive the healing.

The therapist may hum or dance while doing the massage session to unblock, vibrate and amplify the healing energy for both the therapist and the client.

Given that the session is done intuitively, there will be times that the techniques may be slow and incredibly soothing, while there will be times that it will be faster and energetic. The practitioner often massages more than one part of the body or both sides of the body concurrently.

The session can be administered by one therapist or by a couple of practitioners in one treatment. The brain will not be able to focus on two or more areas at once so the mind lets go and a deepersensation of balance and relaxation is achieved.

The Lomi Lomi session brings a sensation of peace of mind and well being, with its effects remaining even after the massage has concluded.
