Aloha Friends!

Just a reminder that our very first course for 2008 is our Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Foundation Course.

If you have not yet trained in this beautiful hawaiian bodywork or even experienced a lomi lomi treatment for yourself, you are really missing out on something special.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi (at least the style we teach) has been described as a massage that contains all massage styles within it, performed in one beautiful never-ending ‘flow’.

It is this flow that gently, yet steadily encourages the lomi lomi recipient to truly ‘let go’ and deeply relax…and relaxation afterall is the primary goal of all massage.

Why is relaxation so important? Well, where there is relaxation, there is no tension and the Hawaiians believe that all illness stems from a state of tension on one level or another.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi like the waves of the ocean washes away this tension, layer by layer, breath by breath. Although there is the common perception that lomi lomi is just a soft, gentle massage, in truth it can be as strong and deep as it can be soothing and gentle. It is truly a style of massage that is for every body!

For the practitioner too, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi is healing to give and does not require physical strength, nor pressure on the hands and fingers. All movements stem from the core of the body and every movement serves only to strengthen and empower the practitioner’s body, mind and spirit.

Before practicing Hot Stone Massage and Spa Body Treatments, Tania and myself had built up a large clientele and all we offered was Lomi Lomi.

There was no need for any other massage modality and our clients didn’t want anything else. That in itself should give you some insight into how truly amazing (and how popular) Hawaiian Lomi Lomi is.

In fact, at one point in our careers, Tania and I walked into a NSW Tafe with the intention of learning about Swedish massage. The Tafe recognized our prior learning and experience, gave us a short video to watch, explaining the Swedish massage techniques and we then jumped straight into a practical test.

About an hour later we walked out with Certificates in Swedish Massage…with Distinctions!

All we did to achieve this was apply the Swedish techniques with the ‘flow’ and ‘connection’ of the Lomi Lomi and the teacher (Head of Massage) was really impressed!

Tania later was invited back to the TAFE to run a 6 week introductory workshop in Lomi Lomi, which was very successful and several of those students have since gone to complete further training with us.

If you too would like to learn a truly amazing, powerful, inspiring form of massage that your clients will totally love, we would love to have you join us on our intensive Lomi Lomi Foundation Course here in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

P.S - In case you haven’t watched it already, here’s a short video presentation that gives you an insight into our Lomi Lomi courses and what our graduate’s are saying…

P.P.S - Here’s another photo of little Jaden Kalani. He’s doing beautifully, putting on weight everyday and is just so peaceful. Our hearts are so full right now. You’ll get to meet him and have a cuddle (or two or three) on the courses!
