Lomi Massage
HEALING. HARMONY. RESTORE

​

Lomi massage, an indigenous Hawaiian healing practice, involves rhythmic, flowing motions to soothe and restore balance, inspired by the waves of the ocean. Traditionally practiced by Hawaiian shamans, it incorporates principles such as:

​

• IKE: The world is what you think it is.

• KALA: There are no limits.

• MAKIA: Energy flows where attention goes.

• MANAWA: Now is the moment of power.

• ALOHA: To love is to be happy.

• MANA: All power comes from within.

• PONO: Effectiveness is the measure of truth.

​

Lomi massage evolved from Polynesian massage traditions and varies by region and family. Therapists use palms, forearms, fingers, knuckles, elbows, and sometimes knees and feet, creating a sensation like gentle waves moving over the body. Unlike typical massages, Lomi treats the entire body at once, using long, continuous strokes from head to toe, encouraging deep relaxation and a sense of harmony.
