Recently, I received multiple messages from people asking for a “quick one-hour Lomi session.” This made me reflect on how different forms of bodywork serve different intentions—and how important it is to share the essence of my offering.
I have facilitated Lomi Lomi workshops since 2018, guiding people on their transformative paths and supporting them as they discover and master this profound Hawaiian healing art. Over the past six years, my workshops have brought together participants with diverse backgrounds and intentions. Each of these trainings combined with retreats has been a beautiful and fulfilling experience. However, I came to realise that, to offer the most meaningful and impactful journey, I needed to shift my focus from group settings to individualised ones—designed specifically for one person or sometimes a couple.

That’s when Lomi Lomi can be incredibly supportive. This healing practice, deeply rooted in indigenous Hawaiian tradition, isn’t just another massage; it’s a spiritual experience that helps you reconnect with your essence and feel whole again.

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.

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.

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.
