Lomi Lomi - Hawaiian massage

Kahuna Nui Hale Kealohalani Makua – “Love all you see, including yourself".

Aloha is at the center of Lomi Lomi Massage, that is the spirit of love and deep care. Lomi Massage has both a strong connection to your body but equally your mind. For those seeking massage for relaxation, joy and peace - this goes beyond just your physical body - it is a space for you to be cared for in a most amazing way. Through the expression of true aloha, and the power of touch and freeing of your spirit.

Lomi Lomi (Rub, Rub) takes its style from the rhythmic and flowing nature of the ocean. The massage is to your whole body, so it is best done naked, but if you are shy - we use a lava lava to cover you. A combination of hot oil and hot Lava Stones are used across your body - this creates a unique healing for specific areas you want to work on. From your neck, back, buttocks, groin and legs the use of hot-stones is deeply sensual and healing.

Back in Hawaiia I also developed a specialised massage designed for Big Guys and those just shy about their body shape and size - This Massage is called PuiPui Massage - you can find out more information here on my blog https://menspeacemassage.com/f/hawaiian-traditional-puipui-massage-for-big-guys

About Marma

Marma is an ancient form of Massage originating from South India as part of the traditional Martial Arts. Marma is an intimate and sensual massage aimed at empowering your mind, soul and body. Marma goal is to use elements of gentle touch across your whole body, deep breathing, bathing and hot oil to connect core Marma points over your body. You know your body and what empowers you, so click on the Marma Massage Points Picture and work through which Marma Points you want to include in your session.

Marma Massage Points

Marma has 107 key points mapped across your body aimed at targeting key areas associated with your goals of your session. The 108 Marma point is your mind, a key element of your session. Click on the Marama Map above and work out which Marma point or points you want focused on during your session. See below to help you work out which Marma are best for the goals you have for your session

Marma massage has four key elements conducted during your massage

(1) Touch - Marma originated as a male to male massage for men involved in traditional Indian marshal arts. For many being massaged by a male across your entire body maybe new. However we approach this as a very natural and freeing experience. Men know each others body better, and this is done without judgment about your body size, age, values - our focus is deep peace, empowerment and a strong sense of fulfillment in being all that you can be.

(2) Breath - this is a key element of Marma, breath connects your mind to the touch and each marma point across you body. We also reckon it helps guys relax, as often we spend our massage sessions over-thinking! We will start each session with breathing lessons - not only for the session, but also for you to take back to your work and home life as well

(3) Water Water in marma is a symbol of cleansing and also represents the idea that water finds its way to every part of your body - Marma massage is the same, to all parts of your body. Before each session we start by washing you - again for some this is a new experience and an amazing start to your session.

(4) Oil in a traditional marma session large amounts of oil is used, often with herbs designed to assist in healing. In our NZ Studio we use sweet almond oil, and we will add herbal elements only when they are needed and with your guidance
