Philosophy
The core belief of the Huna is that everything seeks harmony and everything seeks love. This is then related to the Lomi Lomi massage. How? Well, this can best be understood by one of the alternate names for Lomi Lomi, and that is “Loving Hands” massage. This is because in a Lomi Lomi massage, the practitioner works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and, enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be.
Therefore, as techniques is an important part of the massage and associated healing, much of the work is done by love, with the focus of the practitioner on the client being deep and complete, using loving hands and a loving heart. This makes Lomi Lomi massages a technique, which brings out physical as well as mental relaxation.
Our mind and the body are invariably interlinked and mutually interdependent. Good health depends on having both aspects in a harmonious balance. Lomi Lomi massages seeks to rid the body of physical and mental stresses, and free up the energy flow, and is done with a combination of prayers, breathing techniques and intuitive massage strokes.
Lomi Lomi Philosophy & Traditions
An important aspect of Lomi Lomi is allowing the individual being massaged to relax and open themselves to healing. This healing is based in not only the physical manifestations of pain but also the mental and spiritual pains that root deeply into our memories and physical bodies

WHAT IS LOMI LOMI?
Lomi lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage that uses a combination of massage techniques, oils, and sometimes elements of prayer, breathing and dance to restore energy and soothe the body. It is also known as the 'loving hands' massage. This name helps to explain its principles - the massage works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, allowing the recipient to relax and give in to the nurturing touch. Lomi Lomi works from the belief that memories are not just stored in the brain and mind, but also in every cell of the human body. The long, continuous strokes of the massage are designed to help the body let go of its old patterns and behaviors, which can cause as many stresses and strains as muscle tension. Before you go the nature of Lomi Lomi means that you probably won't be able to wear very much, so check with the spa about what you can bring. Bikini bottoms are usually OK - or the spa might even provide disposable paper pants - not a fashion item. It's worth remembering that the oils used in massage are not kind to hair or make-up, so you might not want to return to work straight after your treatment. But that's fine - if you clear your diary for the afternoon, you'll be able to spend longer in post-Lomi Lomi heaven. Avoid eating heavy meals or drinking alcohol in the hours leading up to your massage What to expect from a Lomi Lomi massage Traditionally, Lomi Lomi massage is performed with the recipient lying on a hand-woven mat on the floor. However, you may find yourself on a conventional massage table, or lying directly on the vinyl of it. Instead of being covered with towels, you might just have one towel or a small sheet to preserve your modesty. These steps are taken to avoid interrupting the continuous flow of the massage. The Lomi Lomi healing practice usually begins with a period of stillness between therapist and recipient, sometimes with the therapist's hands resting lightly on the recipient's back. During this moment of stillness, a traditional Lomi Lomi practitioner would say a blessing or prayer, asking for whatever healing is needed. The therapist will work intuitively with your body, with fluid, rhythmic strokes to release and shift tensions. There is no set format for the massage itself, so no two massages are the same. The treatment may be slow and relaxing or faster and more invigorating, depending on how your body responds.
WHAT IS SHI-TU?
A MIXTURE OF ALL MY STUDIES IN BODY WORK with the focus of Shiatsu Massage. THE SESSION IS ON THE GROUND WITH A MATTRESS GROUNDED TO THE FLOOR. MASSAGE HAPPENS IN CLOTHES. Shiatsu is a form of massage that utilizes the hands, thumb, or other body parts, to apply direct pressure on various points or channels in the body. It is performed through loose clothing and does not use oils. Massage is a practice that has been present for thousands of years. When should you not do shiatsu massage?

When is Massage NOT ALLOWED?
Massage Therapy performed by a well-trained massage therapist can benefit our bodies in a lot of ways . But, there are instances where massage CANNOT be performed at all at any part of the body. The reason the patient cannot get a massage is for the patients’ own safety and in some cases (eg. if the patient has an infectious disease – for the safety of the massage therapist and other patients). Patients must be referred to a physician/ medical doctor instead.
When Not to Get a Massage:

After about six months, the risk of the occurrence of another stroke becomes lower.
