Time for another update. If you would like to see the complete article please go here
What to Expect during Lomi Lomi Massage
For the past 3 or so years this original blog post, linked above, held the top position in Google. It made sense because the article was written based on years of training and immersion into Lomi, Hawaiian wisdom & culture and what sets this treatment apart. Recently, due to changes in the algorithm I am assuming, other articles are popping up. from AI, generic websites, and from sites that have no understanding beyond lazy copying and pasting of things here and there. This regurgitation of misinformation is disappointing.
If you are truly interested in what a Lomi Lomi Massage is like, spend some time reading this site.
The Blog has informative articles,
The Site itself has in depth explanations,
The Testimonials give you a sense of what Lomi feel like from the perspective of the receiver
.
And lastly, if you still have questions, you may send me an email, set up a zoom call or a phone call.
I teach this work nationally and internationally on a selective basis. I travel all over the country and in fact the world at the request of clients who bring me to them, and I am happy to help you learn about this remarkable healing experience.
Further Reading
There is very little information of value, which is still in print, but if you would like to do further reading, I can recommend:
Na Mo’olelo Lomi Lomi
Makana Risser Chai has written a wonderful reference manual for topics within Lomi Lomi. She lives in Oahu and was also a student of Auntie Margaret Machado.
The book is a compilation of interviews and writings from Hawaiian elders collected by the Bishop Museum archives. You will find topics related to traditional healing practices like Lomi Lomi Hawaiian bodywork and La’au Lapa’au, Hawaiian plant medicine, Ho’oponopono and teachings about our Hawaiian spiritual values. The best book I know on the topic.
