Lomi Essence • Body and Face Therapy

Lomi Essence • Body and Face Therapy Lomi Lomi and Facemodeling offer conscious bodywork to ease stress, restore balance, and support harmony in your whole being.

My name is Joanna Polkowska, and I welcome you to my practice, where massage becomes an art of creation, attuned to your natural rhythm, state and pace of healing. Guided by the ancient tradition of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi and the precision of natural Face Sculpting, my work honours body’s innate wisdom — the power to release, restore, and return to harmony. Through mindful touch and presence, I offer you a path of transformation where true well-being can unfold. Rooted in the lineage of Hawaiian master Kahu Abraham Kawai’i, my practice of Lomi Lomi Nui is a living tradition of this deeply restorative, flowing bodywork that honors the interconnectedness of body, mind, spirit, and ancestry. My teachers, Susan Pa’iniu Floyd and Ho’okahi Tamara Stephens — both direct students of Kahu — have passed on the depth and spirit of this tradition. For a decade I offer sessions for those seeking self-awareness, embodiment, and contentment through a healthy, connected body. In 2024, I was drawn to Facemodeling — a multidimensional face sculpting modality that works deeply with the fascia and structural layers of the face, head, and upper torso. Like Lomi Lomi, this holistic treatment stimulates the renewal processes of the body and allows instant visible effects. Nature and movement are my healing ground. Like their flow, I trust my hands and find beauty in the quiet unfolding of each session. The bodywork I practice is both subtle and intuitive, inviting presence and opening a space where real connection and healing can take place.

Wstaje, gdy jeszcze noc trwa, zawsze przed wschodem słońca. Można by rzec, że to ona budzi słońce. Codziennie z materii powszechnej formuje kształty, słowa, smaki, obrazy. Ma wiele imion: świadomość, dusza, energia, byt.

Osobiście lubię nazywać ją “Ty”.

Dbanie o Ty jest niewymagające. Ty lubi sen, dobry posiłek, świeże powietrze, czystą wodę, zabawę i spacer. Lubi piękno pod każdą postacią, dotyk i czułość. Te niewyrafinowane potrzeby wydają się banalne, co sprawia, że Ty często doświadcza ich niedostatku.

Moje Ty ma coś, co może polubić Twoje. Głównie dlatego, że to, co oferuję, jest niezwykle proste!

LOMI LOMI oraz PRENATALNE LOMI LOMI
Terapeutyczny, holistyczny, rewitalizujący masaż wpływający na struktury mięśniowo-powięziowe, który doskonale oddziałuje na układ kostny, tkanki miękkie, meridiany, pole energetyczne oraz stan psychiczno-emocjonalny człowieka.
Stymuluje pracę nerwu błędnego, a tym samym parasympatycznego układu nerwowego, dzięki czemu pozostawia długotrwały efekt odprężenia. Indukuje procesy ozdrowieńcze na poziomie komórkowym, potęguje doświadczanie ciała - jako całości - oraz subtelnie poszerza perspektywę “ja” w przestrzeni.

FACEMODELING
Masaż mięśniowo-powięziowy i wewnątrzustny obszaru twarzy, z uwzględnieniem czaszki, stawu skroniowo-żuchwowego, szyi, dekoltu, ramion, przepony. To głęboka, holistyczna terapia, której zaletą jest udrożnienie przepływu limfy i eliminowanie jej zastojów w całym ciele.
Może wspierać leczenie bruksizmu, regenerację po operacjach, przygotowanie do inwazyjnych zabiegów kosmetologicznych lub chirurgii plastycznej. Efekty rozluźnienia w obszarze żuchwy, odżywienia tkanek, ujędrnienia skóry odczuwalne i widoczne są już po jednym zabiegu.
Facemodeling jest odpowiedni dla kobiet oraz mężczyzn w każdym wieku. Zalecana częstotliwość wykonywania przewiduje 5 spotkań co 2 tygodnie, następnie kontynuowanie terapii od czasu do czasu, dla utrzymania efektu - wedle potrzeby. Jeden zabieg trwa około 120 minut.

🍂 SPOTKANIA W POZNANIU | 11.10- 25.10

Niech budzenie słońca stanie się Twoim ulubionym zajęciem, a urocza, jesienna aura sprzyja naszym spotkaniom!

Good news for those of you who may have experienced some logistical inconveniences due to my move to Ostkreuz. For the next few days, from December 24th to January 1st inclusive, I am offering sessions in Mitte. You are invited to a private, cozy, and clean space where the body becomes a body, often transcending the dimensions of three-dimensionality.

Circumstances related to subletting commercial space in Berlin (if you live here, you probably know what I'm talking about – or is it just me?) pushed me towards practicing something akin to Guerilla Lomi Lomi (in the context of location). For those unfamiliar with marketing jargon, Guerrilla marketing is a strategy in which a company uses surprise, unconventional interactions to promote or offer a product or service.

Paradoxically, this deviates drastically, entirely, utterly, completely from my dreams and (high) expectations regarding how and where I would like to receive you. On the other hand, there are many benefits to the fact that no one is billing me by the hour. I am relaxed, present, open, derive more joy from the art work. The selected work spaces open up their potentials, inviting their use!

So, if you are seeking authenticity, connection with oneself in the company of another human being, deep experiences, sincerity, prosperity – I am all of that now - for as long as I am still here, in Berlin.

Whether or not you celebrate the end of the Gregorian calendar, I wish you abundance of all kinds, inspiration, and always following the voice of your heart and gut. Let things happen and be fulfilled!

The body is our cellular memory, which dictates the mechanisms of behaviour, how we perceive ourselves and how we interact with the outside world. Some of these mechanisms are life-supporting, other hinder or are destructive.

The holistic value of body work such as Lomi Lomi is to recognise that a person is a multi-faceted being who is " composed" of a number of elements. These include the past, the present, the future, the emotions - feelings, thoughts, beliefs, concepts, ideologies, which are largely influenced by personal experiences and traumas, upbringing, cultural environment and society.

Getting to the root of what obstructs our life, the connection and integration of these subtle substances is accomplished through the body, not the mind. And this is a process which I recommend to be carried out only under the guidance of an experienced psychotherapist.

Lomi Lomi however, serves as a potent aid in this integration work. Like a transmuting alchemist - it facilitates this task through touch - in an intimate, safe setting. Therefore, it is with attention and enthusiasm that I observe how body-work techniques of various kinds are increasingly complementing psychological or medical therapies (incl. palliative care), coaching programmes, spiritual quests, pregnancy and the postnatal period.

Anyway, after a long (and redundant) C-pause, Lomi Lomi Berlin sessions are now available on a regular basis, and I always look forward to hearing from you! Be gentle with yourselves.

Teasing stillness. Still life is infinitely patient. Once in a while it wakes up, then nothing can stop its flow! Spring is waiting around the corner, the universe is spinning, with or without our participation, the sun is beginning to shine stronger and longer. Change comes with it.

Indeed - Lomi Lomi Berlin studio is open again - from today 😊

Gratitude grows in the fertile field of our heart. It is the spark that kindles all that is most beautiful in us: smiles, kindness, affection. With gratitude we feel whole, therefore it looks so good on us.

Gratitude is gracious. The unconditional form of love and the gentlest of caresses, through which we reveal our vulnerability to the world.

"I could thank you all day for this experience and I would so much like to give you something in return". - told me someone yesterday after a session.

Gratitude serves our personal need to be part of a greater whole, a multidimensional flow of giving and receiving. Any action motivated by gratitude is delightful because it shows purity and simplicity of being.

Hawaiian massage often evokes waves of boundless gratitude and tenderness. Feeling safe and secure, we respond to our greatness in a natural way: with simplicity and effortlessness.

Come and see for yourself!

I am delighted to be back in Berlin! Naturally, I invite you to enjoy all the goodies and delights that Lomi Lomi abundantly offers.

The last few months have made many of us quite suddenly realise how little influence we have over the nuances of this life, especially in the context of its unpredictability and cyclicity.

Rebirth is one of the phases integral to changeability. We are reborn every day by opening our eyes after the night or in spring with the first warm ray of the sun. We rise from falls and crises. We fall in love, we break our hearts, only to love again and more maturely. The awareness of rebirth gives us a point of reference, a sense that no state is permanent as well as solace in the symbolism of Fenix.

Whatever phase we are in, let us live it wisely. Gentleness and tenderness are our great attributes that soothe mental states, soften interpersonal relationships and bring serenity to our hearts. As opposed to resistance, which magnifies chaos and tension.

I wish us harmonious, steady and fine cycles and very much look forward to meeting you this summer!

What an abundance of stories written by life thanks to you guys! It's so good to see we're on the same page - through creative discontent, we never have enough of searching.
I get the impression that everyone is talking about relationships now. We can carry on a general conversation however the plot always moves towards love .... or rather self-love, to finally conclude with the cliche. And however worn out this line is, it touches the core of that upon which we build all relationships.
Let us therefore continue to rewrite our stories from this perspective. Passionately, faithfully, gently, resolutely loving ourselves.

Lomi Lomi in Berlin performs form 30th December to 5th January. It's great to be here!

End of November. Are you opening you up to the unspoken and unseen? Have you recently touched that part of your soul that may have more significance than you suppose?
Nostalgia, a well known feeling at the turn of the year. So beautiful that you don't even want to describe it, because every word seems a blemish on the nature of the experience. And yet sometimes someone does it for you. Sounds True.

I as the white lily
and you Beloved as the red rose,
we were in pure companionship.
And whatever was in your heart
was spoken by my tongue.

Grounding, Inspiring, Transformative

Welcome to Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. The art of massage that supports health on all levels of existence. It keeps us grounded, aware and connected with the body. It links the inner and outer worlds. Is is the motion that roots you here and takes you there!

Lomi Lomi puts the person in touch with himself on kinesthetic, emotional and psychological levels. The changeable dynamic of soothing and vigorous strokes shifts awareness inwards resulting in release of tension, softening of sore muscles and boosting the immune system. Like a ceremony in which the touch is given respectfully with the whole being, this bodywork responds to where and who we are NOW. For that reason, there is no one "right" or rigid manner of doing Lomi Lomi.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi addresses your Inner Power, the unlimited source of life force you can tap into at all times. Living abundant life means to restore balance between what we feel (heart), where we feel that (body) and what is our intuitive response to it (soul). This alignment allows free energy flow, attracting spectrum of life events in which we express and our innate talents and creative passion.

Lomi Lomi gently touches the core of being. It is unique because it’s harmonious. It is inspiring, because it is an art of creation. It is courageous because it initiates changes. It is special because You are special!
