Lomi Lomi Nui or "temple style bodywork", originally practiced by the Ka Hunas (Hawaiian shamans) offers a unique system of massage bringing old Hawaiian traditional healing techniques into the modern world.
It is effective due to it's ability to work gently but deeply on the body using continuous, wave like flowing movements which totally nurture the body enabling it to relax. The movements range from slow gentle ripples to to powerful rapids.
The Lomi Lomi therapist uses various massage oils, forearms, hands and elbows in dynamic deep intuitive movements inspired by the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. In some traditions, hot stones are used to enhance the healing experience of the massage strokes. Gentle stretching and rotation movements are incorporated into the massage to promote relaxation in the joints and increase the flow of energy throughout the body.
