Imagine being carried by warm ocean waves, surrounded by warmth and movement, with nowhere you need to go. Just let yourself be taken care of.
Through long, flowing movements, warm oil and nourishing touch, the massage invites you to slow down, listen to your body and let go of the tension you carry in your body and mind.
For some people, it is deeply relaxing. For others, sensations, emotions or memories may naturally arise. There is nothing you need to achieve or release. We make a safe space for whatever is present.
What is Lomi Lomi Nui?
Lomi Lomi Nui is a traditional Hawaiian temple massage using long, flowing movements with the hands and forearms. It is like being carried by warm waves or being touched by the paws of a contented cat.
Are you melting already?
In my practice, I approach Lomi Lomi Nui as a deeply present form of bodywork, while respecting the ceremonial roots of this massage. The continuous rhythm can help you slow down, become more aware of your body and reconnect with yourself.
The whole body is included, while intimate areas remain covered. Pressure can range from gentle to deeper, always adapting to what feels comfortable for you.
Lomi Lomi Nui and Somatic Experiencing
My approach to Lomi Lomi Nui is influenced by my work with Somatic Experiencing.
Both invite us to slow down and notice what is happening in the body rather than trying to force change. Safe and present touch invites your nervous system to relax.
During the massage, you may become aware of areas that feel tense, numb, relaxed, warm or alive. You may notice changes in your breathing, emotions or memories arising, or simply a greater sense of space in your body.
Touch is always respectful, non-sexual and guided by your consent and boundaries. If something does not feel right, we can slow down, change the pace and pressure, pause or stop.
What will you experience?
Every session is different and adapted to what your body and mind need.
After the massage you may notice:
-
physical relaxation and a sense of spaciousness
-
greater awareness of your body
-
a calmer mind and deeper breathing
-
a stronger sense of grounding
-
emotions becoming more accessible
-
a feeling of being nourished and cared for
Lomi Lomi Nui is not about forcing a particular outcome. It is an invitation to slow down, receive and reconnect with yourself.
