Aroma Massage + Reflexology

Lomilomi infused with Aromatherapy modalities to create a multisensory healing experience. Essencial oils awake the ancestral limbic area of the brain by acting with our body chemically. This treatment is beneficial to holistically address the wellbeing by using the physical and psycoemotional effect of the essential oils. The treatment starts with a consultation then includes the preparation of the botanical oils-based blend, chakra massage and a microdosis take away.

Foot reflexology activates the body’s natural functional ability to react by stimulating the body’s organs from foot manipulation. The thoughtful touch, the stimulation of the reflex zones of organs, bones and trigger points through the use of essential oils, brings benefit to the correspondent organs of the body and to the entire individual. Alongside the massage, on request, a personal reading of the feet morphology.

Kua Lua

Kua is the spine, Lua is the Hawaiian martial art. Kua Lua is a traditional Hawaiian style of barefoot back massage, passed down to me by Kumu Jeana Iwalani Naluai, to align and relax the body and mind.
As we run our feet up and down the back, our goal is to work on specific areas of discomfort or simply help the client reconnect with their family lineage and come into alignment.
This is for people who do not like to be touched with oil. Also great for chronic lower and upper back and shoulder blade pain, hip stiffness, mild scoliosis, sciatica, tight or sore muscles such as leg and arm muscles, etc.

What makes Lomilomi so unique?

It’s not the deep pressure or the music, but the intention behind the breath, the deep connection trought the work of different levels. Traditional Hawaiian massage is one of the most deeply healing forms of bodywork—it embodies the essence of holistic well-being.

Body, mind, spirit, and nature form a unified whole, and this fusion (Lōkahi) is at the heart of a profound and complete bodywork practice. In this healing approach, there is an interconnection between the physical aspects (Lomilomi), the spiritual (Pule), and the social (Ho’oponopono), to help us live our authenticity in the world. Developed centuries ago, the traditional manual therapy still practiced in Hawai‘i today continues to guide people toward vital balance and supports them in cultivating their own strength.

Tailored for

Release and relax

The experience leads you to a profound emotional awareness addressing issues at their roots. I met you exactly as you are facilitating your process of releasing, connection and grounding in a safe environment.

Circulation

If you feel heavy legs or congestioned in some areas, the massage can help to move fluids and blood in the body facilitating the elimination of toxins and the enrichment of nutrient exchange. 

Lower back issues

Lomilomi gives strength, creates space, stretches, moves and cleans. Fluids and circulation stagnation, lower back pain, muscle stiffness, nerves sensitivity, this massage works on myofascial release with long strokes promoting joint mobility.

Stress & anxiety

Acute stressful challenges can lead to increased inflammatory activity, skin reactions, headache. Manual therapies modulate affective-cognitive and immune processes by working on the parasympathetic system.

Skincare and topical wellness

The organic and ecological formulations used, enriched with essential oils, nourish the skin with bioactive flavonoids, extracts of medicinal plants and wild flowers. Also suitable for extremely reactive and allergic skin. Upon request, after a consultation, I will add to your treatment a personalized blend of essential oils that you can take with you even afterwards.

Neck and shoulders

Can be performed traditionally (lomilomi, neck and back) or seated (Lomi Noho), wherever you are, or in the studio. It goes deeply on the neck, shoulders and back muscles releasing tension from the cervical spine to the back. Frized shoulders, headache, high blood pressure, it helps restore the oxygen to the brain.

Recovery and injury prevention

Pain, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and fatigue can manifest after high stress, grief, surgery or long treatments. Natural therapies help to boost your immune and emotional response and improving the quality of your life.

Body-mind Balance

When too many thoughts do not allow us to stay in the present and create tension in the body. For moments when it is difficult to unplug, it helps to give yourself a fear and listen to the messages of the body giving a return to lightness.
