What does it involve?
When receiving this treatment you will lie directly on the vinyl of the couch. All clothing is removed and a sarong is used to cover the body modestly. This allows the body to be massaged using full strokes from head to toe! Unlike Swedish and sports massage there is no routine and different areas of the body are treatment simultaneously. This method of massage ensures that the brain cannot follow the path of treatment and switches off, ensuring deep relaxation for the mind. In the meantime the body is coaxed through loving intention to rebalance and heal itself. No two lomi lomi treatments are the same as each one is based on what the body needs on that particular day.

You may experience the energy flow or have thoughts and insights that help bring clarity to a situation you are concerned about. In order to get the best from your treatment it is essential to relax, enjoy and open yourself to the healing.
