Lomi Lomi Massage 

The massage is given by a professional masseuse in fast flowing, fluid, rhythmic movements using both full hands, palms and forearms, people often describe this feeling like gentle waves moving over through the body. Another benefit of this type of massage therapy is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, e.g. your therapist could work on your shoulders and lower back but could also include your upper legs assisting in deeper relaxation as it’s extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once.

Dance-work or rather ‘Hula’ movements, combined with the breath-work of the practitioner are important and integral aspects of this traditional Hawaiian massage, these movements assist the flow of energy both within the practitioner and recipient which helps keep the energy at a high level.

During your treatment on a physical level through specific techniques performed by a professional with decades of experience, stress and tension will be released, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated. There is no set format, every client has different requirements i.e. no two massages will ever be the same, instead will be dictated and tailored by the clients individual energy flow and needs.

Please note* Lomi Lomi massage is quite an intimate experience as no towels are used throughout the massage, but rather a small sheet to keep some modesty whilst leaving most of the body exposed allowing the therapist to perform the specific under-body massage techniques from head to toe and without inhibiting the full flow of the massage. A heated under blanket is used to keep your body warm and comfortable throughout your treatment, the room temperature maybe raised as well.

Please note* This treatment is only performed by our Watford head massage therapist Colin.
