Why lomilomi is the only hands-on work I offer…
This work feels like home.
From the moment I began learning lomilomi, something in me recognized it. The quiet touch, the presence, the sacred awareness—it all felt deeply natural, like something my hands and heart already understood. There is something inherently sacred about this work, and that quality is what drew me in from the very beginning.
I learned many approaches in massage school, but when I graduated in 2018, lomilomi was the only hands-on work I chose to offer. I’ve taken many additional classes since then, but the bodywork I return to—every day, with every client—is lomilomi.
One reason is its depth.
Lomilomi supports the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It can help calm the nervous system during times of stress, overwhelm, anxiety, or grief. And at the same time, it’s incredibly effective for anatomically precise clinical work that helps people get out of pain and move better.
Lomilomi is not a modality—it’s a lineage-rooted, family-based practice with teachings passed down through culture, tradition, and lived experience. It continues to grow me, challenge me, and invite me into deeper presence, humility, and awareness.
That is why lomilomi is the only hands-on work I offer.
It feels true, aligned, and pono—and it continues to guide me forward.
