Enter into the realm of lomilomi, the traditional Hawaiian approach to bodywork.
Lomilomi holds the premise that body, mind and spirit (trinity) participate in its evolution-healing.
The work creates a temple...a sacred space...a connecting space...a safe space for the body's consciousness (the emotional body).
