Lomi Lomi

Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian healing massage that blends ritual, intention, and flowing movement. Sometimes called the “loving hands massage,” it emphasizes spiritual connection, compassion, and rhythm, making it both deeply physical and profoundly emotional or energetic.

Lomi Lomi is both a bodywork technique and a philosophy—rooted in the Hawaiian concept of Aloha (love, compassion, and breath of life)

Key Features

Flowing Strokes: Practitioners use long, continuous, dance-like strokes with hands, forearms, and elbows—often moving across the whole body in wave-like motions.

Full-Body Integration: Movements often connect distant areas of the body in one fluid motion, creating a sense of unity and wholeness.

Sacred Space: Sessions are often treated as ceremonial, with breathwork, intention setting, prayer (pule), or Hawaiian music included.

Oil-Based: Uses generous amounts of oil to facilitate long, gliding strokes across large areas of the body.

Minimal Draping: Traditional Lomi Lomi uses minimal or strategic draping to allow continuous movement, though this is adapted for comfort and modesty in modern practice
