Lomi Lomi Nui
I would like to invite you to this world of respect, love, understanding and acceptance
In an atmospheric sanctuary, encapsulated by moving meditation, accompanied by songs, prayers and rituals you may feel as if immersed in the waves of the sea. This unique fluid Fregata dance, along with the rhythm of the music and the natural rhythm of your breath will increase your energy levels and will lift you into the paradise island.
I will work with your intention, intuitively feeling all that should be released and changed, supporting it with love.
Description
The massage start with a full shawl covering your body. I ll uncover individual body parts while I massage them, and cover them again when I move to the next area. When it is a time for you to turn over, you ll again be completely covered.
You will feel taken care of and safe during all massage session, as your intimate parts of your body will carefully cover with shawl in a special way.
Description
Working with oil, I use hands, elbows, forearms and body weight, which allow to make long flowing strokes integrating movements of circles and figure eights, that go from head to toe in a continuous, rhythmic movement massaging both the top and the underside of the body. These strokes of varying intensity gives the delightful sensation of gentle waves moving over body.
I will massage two different parts of your body at the same time. These movement are designed to confuse the thinking mind and invite you to surrender, letting go of anything that is no longer serving you. I will lead you to a complete relaxation of your body, lessening any tightness of your muscles and reducing the level of stress hormones, increasing your awareness, energy, and power
Massaging breast and chest
I offer the option to include chest and breasts as part of a full body massage for both men and women with your consent or equally, the option of not including this.
For people who are open to this full chest you ll find it helps you breath more easily and supports the easing of any blockages through out the throat and shoulder areas. For the LomiLomi Nui therapist, including this makes it easier to move in long flowing motions starting at the top of your shoulder and going all the way down to your foot. Often underwear makes it difficult to massage two parts of your body at same time and massage may be affected.
The purpose of the Lomi lomi massage is not to stimulate sexual energy, however if it is happen I recommend to take a deep breaths and try to relax. I would, however, end the session immediately if a client initiated specific sexual actions or behavior. I’ve never had to take this step.

History
Lomi lomi nui
Many years ago native Polynesians from Hawaii, following their believes, created a unique and distinctly healing art form which was a way of worshipping the body and healing physical, mental and spiritual part of us by restoring balance and inducing the free flow of energy throughout the body.
Lomi lomi nui goes far beyond massage, it also reflects the connection we have with the land -AINA, the spirit guides and ancestors – AUMAKUA, and the breath of life – ALOHA.
This kind of massage practiced by Kahuna Shamans was reserved for people with a lot of responsibility who faced the difficulty of making important decisions. It was a purification and initiation ceremony as well. Often practiced for hours and days to induce releasing and creative properties. The basis of this spiritual work was the “embodiment of reverence of life, wisdom, knowledge and compassion.” For many years as a part of traditional Native Hawaiian medicine, Lomi lomi nui was only passed down in families through the generation until the early 1970s, when it came to the west.
