What is Lomi Lomi Massage?
Lomi Lomi massage, also known as “Hawaiian massage,” has its roots in ancient Hawaiian healing traditions. The term “Lomi” means “to knead” or “to soothe,” reflecting the gentle yet powerful techniques used in this massage. Lomi Lomi massage is characterized by its flowing strokes, often performed with the forearms and hands, creating a rhythmic and soothing experience.

- Long, Flowing Strokes: The therapist uses long, gliding movements that resemble ocean waves, promoting relaxation and calming the nervous system.
- Forearm Techniques: Lomi Lomi often incorporates the use of the forearms, allowing for deeper pressure and a more extensive range of motion.
- Breath Synchronization: The therapist may encourage clients to synchronize their breath with the movements, enhancing the overall sense of relaxation and connection.
