Lomi Lomi Huna Hawaiian

Service Description

One popular variation of Polynesian massage is the Lomi Lomi massage, also known as "loving hands" massage. This technique incorporates not only physical manipulation but also a holistic approach, aiming to balance the body, mind, and spirit. Lomi Lomi massage often utilizes long, sweeping motions that mimic the waves of the ocean, creating a sense of deep relaxation and harmony. '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. It's worth noting that different Polynesian islands may have specific variations or techniques within their massages. Overall, however, Polynesian massages are known for their deeply relaxing nature and their ability to promote a sense of balance and well-being.
