Organic Spa Wisdom: Lomilomi


Organic Spa Wisdom clip:


Know Your Stroke

Which form of massage is best for you? We’re fans of Lomi-Lomi, a gentle rhythmic massage that’s based on the sacred Hawaiian hula. As writer Judith Fein explains, Lomi-lomi evolved from the practices of Kahunas (shamans) in Hawaii. It treats the body we walk around in, as well as the spirit that nourishes us. The therapist uses long, repetitive strokes and works in a dance-like fashion, performing figure-eight-like movements. To find the massage that’s right for you, check out our website for 14 Massage Techniques.
