WHAT IS LOMILOMI MASSAGE?
LomiLomi, a healing art practiced by the native Hawaiians, was brought to Hawaii by early Polynesians. In the Hawaiian and Samoan language, the word Lomi, means “to knead, to rub, or soothe; to work in and out.”
Traditionally, the Hawaiian LomiLomi massage was practised in four contexts:
- As a healing practice for native healers
- To aid digestion, especially by ruling chiefs
- As a restorative massage within the family
- By Olohe Lua (masters of Hawaiian martial art)
While the basic treatment is the same, many style and technique have developed over time. Nowadays, many massage practitioners practice this beautiful form of healing art around the world. The one we practice is known as Hawaiian Sacred Temple Bodywork: The Lomi Ke Ala Hoku.
The roots of LomiLomi are deeply spiritual. It is a both physical and spiritual form of healing. Performed with energetic, loving waves of touch and intention to help release physical and emotional blockages.

HOW IT WORKS?
Unlike most massages that focus on restoring or maintaining a physical well-being, LomiLomi offers more than just the physical part. Starting with the practitioner and recipient sitting together, the session’s process will be explained. In a quiet, clean, sacred space, bring an awareness to the present moment of what is happening inside the mind and body, explored and share with one another. The idea is to prepare the recipient for the intension and meaning of what LomiLomi can bring to them. To be open, vulnerable and allow the healing to happen.
The sessions are done on a massage table with warm oil in a warmed up room with music and chanting of prayers playing in the background. The recipient will be worked on both front and back of the body, ideally fully unclothed with a towel covered. LomiLomi massage technique uses long flowing forearm strokes, fingers, knuckles, palms and elbows – working on deep tissues with the flow of positive energy and loving hands. Each session is unique as there is no routine when it comes to LomiLomi. Often there will be an exchange of experience shared between practitioner and recipient after the session is done.
