Heartworks Lomi Lomi Treatments

This is a massage or bodywork, but it is most importantly a state of mind. The techniques are not difficult but take years to master. It is sacred and holistic yet practical. It enables the physical and energetic system of the body to flush out toxins, to transform and revitalize themselves, as tissue is gently but firmly loosened, separated and nurtured.

Lomi Lomi can be translated as a method to rub, press, crush, massage, and rub out, to work in and out. In traditional ancient Hawaiian practices, prayer, breathing techniques and cleansing preceded any bodywork, calling upon a higher power for spiritual guidance. Lomi Lomi always encompassed Mind, Body and Spirit.

At first glance Lomi Lomi seems to be a Polynesian version of a ‘classical’ massage. It is circulatory as it moves body fluids (lymph, blood, intestinal). The massage uses rhythmic and flowing movements for soft and deep tissue relaxation.

Heartworks Lomi Lomi delivers you into a space of deep quiet and calm, being a technique for creating a feeling of being trusted and valued, engendering a space for pure joy.

Touch, stillness and breathing all assist in increasing energy and allowing the giver to focus on serenity and care. Two hands on the body at all times, you will feel as if your body is being spoken to and transformed. All of this instils confidence, care and open-heartedness in both the giver and the receiver which are the base-notes for creativeness and healing.
