[hippy-chick]

having read a couple of threads about this intriguing therapy, I have decided to take the first step and do a one day taster in it. This could lead to practioner level if it bowls me over (8 intensive days for the practioner level).

So, its coming to Durham soon, and think theirs 6 places left in anyone is interested. PM me for details.

Hawaiian massage is just Fab, in a way it kinds of wrap all other massage and make it one. i had people saying that it is similar to thai, shiatsu, accupressure, you find sport in it, sweedish, lumph drainage, it is just amazing.
There is lots of style of Lomi Lomi ( the most common in Europe is temple style -huna lomi) and I have learned the mana lomi style.
the whole massage take 2 hours ( i use exotic organic oil from island of Maui) to do, but i give people the option of one hour and 90min. the massage uses mainly forearms and thick pad of your hand, lots of streches ( you feel tall after!:lol. it can be very gentle or as powerful as you want (full body weight used). you can add hot stone ( lomi ili ili) or scrubs, hot towels to enhance the treatment.
I also do the remedial side of lomi lomi, which is quite similar to osteopathy, excellent for relieving tension headaches, back problem, carpal tunel, frozen shoulder, sciatica.... i have to stop here otherwise i will go on and on about lomi lomi.

Sounds fabaroony to me, I would love to do something like this, but as I dont do comp therapies anymore, I think it would be a waste for me to travel and pay out for the course!! It does sound cool though, being able to offer 'Kahuna Bodywork'!!! I love it!!

Lomi Lomi massage is fantastic, it is my favorite!!!!!!!! i love it, it just seem that it kind of wrap all the massage techniques in one! there is lots of style and the one best known is "temple style Lomi".
i had the privilege to go and train in Hawaii ( big island and Maui), i did in total 5 weeks of intensive training(6days a week 9-6p.m!!!!!!!!).
if any one can, really do the training as it will enhance even your actual massage!
Too bad Hippy-chick that you are so far, we could have exchange treatment!:irked:
