Lomi Lomi Massage
What is Lomi Lomi Massage?
Lomi Lomi, often referred to as “Hawaiian massage,” is a traditional Polynesian technique that goes beyond mere physical wellness to encompass mental, emotional, and even spiritual well-being. Rooted in the Hawaiian philosophy of ‘Aloha,’ which means love, peace, and compassion, Lomi Lomi is more than just a massage; it’s a ceremony of bodily and spiritual restoration. This unique modality utilizes long, flowing strokes, often performed with the forearms, and rhythmic movements to mimic the ocean’s ebb and flow, thereby promoting deep relaxation and inner peace.
