If you are yet to experience a Lomi Lomi Massage allow us to introduce you to what you have been missing out on.

The magic of Lomi Lomi penetrates more than the physical body.  Although it’s literal meaning in Hawaii (from where it originates) is to push, pull and knead, it’s grace and flowing strokes combined with the intent of Aloha (unconditional universal love) thrown in with some Hawaiian magic allows true surrender, balance, healing and transformation to take place.   The benefits are not only for the physical body, but the emotional, mental and heart space too.

‘What is the difference between Lomi Lomi and normal massage?  I hear you ask

(we assume normal to mean remedial, Swedish and sports)

Like other massages it is done with oil and is on a table.  However, the difference begins with firstly the connection made between practitioner and client.  The practitioner opens him/herself up to universal energy/love and tunes into the client’s body, energy and emotional needs.  This creates a safe environment which the client immediately  picks up on and letting go commences. With Lomi Lomi  the practitioner works with their hands as the instrument of their heart. …so we massage with an open heart.

Most of the client’s body is exposed, yet a sarong is used to maintain modesty.  This allows for uninterrupted long flowing strokes in a continuous dance like motion over the entire body.

The breath is used to maintain focus and energy flow.  Gradually the practitioner unpeels layers of stored  tension and  emotional  memory through these flowing movements.  This enables any blockages to be free and for Mana (life force ) to vibrate throughout our entire being.  As a side effect of all this the heart surrenders, opens up and a feeling of connection to everyone and everything is often experienced.

The other secret behind this bodywork is that the whole body is massaged.  It is a holistic treatment; meaning if you only massage the neck the energy will move to the shoulders and so on.  In other words the back, front, face, arms and feet all receive healing. (this is explained to the client before getting on the table)

This works in with the idea that the nervous, venous and respiratory systems are all being balanced through lymphatic drainage and toxin release, helping restore and unblock the body back into it’s natural state …..BLISS.

Lomi Lomi originated in Hawaii where family’s used to routinely massage each other to preserve good health, strong body and balance of body/mind and spirit.  Through receiving regular Lomi Lomi one was able to remain connected to  spirit (Mana) and open heartedness (Aloha).  The harmony between all the energies kept strong constitution and prevented dis-ease. This is in stark contrast to our western society today where some parents don’t tend to touch their children in healing /sensual and loving ways. Indeed touch has in many ways become taboo.  Our experience has shown that many people drawn to learn Lomi Lomi do so specifically to massage and heal their family and extended loved ones.

In the past 10 years  this ancient healing modality has reached  many shores outside of Polynesia and  is respected  by those that teach and practice as a sacred gift.

Therapists are drawn to the sensual /loving and therapeutic aspects of this work as it enables a deeper  sacred bond with the client allowing  for mutual trust and then an authentic mind, body and spirit healing can occur.  This sacred bond allows the massage therapist to feel what the client is feeling ,making the difference between a relaxing treatment and a transformational one – with long lasting results.  It puts you in touch on a deep kinesthetic level and lets you communicate with the body restoring what needs to be restored and releasing what needs to be released.  Acting as a conduit for Mana the therapist can undertake this work for many hours if necessary , their focus ,breath,  presence and flow keeping them energized and effective.  Working with the BREATH as a tool sets Lomi Lomi apart from other bodywork modalities as with it comes life force.

During our daily routine we get stressed, muscles tighten; emotions and situations cause us to shut down and close up. We lose touch with our bodies and our sense of who we are…

The Divine Love energy in every massage that I incorporate will help you go deeper still into relaxation and experience a sense of total bliss and complete tranquility. Like a Lotus Blossom opening to the warm loving sun.

This session will allow you the space to release all stress and open to the loving feelings of connection and wholeness within yourself. I believe that when your mind, body and spirit are completely relaxed it helps you to remember who you truly are on every level and that makes for a happier life and a more fulfilled you.

Testimonials:

“As a therapist myself, I adore any massage I can get. But this treatment was something on a whole new level, a totally unique and quite mind blowing experience. She seamlessly combines a whole range of physical body work massage strokes with energetic healing, working on many different levels. This is not what she told me – it’s what I FELT. It was beautiful and empowering and I felt as though she was pouring love into my whole being, weaving my body and spirit back together. She included my whole body in this massage. Afterwards I felt loved, relaxed, recharged and frankly excited by what she is doing. This is the massage of the future – energy work that is firmly grounded in/connected to the physical body.”

“I had arrived in an emotional and rather tense state dreading the unknown consequences of a big decision in my life that seemingly would put me in a position of “being completely on my own”.

Joanna’s approach was gentle, yet very powerful. Her touch heartfelt and mindful. The physical tension in my neck and head region, that I had felt at the beginning of the session, subsided almost instantly and my mind calmed. At first I felt my fears and sadness intensified which was obviously part of the release. After a while I eased into deep relaxation, floating in a trancelike state, feeling energy moving and shifting in and around my body. Feelings of gratitude welled up in me for all the love and support that I have been and am receiving from family, friends and earth-angels like Joanna. The presence, support and guidance from beings that were called in previously became very tangible as well.

I left with a renewed sense of strength, confidence and trust. Most importantly knowing that I am never alone.”

Testimonials:

Thank you so much for the Body Spirit Integration Session.  There are no real words to describe how amazing my experience was. I had been feeling foggy and cloudy for awhile and had trouble shifting it.  During the session it shifted and has not returned at all.   I felt very empowered, completely relaxed and like a Goddess, all rolled into one. These feelings have continued to stay with me. I have also had lots more motivation since the session.

During the session, Joanna helped me relax & I felt a deeper connection to my body & inner Self. I enjoyed being able to just receive & allow her loving hands do their Magic… She was highly intuitive & she talked me through what was happening, especially at moments when there were shifts in my energy. She helped me release & let go of old energies & I felt the healing worked at very deep & subtle levels. At the end of the session I felt totally relaxed & my energy was much clearer than before. I also felt inner clarity, harmony & balance, as well as much more trust & confidence in my abilities to face my new life situation. In the few weeks after the session, I definitely felt that the intentions we had set were still at work in my life, gently guiding me along my path… I’m very grateful to Joanna for the beautiful work she does & I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone.

My session with Joanna was a beautiful mélange of body work and energy work; the body as well as the spirit were addressed which made complete sense to me: as human beings we are both, body and spirit, and neither should be neglected. The physical aspect of grounding is very much needed in a world of increasing flux and change.
