Aloha Friends: I am just back from some beautiful and lovely days in Hawaii and am so inspired and revitalized.  It is here that I decided to create 2 wonderful new offerings/treatments.  This first, Ancient Lomi Journey represents the culmination o all of me Healing Lomi work to date.  It is how Lomi should be expereienced, unrushed, unplanned with ample time before and after to "talk story" and help process and embed the experience.  I have allotted 2.5 to 3 hours as an estimate. It is not all table time but it is ll part of the experience. I hope you consider to undertake this Ke Ala Hoku (Pathway to the Stars) with me  

Ancient Lomi Lomi Journey
This healing work, from Hawai'i is the embodiment of self care and the love of Aloha.  Ancient Lomi Lomi is a flowing, magical  treatment which facilitates a lifting and release of emotional and conceptual reality layers, allowing a deeper inner awareness to arise.  Limiting beliefs, thoughts and emotions - manifested in patterns of physical holding - are shaken loose by the deeper movement of wholeness emerging.  These impactful energies are released in to the sphere of acceptance allowing one to feel and begin to respond to life from a place of more freedom and balance.  We are reconnected to our own essence and thereby awakened to the positive energy of all that surrounds us.  Every Lomi journey is different; how it unfolds is unique to each person, and different each time it is experienced.  The ancient lineage, energetic  touch, breath, movement, music and the core intention of Aloha combine to deliver a fluid and truly unforgettable body, or "out of body" experience of profound relaxation, calm, inner peace and joy, resulting in a renewed mind-body balance. 

Sessions are 2.5 to 3 hours in length and include time to discuss your goals and objectives prior, ritual pi kai, pule, and time to "talk story" or process and discuss your experience after.












The second treatment is called Subtle Body Journey. Again, for those who have experienced my work, this is really an extension and variation of my Swedish massage treatment - with more of an intention and a connection to invite you to "discover" your own body through touch.  This work helps to create and strengthen your own mind/body connection.


Subtle Body Journey - Holistic Kauhuna Bodywork Embark on a slow, methodical exploration of the subtle structures of your body.  Get in touch with your diaphragm, belly, jaw, neck, limbs, feet, hands and head through gentle holds, relaxed stretches, slow breathing and gliding touch. This work can be customized to your individual needs, goals and/or chief concerns.



I invite you to come and try both of these wonderful one of a kind touch experiences for yourself.

Ke Ala Hoku – Pathway to the Stars

If you're new to whole body healing, I would like to invite you to consider experiencing this journey for yourself.  

All styles of Lomi  massage integrate some form of movement, chant (mele), prayers (pule) as well as the core intention of aloha.

Aloha is one of the most misunderstood words.  Most people consider it or use it as a greeting, like hello.  However, Aloha like many Hawaiian words can have multiple and deeper meanings.  It can be used as a greeting but is also a word of love.  Not in the sense of romantic love.  But in the sense of happiness, contentment, acceptance.

ALOHA — to love is to be happy with
Love is such a powerful state of consciousness. When love is experienced, it is a feeling that requires something to be happy about. It can be a physical manifestation of energy such as a person, tree, etc. or it may be completely subtle and nonphysical such as the love for existence. This requirement of having something else be a part of the love equation, demonstrates the interconnectedness with all that is.

Love is fundamental to the healing process; acceptance is fundamental to the healing process. To accept; to be happy with; to embrace; to create harmony – is aloha. You don’t need to agree with someone on a personality level, however offering acceptance for who they are and for yourself in relation to them will create harmony and allow for the natural flow of healing energy and love.

Working with intention, the giver uses intuition and breath work to connect the mind, body and spirit during this massage. The form is fluid and rhythmic, using deep and gentle flowing strokes with the forearms, connecting the giver and receiver in a beautiful “dance.”

These patterns create an immense outpouring of energy, lulling the receiver into a deep meditative state of bliss. The focus is on quieting the mind of its chatter, letting go and allowing your deepest Self to receive unconditionally.

Each journey is unique, each transformation is nurturing and enlightening when you remain open to receiving.  Some clients experience a complete sensation of "nothingness". This is great! 

For others it is a powerful release of pent up emotions – this is also normal and beautiful.  Modern life is stressful, and the demands placed upon people build up, and over time become toxic. 

For many, they describe it as a wave that carries them away.  If you reach this deep restorative state, it is wonderful - this is what Kahu Abraham Kawai'i and indeed other  Hawaiians refer to as Ke Ala Hoku, or "Pathway to the Stars".

To be able to allow yourself to attain that deep state of tranquil meditation and receive healing from head to toe is a not a common theme within our culture and modern living.

Here's what others have said about this beautiful work:

"I wish you could teach classes in my area. This work is just amazing and absolutely worth the drive."

"What ever you've learned here is truly a sacred thing. I am honored to be on your table each and every time."

"If I had to use one word to describe the experience it would be; magical, thank you”

Are you ready for your own journey of Ke Ala Hoku ?
