We both began our Lomi Lomi journey in 2020 and were transformed through this practice. Our paths crossed in 2023 and within a year our shared dream of living a Life of Aloha had given birth to our school : The Lomi Lomi Nui Hawaiian Healing Arts Academy.
We are committed to sharing this knowledge (which has brought us such abundant joy and filled our lives with happiness), with the world and to inspire others to step onto the path of Aloha Life and Lomi Lomi Practice.
The practice of Lomi Lomi Nui has changed our lives, opened our hearts to unconditional love, empathy and understanding and filled us with respect for other people and their unique stories. This enables us to deal with any adversity life throws at us with ease and grace and to respond to all situations with love.
“Nana i ke kumu” (look to the source)
The source of our knowledge comes from several schools of Hawaiian healing. The teachers we have learned the most from are these: from the lineage of Abraham Kawai’i: Susan Pa’iniu Floyd, Serge Kahili King, Jody Mountain, Marta Maja Gierczynska, Aga Rybak and Magdalena Grabowicz; from the lineage of Halau Uhane: Harry Uhane Jim, Sila Jim and Kaniho Kanehoalani; from the lineage of Margaret Machado: Maka’ala Yates and Jeanne Iwalani Naluai and from the lineage of Halawa: Lawrence Pa’a Nui Aki and Kyrian van Vliet.
For us the foundations are Aloha, unconditional love based on presence, respect and trust; Ohana, our family in the broadest sense as everything that has touched our life and everything that has been touched by us; and Mahalo, heartfelt gratitude for all the good things life has given us.
