For centuries the ancient art of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage has been used as a powerful tool for maintaining a healthy way of life.

Traditionally Hawaiian Massage combines whole body rhythmic movement with chanting, incorporating deep breathing and application of different types of oils. In preparation for the Lomi Lomi massage, the recipient would undergo a deep cleansing process which included taking herbal preparations, sweats in the steam vents of the volcano and bathing in the mineral enriched ponds of Hawaii.

It is believed that following the cleansing process, Lomi Lomi massage sometimes performed by multiple practitioners working at once, would allow the recipient to receive a vision for recognizing their life's purpose. The nurturing touch allows the receiver to connect and harmonize the mind, body and spirit, restoring balance and health.

Although most people don't have time for such a thorough cleansing today, the Lomi Lomi therapeutic massage is still a powerful tool in itself and can benefit everyone.

While massage is generally thought of as a simple method to relax the mind and body, it has other applications. It is especially good for reducing stress, increasing circulation, and can help speed up recovery from illness. Lomi Lomi Massage cleanses the muscle toxins that build up as a result of stressful living. Receiving a massage regularly can help you to maintain a healthy balanced life in the accelerated pace of today's world.
