This morning, as I prepared for a Lomi Lomi session, I took a moment to center myself, setting intentions not just for the touch I’d be offering but for the space I hold—a space safe enough to invite vulnerability. I’ve seen many times the delicate power of allowing vulnerability, and it still humbles me. It is a whisper of invitation to let go, to release, to trust. Yet it requires courage, patience, and a willingness to step into the unknown. Sometimes, it’s more profound than any healing modality. Vulnerability feels like unfamiliar ground for many of us, yet it is through this openness that true healing begins.

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.

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.
