For centuries the ancient art of Hawaiian massage has been used as a powerful tool for maintaining a heathy way of life. It not only works on reducing muscular adhesions and fibrotic change from chronic injury, it also cleanses the muscles from toxins that build up as a result of stressful living and the daily strains from playing sports to adapting to a pregnancy.
Lomi lomi practitioners are facilitators for healing, by removing the stress and strains within the body, it then has the capacity to heal itself. The massage works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous flowing strokes, releasing and balancing tension and encouraging a free flow of energy. The practitioner draws upon the vast resources of energy the earth has to offer and sends down into the earth any stagnant or negative energy.
The element of Air is harnessed through the conscious use of breath. Before a massage session the practitioner creates a store of energy (Mana) by using breathing exercises which can be used for healing.

Lomi lomi simply means massage.
It is a unique healing massage derived from master healers of Hawaii.
Their belief is that energy flows around the body and any blocks in flow caused by limitations from illness / tightness / injury and also beliefs/ emotional traumas/ behavioural patterns are stored in cells of the body not just our thoughts, these blocks to the flow of energy can lead to physical tension within the muscles.
During a Lomi Lomi massage the client is encouraged to focus on reconnecting with their body, the goal is "Lokahi" - unity.

The rhythm and focus of Hawaiian massage makes it especially suited to the pregnant woman.
The long connecting strokes envelop the body, nurturing, relaxing and soothing while targeting areas most affected by pregnancy.
During pregnancy the body goes through a series of dramatic changes in a short period of time.
The centre of gravity within the body completely shifts, ligaments become lax, posture and gait alter, all giving rise to tension and tightness in back, pelvic and leg muscles.
During birth the pelvis and sacrum need to be able to open unrestricted by muscle tightness.

As an osteopath, babies and children were regular patients of mine for a wide variety of conditions, and a big part of that work was using soft tissue techniques, so I felt the massage I am offering should also be available for children, in a version suitable as I feel it has great benefits for children too.
As the bones grow the muscles also have to change and grow, this doesn't always happen simultaneously leading to an uncomfortable feeling within the body, the massage helps to relieve these stresses.

I completed a 4 year degree in Osteopathic medicine in 2003 and after several years working as an Osteopath in private practice I resigned from the General Osteopathic Council to begin a family.
