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.

In the cacophony of our modern world, amidst the relentless chatter of social media and the clamour for attention, there seems to be an imbalance and a growing gap between self-expression and the willingness and ability to listen. Have you noticed that too? Our digital age celebrates and promotes the freedom to speak, post, and proclaim our thoughts to the world through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. It is liberating and encourages creativity, yet, in the process, it seems we are gradually losing the ability to truly listen. We find ourselves in a world where the art of listening is quietly slipping into the background, drowned out by the constant noise of self-promotion and the desire to be heard.

A few years ago, just before the onset of the COVID-related chaos, I embarked on a journey to North Island. It was a sunny, windswept day when, during a visit to Karekare Beach, a Maori stranger approached me and said: ‘Welcome home! Did you know that your ancestors trod this very land, eons ago? And now, you have returned.’ These words resonated deeply within me, and from that moment, I began to listen more intently. Allow me to provide some context: Three years prior, upon first setting foot in Aotearoa with my partner Rafal, I felt a deep need for a welcoming ceremony, a connection to this land and its people. That day, I felt it happened.

The essence of the Lomi Lomi I practice and teach is a dance of unity and interconnection between physicality, emotion, and spirit that transcends the boundaries of touch and technique. It’s also a journey where the map of the body leads to the depths of the soul. Within this journey interplay two dimensions of navigation: the outer and the inner one. They both intertwine and complement each other to allow this profound journey toward transformation and healing can happen.
