Lomi Lomi Massage Therapy

‘Lomi lomi’ translates to ‘rub rub’ in Hawaiian, and reflects the broad, flowing strokes made with the therapist’s fingers, thumbs, palms, arms and elbows.

Macadamia, palm and coconut oils are usually used as moisturisers in Lomi Lomi massage, to keep the strokes smooth and to nourish the skin. Many believe that the healing art of Lomi Lomi was brought to Hawaii by the earliest Polynesian settlers, while others believe that it is deeply infused with the practice of ‘living aloha’ – a carry-over from ancient Hawaii and the mystical land of Mu. The Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage can also be referred to as Kahuna bodywork.
