I have been practicing martial arts since I was sixteen years old. It only crossed my mind when I was in my
early forties that the most skillful teachers were involved in some system of healing such as Shiatsu, Amatsu, Kuatsu or
Accupuncture. One of them even uses a stick to heal. I wanted to learn some of their skills and one of my teachers
insisted I learn some form of massage as a introduction and a basic grounding. I never liked to do things the easy way
so I enrolled in an I.T.E.C. diploma course in Anatomy & Physiology and Holistic Massage. After about a years
practice I supplemented this with a course in Indian Head Massage.
My introduction to Lomi Lomi came about quite by accident. I am the type of person who likes to keep learning so I read the
newsletters issued by Walmer House. There was an advertisement in it for a two day introductory workshop in Lomi Lomi Hawaiian massage.
I had nothing planned for the weekend and out of boredom I booked myself in and off I went.
I was a little underwhelmed with the initial explanation, history and philosophy of Lomi Lomi. I decided to wait for the
demonstration and then politely go. As soon as Louise began the demonstration I had one of those rare moments where lots of seemingly
disparate events of my life clicked and suddenly made sense. Life had sucker punched me. The amazement and childlike wonder I felt watching her beautiful powerful movement and skill is indescribable. It was stunningly effective and efficient. I was never more certain at that moment that I wanted to learn how to do this. It was like coming home.
