Hawaiian lomi lomi nui massage
A full-body massage that moves like ocean waves. I practise lomi lomi as a certified practitioner and teach the technique in the Hawaiian tradition.
What is lomi lomi nui?
Lomi lomi nui is a traditional Hawaiian massage. The practitioner works not only with the hands but with the forearms, in long continuous strokes that flow across the whole body at once, from the feet to the shoulders.
In Hawaii, lomi lomi was part of traditional healing culture and a way to restore inner harmony. Today it is above all deep relaxation and healing: the body stops holding on, muscle tension eases and breathing slows down.
I hold international lomi lomi nui certificates. As well as giving sessions, I teach the technique.
What you will feel
- Deep relaxation of the whole body, often close to sleep
- Lighter muscles, especially in the back, neck and legs
- A sense of wholeness: the body feels like one, not a collection of tight spots
- Calm and clarity afterwards, which is why we always have time to talk over tea
