Relaxation Massage Therapy

In Hawaiian, Lomi Lomi means knead knead, or to knead with the hands.  Lomi Lomi is a prayer in motion.  
Kahi Loa
Also known as the "light touch" Lomi, Kahi Loa incorporates elemental visioning and intuitive earth based imagery with Hawaiian light touch techniques to redesign mental emotional or spiritual blocks into new, life affirming neuropathways.  By shifting internal representations and anchoring the imagery experience through the body with touch, Kahi Loa is the best medicine for expanding conscious awareness, rewriting limiting beliefs or traumas, and renewing our internal connection to Nature as guide to healing. Length: 60 minute session, or included with Temple style 3 hour session.
Heartworks Lomi Lomi
This flowing style of massage deeply influences the heart, and accesses natural states of trance through which the mind lets go into nourishing and rejuvenating spaces for the mind, heart, spirit, and body. Each stroke of this massage is inspired by the movement of the ocean waves, flowing against the shore. Nature moved in circles, in cycles, in waves.  The receiver is encouraged to breathe in a flowing style to fully undertake the experience of being cleansed by the water.  Because this style greatly moves lymph and blood through muscles, detoxifying breath through the lungs, and energy through meridians, a Lomi massage of this style is a full being cleansing and renewing experience. Length: 90 minute session.
Temple Style Lomi Lomi
With full length energized flow strokes, Temple Lomi Lomi activates and frees up locked potential in the body, mind, and heart. Soothing deep joint rotations open and loosen stiff joints, increasing flexibility.  Rejuvenating and deeply in nature, this practice is for those seeking to integrate their own personal life intentions into their bodywork experience. These sessions are 2-3 hours in length and incorporate breath, imagery, intention setting, and shamanic tools (drum, feathers, chanting/singing, dance) to facilitate a full transformative opportunity.
What to expect: Lomi Lomi is performed unclothed, with full to modest draping, on a massage table, and uses oils to create it's flowing strokes. Option for chest and belly massage. A Hawaiian blessing is often spoken, or sung at the beginning of the session.

Lomi Lomi Massage

This combo session uses the wisdom of relaxation massage in combination with effective therapeutic massage techniques to support good posture, injury recovery or prevention, joint mobility, and healthy muscle tone. Not all therapeutic work is deep, and sometimes we need a gentle intervention to be most effective. 
This session is a good fit for those with recent or acute injuries, anxiety/PTSD, or those with sensitive nervous systems who need a lighter touch. 

Relaxation/Therapeutic Massage

Prenatal massages are more gentle than other types of massages, but they still offer many benefits. Prenatal massages are tailored to the needs of the pregnant person and their changing body, and therapists trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly. 
Postpartum massages relax muscles, increase circulation, and lower stress hormones, bringing both physical and emotional relief. Some people prefer a light-touch massage, while others opt for a deeper massage that reaches further into the muscles and soft tissues of the body for more complete healing.

Prenatal/Postnatal Massage Therapy

All the benefits of reiki, including expanded states of awareness and depth through the emotional and mental aspects, clarity, vision, nervous system regulation, increased immune function, pain management, grief and emotional support, rehabilitation support, and decreased healing time, all within the context of a relaxation massage. 
For these sessions you have the option to undress to receive oil massage, or leave clothes on for compression through clothing massage.  Truly deep relaxation.

Combo Massage and Reiki Therapy

Reiki

Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that lifts up tissues such as the fascia (connective tissue) and muscles, blood and other fluid, close to the surface of the skin. Cupping rapidly loosens the fascia and muscles, stimulating blood flow to the area, and quickly reducing pain. 
Practitioners may use plastic, silicone or glass cups to create suction that releases the connective tissue that may be restricting movement, or causing discomfort. 
Cupping is performed within the context of a therapeutic massage, so practitioners will use the cupping alongside therapeutic massage techniques. 
*Make sure you have filled out your cupping consent form before coming to your session.
