2. How does Lomi-Lomi massage differ from other forms of massage?
The unique, fluid rhythmic motion of Lomi-Lomi massage sets it apart. During the massage different areas of the body are often worked at the same time, for example the back may be being massaged at the same time as the leg. The underside of the body is massaged with long rolling glides of the hand and forearms helping mobilise and loosen up stiff joints. Joint stretches and passive movements can be included as well...or the focus can just be on long fluid, rolling strokes to calm the mind and settle the spirit.
There is no set sequence to the hands on part of Lomi-Lomi massage & no two massages are quite the same.

4. "I’ve never had a Lomi-Lomi massage before what can I expect ?”
At the first appointment a consultation is undertaken. Lomi-Lomi begins with helping you make yourself comfortable face down on the couch. A sarong is used to cover your body. Relaxing essential oil is inhaled with three deep breath’s to calm the nervous system and open the airway a prayer is offered silently inwardly on your behalf for your well-being and happiness.
Your feet are washed and wrapped with hot towels. From here the sarong cover is rolled from either side into the centre of the body to cover the genital area … warm massage oil is gently applied to the whole body using hands and forearms. From here the active part of the massage commences ...beginning with a wonderful fluid wave like combination of sweeping and rolling, hand and forearm strokes that resemble ocean waves the therapist works their way around you moving continuously over and under the whole body working and releasing areas of tension as they are felt. Gentle joint stretches and mobilisations can be included as your prefer. Both the front and back of the body are massaged...head massage can be included as well. A towel cover is used for ladies for the chest area when face up.
In the second half of the massage you are face up. At the end you are covered with a warm blanket and invited to rest for a few more minutes listening to peaceful music as you integrate the experience.
