Through the practice and transformative touch she found the love in herself, and moreover the desire to share love, compassion, attentiveness and acceptance to encourage others to discover and explore their power, potential, and through observation of nature to draw on its resources to support their own development.
Filled with gratitude for what she had learned, received, and experienced, she has dedicated the rest of her life to sharing the ancient Hawaiian knowledge with others through teaching.

About Lomi Lomi Nui bodywork

Description

Lomi Lomi is an ancient Hawaiian restorative healing art, and goes far beyond massage. The basis of its work is embodiment of reverence for life, wisdom, knowledge and compassion and it is based on unconditional loving touch. Lomi has been passed through generations by Masters in bodywork – Kahunas who support the wellbeing of their families and communities.
The Lomi Lomi Nui bodywork involves massage using blend of warm oil, taking place in a safe, warm environment with vibrational accompaniament of music assisted by dance and prayer. The practitioner uses hands, elbows and forearms to apply long flowing, strokes that go from head to toe, massaging both the top and the underside of the body . These strokes of varying intensity give the delightful sensation of gentle waves moving over body, transporting the receiver to the highest dimension of self. The Lomi is experienced as meaningful, profound and spiritual.
