Life is inherently dynamic, and change is the only constant. Yet, even when we anticipate or welcome transitions, they can still leave us feeling disoriented and off-kilter. Whether it’s the challenges of new motherhood, a career shift, a relationship transition, the loss of a loved one, the excitement of starting a new job or becoming an expat, these periods of flux can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. It’s during these moments that we crave a sense of grounding and stability, a way to reconnect with ourselves and navigate the unknown with resilience.
The ancient Hawaiian practice of Lomi Lomi can be very helpful during those periods of our life.

Let’s dive deeper into the Temple nature of this ancient practice.
