Massage and Bodywork

Aloha

​Exploring and learning Ancient Lomi Lomi through the lineage of Jody Mountain has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my professional career. I first encountered Lomi Lomi about 15 years ago while attending massage school. I remained interested in learning this work, but the opportunity did not arrive until 2022. I believe that people and experiences come into our lives when we are ready to fully receive them, and this has certainly been true of my journey with Lomi Lomi.

What is Lomi Lomi?

Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian healing practice that incorporates rhythm, breath, intention, presence, and flowing touch. Within Hawaiian culture, healing has included interconnected forms of care such as bodywork, plant medicine, prayer, and guidance from trained practitioners and family members.

The Ancient Lomi Lomi tradition I practice comes through the lineage of Abraham Kawai'i and Jody Mountain. This work honors the whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—and approaches each session as a unique experience rather than a fixed sequence of techniques.

Ancient Lomi Lomi is performed through continuous, rhythmic movements that allow the practitioner to work with awareness and responsiveness. The flowing strokes can encourage the nervous system to settle and may help the receiver release physical tension, mental activity, and habitual patterns of holding.

Rather than focusing on fixing a particular problem, Lomi Lomi creates space for the body to soften and for the receiver to become more present. The rhythm and continuity of the work can make it easier to move away from constant thought and connect with physical sensation, breath, and rest.

Clients have described their experiences as creating a sense of “lightness and joy,” or as feeling “wrapped and cradled in a warm blanket while stress and worries slipped away.” Each person experiences the work differently, and every session is unique.

How is Lomi Lomi different?

Lomi Lomi may feel different from other forms of massage because of its emphasis on continuity, rhythm, spaciousness, and full-body movement. The treatment room is warm and quiet, with music selected to support relaxation. Draping is discussed beforehand and remains respectful and discreet throughout the session.

With informed consent, the work may include the glutes, abdomen, chest, or breasts. These areas are never included automatically. Your comfort, boundaries, and sense of safety guide every aspect of the session. Additional draping may be provided upon request.

A generous amount of oil is often used so that long, flowing movements can be performed smoothly across and around the body.

There is no predetermined agenda and no attempt to “fix” the body. Each session offers an opportunity to slow down, let go of unnecessary effort, and experience the body in a more integrated way.

I feel grateful to continue learning and practicing Ancient Lomi Lomi through the lineage of Jody Mountain. My intention is to offer a grounded, respectful, and supportive space in which each person can rest, reconnect, and receive the work in their own way.
