What is it?Originating in Polynesia, Lomi Lomi Massage (also known as Aloha or Kahuna massage) is a complete healing system which aims to restore harmony and balance within the body, mind and spirit. The word Lomi means to massage; Lomi Lomi means to massage with intention. This is one of the most important principles behind this beautiful bodywork as the practitioner always works on the body with love, nurturing and healing in mind. Hawaiians have always had a deep connection with nature, in particular with the ocean, and this connection is echoed in Lomi Lomi as the practitioner performs long, continuous, sweeping strokes over the body reminiscent of the ebb and flow of the ocean’s waves. These strokes, performed fluidly and rhythmically with both the hands and forearms, work gently and deeply into the muscles releasing tension, as well as on the blood and lymphatic systems making it a powerful, detoxifying massage. They are also designed to help the body let go of old memories, beliefs and behavioural patterns which, in Hawaiian culture, are believed to be stored in every cell of our bodies. These ideas and thoughts can prevent us from living our lives to their true potential and are capable of causing just as much stress and strain on the body as muscle tension. Hawaiians perceive health in terms of energy flow. If there is a blockage obstructing the natural flow of energy then pain, illness or disease may result.Lomi Lomi Massage uses intuitive movement, breath work, focused attention and rhythm to release energy blockages and physical tension to bring about a state of harmony and deep relaxation. What to expect from a treatment A brief consultation will be carried out to establish if there are any contraindications to the treatment and then the therapist will leave you to undress. There will be a couple of minutes of chanting music whilst both the client and practitioner set their intention

Shiatsu Shiatsu is aholistic healing art developed in Japan and based on traditional 3500-year-oldoriental medical wisdom while incorporating the principles of anatomy,physiology and pathology. Shiatsu is adynamic body therapy in which the therapist interacts with the receiver torestore balance in the energy system. Imbalance, that is, too little or toomuch chi, can manifest in various ailments, depending on which meridians areaffected. Like most naturaltherapies, shiatsu is based on the assumption that the body is a self-healingorganism, and that the role of the practitioner is to aid and support thatnaturally occurring process. Shiatsu can assist an individual with theirself-development and self-healing; balancing the underlying causes of acondition and addressing physical and psychological functions; promoting healthand strengthening the body’s own healing abilities. Treatment may alsoinclude the use of flowing stretches and gentle rotations of the limbs andjoints, simple structural alignments and muscle release techniques. On aphysical level this has the effect of stimulating circulation and the flow oflymphatic fluid. It also works on the autonomic nervous system; helps torelease toxins and deep-seated tension from the muscles, and can also stimulatethe hormonal system. On a subtler level shiatsu allows the receiver to deeplyrelax, stimulating the body’s inherent ability for self healing andregeneration The personreceiving shiatsu remains clothed, or is covered by a sheet and treatmentusually takes place on a futon on the floor.

Working with a firm and gentle rhythm it helps to relievemuscular discomfort and tension as well as calming the spirit and aidingrelaxation, it also improves circulation in the head, enhances the senses andpromotes clear thinking. The massage usually begins with the upperback, where a combination of deep massage and pressure points help to relax themuscles and to loosen and melt knots. Moving through the shoulders and upperarms further releases the common spots for holding stress and tension, and thenworking deeply into the neck where tension accumulates relieves headaches andimproves cerebral spinal fluid circulation. Moving up to the scalp, techniquesare used that stimulate, relax and revive the whole of the head, increasingcirculation and promoting healthy hair.
