Lomi Lomi massage

When you book a Lomi Lomi Massage, you can choose from 90, 120, 150 and even 180 minute sessions.

The more time we have, the deeper I can work on your specific concerns and the more benefits you can receive.

It takes at least 45 minutes for your nervous system to relax, so I do recommend booking a longer session if you want to surrender and receive the maximum healing benefits possible.

My value-driven pricing means that the longer you book, the more affordable your treatment becomes per minute, making it easier to prioritize your self-care and wellbeing.

Before your Lomi Lomi massage session, drink plenty of water and avoid eating a heavy meal. Let me know of any injuries, health concerns, or other issues you have so that I can adjust the massage accordingly.

Yes, Lomi Lomi massage can be combined with other massage techniques, such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage or sports massage and I can even blend in some stretches from Dynamic Thai Yoga massage. I always love to create a personalized treatment that meets your needs and goals. Let me know what you are looking for from your massage session, and I will work with you to create a tailormade fusion of different bodywork modalities.

Traditionally, the receiver of a Lomi Lomi massage is fully undressed, with a towel or sarong between their legs that covers the genitals and gluteal cleft. The belly and chest are usually exposed. This is because a Lomi Lomi massage involves massaging the whole body all at once with long, oily strokes.

(Just to make it extra clear: genitals will never be massaged and will be covered by a towel or sarong at all times).

However, I can, of course, accommodate your personal preferences. For example, if you prefer for the belly or chest (or any other sensitive area) to be excluded, or if you would prefer to wear underwear during the treatment. Please just let me know.

I only work with natural products, and coconut oil can be washed out at 40C. If you do choose to wear underwear during a treatment, I recommend you wear something old, or I can provide single-use underwear.

If you are pregnant or have certain medical conditions, it is important to inform me before your Lomi Lomi massage session. Lomi Lomi massage can be modified for pregnant women or those with certain medical conditions, including prenatal massage techniques and modifications to ensure your comfort and safety during the session.

There are some medical conditions that might make Lomi Lomi massage unsafe.

A partial list of contraindications is: fever, vascular conditions, severe heart disease, contagious skin conditions, inflammation, abrasions, cuts, hematomas, cancer, neuritis, recent surgery, infectious diseases, diabetes with vascular dysfunction, fractures, and acute injury.

There are too many possible conditions to list here so it is your responsibility to alert me to any medical condition or injury before a massage begins. You can read more about contraindications here.

If you have any health concerns, it's important to talk to your doctor before getting a massage

Honestly, its hard to say.

Every person is unique and every condition is unique to each person.

It may take one session to work on a condition, or it may take several.

You and I will be able to talk more specifically about this after your first session and I’ve had a chance to evaluate your body's tissues and condition.

Individual preference varies, so for most it depends on your pain, physical needs, emotional needs, and of course, budget.

Receiving a massage regularly has the most benefit; this can be as often as weekly, monthly or with the change of the season. If you are just looking for some occasional relaxation, then a session every 3-6 weeks may be fine for you.

However, if you are looking to address a specific condition, then it is recommended to go more frequently at first and then slowly taper down to a maintenance schedule.

Keep in mind that you may require multiple sessions to experience relief. Some people benefit from a massage treatment once per month, while others require weekly treatment to see improvement.

It’s important to be realistic about what one massage treatment can achieve. Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. But the science behind massage therapy highlights the importance of gradual, consistent treatments rather than relying on high pressure in a single session to address muscle tension and knots effectively.

The great news is that I offer package deals where you can save up to 15% per session.

Overal i'd like you to also practice selfcare in the form of yoga or streches or some homework that i might give you, because consistency is the key in recovery.
