What to expect at your Lomi Lomi Massage healing session?
'Heartworks Lomi Lomi Massage, the Ancient Hawaiian Healing Art for body, mind and spirit, with its gentle flowing sequences, is an excellent and beautiful way of opening up the heart and soothing the soul.
This heart opening massage style involves hands and fingers flowing in continuous moves, bringing the client to a state of deep relaxation. Within it is the ability to reduce stress, promote muscle relaxation and improve circulation and thereby stimulate the client on both a physical and an emotional level. In receiving this massage, we allow ourselves to let go of the old and so make room for new and wondrous energy and love.' ~ High Spirit Retreats
Brooke’s Heartworks Lomi Lomi healing sessions weave energy work with the sacred art of ancient Hawaiian practices.
Below I’ve answered the most frequently asked questions for you:
What is the spiritual meaning of Lomi Lomi massage?
The word lomi lomi comes from the Hawaiian and Samoan languages. Lomi means "to knead.” The smooth flow of the strokes mimic the ocean waves. It may also mean "to take and turn, to shift" as in "the sacred shift within you that is inspired by the healing kahuna," spoken twice for emphasis.
Is Lomi Lomi a full body massage?
We usually begin with you face down and work from the head to the feet before having you turn face up and work from the feet back up to the head. Working on feet, legs, back, arms, hands, neck, chest, abdomen & head.
What do you wear for a Lomi Lomi massage?
Lomi Lomi massage ideally is performed on a naked body, which will be respectfully covered with a sarong & towel at all times. Removal of bra, underwear & jewellery is recommended to allow the art of Lomi to flow over the body.
Each therapist will discuss options to ensure comfort before the massage begins. Underwear may be worn, I would encourage dark colour/minimal coverage as a fair amount of oil is used on the body. Therapists will use towels to cover the parts they are not working on. This way, you can feel comfortable during the massage.
Do you use oil & what if i have a nut allergy?
Lomi requires plenty of oil to allow the flowing strokes to glide across the body. I generally use the below oils:
sweet almond oil
coconut oil
jojoba oil
If you have allergies to certain oils, please notify when booking in your massage & I will be able to discuss options with you.
What are the benefits of Lomi Lomi ?
Apart from experiencing deep relaxation {hello floating vibes]

Increased flexibility: This massage includes gentle manipulation of joints and limbs, helping you to increase your range of motion and flexibility
Better circulation: Lomi Lomi is a long massage that targets the deep tissues, ensuring your circulation receives a welcome boost

Calmer and more regulated heart rate: This massage lowers your blood pressure and gives you a greater sense of calm and wellbeing
Balanced emotions and breathing: Unblocks energies and difficult emotions, leaving you feeling more connected to your true inner self
Who can receive Lomi Lomi massage?
Lomi is perfect for everyone. I provide Lomi Lomi to mothers, women, & the families I support. This style of massage is perfect for postpartum mamas, providing nurturing bodywork to tender healing bodies post birth.
I’m currently undergoing further training and will open massage to Pregnant mamas in the near future.
