What is Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage?
A Tradition of Healing and Connection
Lomi Lomi, meaning “to knead” or “to rub” in Hawaiian, is a traditional massage technique that has been passed down through generations. This ancient healing art was practiced by Hawaiian shamans (kahuna) and has deep spiritual significance. It’s not just about working on muscles; it’s about loving touch, healing energy, and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
At Makai Massage & Bodywork, we honor this tradition by offering authentic Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage in Lahaina, HI. Our therapists are trained in the traditional techniques, using long, flowing strokes that mimic the gentle rhythm of ocean waves. This unique approach helps release stress, tension, and emotional blockages, allowing energy to flow freely throughout the body.
Flowing Movements and Deep Relaxation
Lomi Lomi massage is characterized by its fluid, dance-like movements, performed with the forearms, hands, and elbows. The therapist moves gracefully around the table, using rhythmic motions that feel like continuous, soothing waves. This technique not only relaxes muscles but also stimulates the lymphatic system, improving circulation and enhancing overall well-being.
The experience is deeply nurturing and relaxing, promoting a sense of harmony and balance. As the gentle, flowing movements ease tension, you’ll feel a profound sense of tranquility that resonates long after the session ends.
