Course Description: 

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage is a traditional native Hawaiian healing art and culture. The techniques were brought to Hawaii by the early Polynesians who came from various islands in the South Pacific. It was passed down through Kahuna/priestly lines and is one of the components of traditional medicine. Lomi Lomi technique varies from family to family and the technique that will be introduced is based on the work of Margaret Machado of Napo’opo’o, Kona, Hawaii. The method uses the palm heel and ulna in relaxing the body. This course  will teach the entire beginners routine for Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage and will cover cultural and philosophical practices such as Aloha essence of Hawaiian culture and Ho’oponopono conflict resolution. Students learn how Lomi lomi and the Autonomic Nervous system affects digestion & elimination. Students taught Ike Haha diagnosis through palpation and checking trigger points to determine root cause of muscle tension. Ho'oma'ema'e/detoxification through Sea Water cleansing, Colon therapy, and Ai Pono eating vegetarian. Exercise, we encourage walking 30 minutes everyday and stretching with the pole. Students will learn how to use the lomi lomi stick to do self massage and use on their clients.

Students will learn the 4 components of Lomi Lomi:

• Pule or prayer
• Ho’oponopono or conflict resolution and forgiveness, how negative emotions affect Autonomic Nervous System
• Aloha or unconditional love
• Ho’oma’ema’e or cleansing – internally and emotionally, spiritually, diet, colon cleansing, steam bath, exercise, kapu kai/purification at the ocean
• Ai Pono-in the tradition of Auntie Margaret & Uncle Freddie we teach and have students prepare vegetarian food each day
• Daily Schedule of Class (please click here)>>

Students will be taught how these principles affect the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system which causes muscle tension. Students will learn how to use the beginning routine to address problems with neck, shoulders and lower back by working with the autonomic nervous and digestive system.  Students who take this class will have the hours and training required to work as a Lomi Lomi practitioner at the beginners level. Advance technique workshop will be offered in the Fall of  2011.

(For our Heisei graduates, they will learn the full routine for Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage which includes face. head, and stretching.)
