Lomi Lomi Massage in Ede on the Veluwe

You can choose from treatments of 90, 120 or 180 minutes. The more time we have, the deeper I can work on your specific needs. It takes at least 45 minutes for your nervous system to fully relax, so I recommend a longer treatment if you really want to surrender to the full healing effect.

Drink plenty of water and avoid a heavy meal before your treatment. Let me know about any injuries, health conditions or other concerns so I can tailor the massage accordingly.

Absolutely! Lomi lomi combines beautifully with deep tissue, sports massage and even Thai yoga stretches. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll create a bespoke fusion of different bodywork modalities.

Traditionally lomi lomi is given unclothed to allow the best flowing strokes. Your intimate areas are always covered with a towel or sarong. If you prefer to keep your underwear on, that's completely fine. Your comfort always comes first.

If you are pregnant, please let me know before the treatment. Lomi lomi can be adapted for pregnant women using prenatal techniques and adjustments for your comfort and safety.

Lomi lomi is a flowing oil massage with long strokes across the body. Whether a treatment can go ahead depends on the level of contraindication, and there are four of them.

Are you on certain medication, pregnant, or under medical treatment? Check with your doctor first and mention it when you book. For the vast majority of complaints, more is possible than you would think.

This varies from person to person. For optimal recovery I recommend coming regularly, whether that's weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Regular, consistent treatments work better than a single intense treatment.

We start over a cup of tea with a short conversation about your body, your goals and your wishes. Then, with warm coconut oil and gentle touch, I bring you into a state of surrender. With long, dance-like strokes of my forearms, elbows and palms I release tension and restore balance. At the end you take your time to come back gently, feeling held and deeply nourished.

Lomi lomi is ideal if you're looking for deep relaxation and want to fully let go, or if you're experiencing stress, burnout or emotional tension. It's also a lovely choice if you prefer a warm, flowing massage with oil and want to release physical or emotional blockages. Many people also come to sleep better and restore their energy.

Lomi lomi feels soft and flowing, almost like a dance over your body, thanks to the long strokes with warm coconut oil. At the same time I can work deep into the muscles to ease chronic pain and tension. That deeper work can feel intense, but it should never be unbearable. Let me know if you'd like the pressure adjusted, because you're always in control.

I work with natural, organic coconut oil. All the products I use are 100% natural, so you can enjoy a treatment free from synthetic substances. Do you have an allergy or sensitive skin? Let me know before the treatment and I'll take it into account.

Most people feel deeply relaxed, held and nourished afterwards. Lomi lomi helps regulate your nervous system, so you often feel more... yourself. Drink some extra water after the treatment to support the detoxifying effect, and give yourself time to land again before diving back into the busyness of the day.

Yes, lomi lomi works with long, flowing strokes that glide smoothly over your body, and that's exactly what makes this style so special. Your intimate areas are always covered with a towel or sarong, and I work respectfully and professionally throughout. Your comfort and safety always come first, so let me know if you'd prefer anything done differently.
