Lomi Lomi is an ancient massage performed by Hawaiians. It has been handed down through Polynesian families for generations. Lomi Lomi has various meanings: 'massage', 'rubbing', 'love through palm' or to break up into small pieces. One of the intentions of Lomi Lomi is to find congested areas of the body and disperse them through rhythmic movements. With Lomi Lomi Massage, massage therapists will discover a wonderful blend of therapeutic strokes that together create the magical touch of the islands, known as “the dance of massage”. It is also known as Kahuna Bodywork where the practitioner uses their hand & forearm moving around the body in a dance.
