Our Hawaiian Lomi Massage Therapy Program involves two very traditional Hawaiian healing arts: Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage and Pohaku Wela (Hot Stones Massage Therapy). These two Hawaiian therapies are a must have in any setting!
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage
Lomilomi is based on Hawaiian concepts of working with the body, mind, and spirit. It is hands-on healing that is deep and powerful, yet gentle, giving immediate and long-term results. Lomilomi symbolically means "to communicate energetically, deep within the bones of the individual," thus to the soul of the person.
