Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage is a traditional healing art brought to the islands by early Polynesian settlers, evolving over centuries into a unique practice across Hawaii. It was widely practiced by everyone, from children to chiefs, and different “schools” of Lomi Lomi exist with varied techniques and approaches.
The massage involves long, flowing strokes using hands, forearms, and elbows, while the practitioner moves around the table. Treatments combine soft and firm pressure with breath work, creating a deeply relaxing and rhythmic experience.
Due to the extensive use of forearms and elbows, therapists can apply deeper pressure safely while protecting their wrists and joints from strain and injury.
This advanced one-day course is designed for qualified massage therapists wishing to expand their skills and incorporate this distinctive technique into their practice.
