Thrive Through Touch - Therapy

07/03/2025

📩 I sometimes receive messages from people asking for a “quick one-hour Lomi session.” And each time, it makes me pause and reflect on what I am truly offering as a Lomi Lomi practitioner and teacher—and why I choose to offer only one Lomi Lomi session per day.

Because Lomi Lomi is… something different. ✨

It is not just about working on the body, nor is it something that can be rushed or done on "autopilot." There is a reason this practice has been passed down through generations with such deep reverence.

What makes it so unique? Why do I dedicate my full presence to just one person and one session a day?

🌿 Have you ever felt intrigued by bodywork or touch therapy but hesitant because of the vulnerability it involves?

I often hear things like: “I’d like to experience some kind of bodywork, but the idea of un******ng, exposing myself on a massage table, and that oily skin—it’s just too much for me.”

Whether it’s personal boundaries, cultural considerations, or simply not being a fan of oily skin, these hesitations are completely valid. But here’s the thing: none of this should exclude you from experiencing the benefits of bodywork.

Embodied Rebalance is a gentle approach that respects your comfort and boundaries. There’s no need for oils, un******ng, or anything that feels overwhelming. Instead, it provides a safe, inclusive space for healing and transformation through the body.

Yes, you can:
✔ Stay fully clothed and still experience the benefits of mindful touch and guided movement.
✔ Release deep tension in the body and mind without a single drop of massage oil.
✔ Reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom and healing ability, free from the discomfort of traditional massage techniques.
✔ Find grounding and emotional clarity, especially during stressful times or transitions, without feeling intimidated or overly exposed.

Whether you’re navigating stress, working through emotional challenges, or simply seeking a new way to connect with your body, Embodied Rebalance can be a supportive ally on your journey.

I know the holiday season can bring a mix of emotions—joy and warmth for some, while for others, it might feel tender or challenging. It’s a time that often stirs up memories, reflections, and perhaps even a longing for something more or different. The busyness of the season can sometimes overshadow our deeper needs, leaving us yearning for quiet, connection, or a moment to simply breathe.

As we step into a new year, it’s a wonderful opportunity to do so mindfully—by creating space for ourselves, reflecting, processing, and nurturing what we truly need to move forward with balance and clarity. It’s also a time to gently let go of the past, open to new possibilities, and plant seeds of fresh intentions—inviting growth and alignment with what feels most meaningful to us.

This isn’t about resolutions or striving to do more, but about finding moments to breathe, recalibrate, and honour where we are right now. In those quiet, intentional pauses, we often discover the clarity and strength to take the next step. Our bodies, when we truly listen, can be our most trusted guides on this journey—if we open to their wisdom and allow it. A Lomi Lomi or somatic bodywork session can be deeply supportive in that process.

My schedule is nearly fully booked until the end of January, but I still have a few spaces left for those who feel ready and reach out promptly.

Wishing you a peaceful and grounding start to the new year. May we all find the connection, meaning, and light we are looking for.

Warmly,
Izabella

Embracing Vulnerability Through Lomi Lomi

Today, I experienced a powerful reminder of what it means to embrace vulnerability during a Lomi Lomi session with Mark. There was a moment—a quiet, courageous choice—to soften, to let down his walls, and to simply be. Vulnerability can feel like unfamiliar ground, but it’s in these moments of openness that true healing begins. In that softening, we can release tension not just in our bodies, but in our hearts, too. I often see a lightness return to those who have just received Lomi Lomi—a reflection of the gentle, unspoken healing that has taken place. 🌿

Every session teaches me something new, and moments like these remind me why I love this work so much. Lomi Lomi provides a space safe enough to surrender, to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we often guard. When we allow ourselves to truly feel, to let go, and to be seen, we find strength in our vulnerability, and that’s deeply transformative.

If you’re curious about how vulnerability can be a pathway to healing transformation and self-connection, read more in my latest article on the website. Discover the profound impact that softening our walls can have on our well-being and inner balance.

🌿Embodiment Spirituality - Come Back to Wholeness through Lomi Lomi 🌺

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s so easy to lose sight of who we really are. We get caught up in the daily grind, and before we know it, we’ve drifted away from our true selves—the part of us that’s rooted in freedom, love, and a deep connection with the Universe.

That’s where Lomi Lomi comes in. This isn’t just another massage; it’s a deeply healing practice from indigenous Hawaiian tradition that offers so much more. Lomi Lomi is a spiritual experience that guides you back to your essence, helping you reconnect with your wholeness. 🌊

Through long, flowing strokes and the powerful spirit of Aloha, Lomi Lomi works on multiple levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual—to release tension, stress, and old emotional patterns. It invites you to return to your true self, tapping into the limitless potential that’s always been within you.

Amidst the noise of our busy lives, let's not forget the power of our presence and the attention we can offer someone in need. As a Lomi Lomi practitioner, I've experienced firsthand how undivided attention and deep presence can be one of the most significant aspects of restoring balance and the overall healing process. I do believe that the most valuable gift we can offer someone is our sincere attention - to truly listen, and connect. In a world overflowing with distractions, taking the time to sit down with a friend over a cup of coffee or tea and truly listen to their stories, dreams, and worries speaks volumes. Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. It's not just about being physically present, but about being mentally and emotionally present too. Whether it's putting away our phones during dinner with family, or giving our full attention to a colleague sharing their ideas in a meeting, these small acts of attention can make a big difference in someone's day. Let's cherish these moments of genuine connection and prioritize giving our attention where it truly matters. 💚

As a recent college graduate, young American Mark embarked on an exciting adventure by moving to a foreign country (New Zealand) for work. While thrilled at the prospect of new experiences and opportunities, he also grappled with a sense of apprehension and uncertainty about what lay ahead.

Healing from Loss and Grief with Temple Lomi Lomi 💔

Today, I’d like to share with you Emily's courageous journey with her permission. I hope it will serve as a beacon of hope for those navigating similar paths.

Emily, a young woman in her twenties, sought refuge after the sudden loss of her beloved grandmother, who had been her rock and guiding light throughout her life. Overwhelmed by grief and a profound sense of emptiness, Emily struggled to find meaning and purpose in her everyday life.
Her devoted friend recommended her the Lomi Lomi Temple session, and that's how we met.

During her Lomi Lomi session, tears flowed freely as the emotions and memories came to the surface. As I massaged her tired body and held space for her emotions, Emily felt a sense of warmth and comfort enveloping her, as if her grandmother's loving presence was wrapping her in a protective embrace.

Through the healing power of touch and the unconditional love of Temple Lomi Lomi, Emily found solace. After this initial session, we had a few next in the following weeks. With each one of them, she experienced a gradual easing of her grief, allowing her to honor her grandmother's memory while finding the courage to step into a new chapter of her life, while still feeling the gentle and supportive presence of her grandmother.

Temple Lomi Lomi provided Emily with a safe haven to process her emotions, release her pain, and reconnect with the love and support that surrounded her. 🌿

Through the gentle yet potent touch of Lomi Lomi, John experienced a profound shift in perspective. He found himself awakening to a newfound sense of compassion and understanding, not only for himself but also for his ex-partner. It was a pivotal moment of forgiveness and acceptance that paved the way for his journey toward healing.

In the days following his initial Lomi Lomi session, John reached out to me to share the transformative impact it had on him. He spoke of newfound strength and resilience, no longer shackled by the chains of resentment and bitterness. With each subsequent session, John continued to reclaim his sense of self, emerging as a more empowered and wholehearted version of himself.

Navigating Life's Transitions with the Support of Temple Lomi Lomi, Part 1

🌺 Embracing Motherhood

This is Rachel’s story, which I share here with her permission and as an inspiration and encouragement for other new mums.

Rachel, a first-time mother, was filled with a whirlwind of emotions as she welcomed her newborn baby into the world. Amidst the overwhelming joy and love she felt for her child, Rachel also grappled with feelings of exhaustion, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Adjusting to the demands of motherhood, she found herself struggling to prioritize self-care and reconnect with her own needs amidst the constant demands of caring for her baby. Seeking support, Rachel turned to me and the Temple Lomi Lomi practice.

During our conversation before the session, she shared her experiences of sleepless nights, breastfeeding challenges, and the rollercoaster of emotions that came with new motherhood. Then after the session, she shared with me her experience. As I massaged her tired muscles and held space for her emotions, she felt a sense of relaxation wash over her, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Through the nurturing touch of Temple Lomi Lomi, she found solace in knowing that she was not alone on her journey and that it was okay to ask for help and support when needed. We had two following sessions, after the first one, and with each of them, Rachel felt more and more grounded, centered, and empowered to embrace the joys and challenges of motherhood with grace and resilience. Temple Lomi Lomi became her sacred space where she could nurture herself, replenish her energy, and deepen her bond with her baby, knowing that she was supported by the unconditional love and aloha spirit of the practice.
