What to expect?
How often and how long?
There is no minimum session required. Whilst one session can be transformational in itself, I have found that further sessions are very beneficial. Lomi Lomi is a language, a communication without words that your body will learn to receive and understand.
You can have just one or as many as you want (every fortnight, every month or even every year) and you are pacing the rhythm of your massages. It is indeed very nurturing and balancing to come regularly for Lomi Lomi. Each massage is completely different from one another and conveys a unique message, therefore you will never receive the same massage twice!
A regular session lasts 2 hours, so it is best to plan your day and make sure that you will not do a very hard work after the massage, as you are very likely to feel that it is impossible in that moment!
Longer sessions up to 4 hours can be booked. Contact Nelly for more information and make an arrangement.
The first session lasts longer (up to 3 hours), as we go through an initial consultation including your full medical history and your current physical and emotional status. This allows me to get a clear picture of where you are at.
What happens in a session?
A Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage is an applied sequence of sacred ceremonies designed to bring to life the Huna wisdom of ancient Hawai’i, thereby activating the healing power of Aloha.
It is best to come in comfortable clothing. The session takes place in a warm, safe and relaxing environment. Luxurious Flannel and Egyptian Cotton Towels are used, along with soft sarongs that are a treat for the skin.
As this is an all-body oil massage, you are invited to remove all clothing and wrap yourself with a sarong, before to lie down on the heated massage table. Whether the massage is being done on your front or on your back, you are covered with a loincloth to respect your privacy.
Prior starting the massage, an energetic preparation is done. This is to engage your Chakras and Auric field within this bodily experience and to prepare your body to receive the massage.
The back of your body receives first and then your front. Each cell of your body receives attention, from the tip of your toes to the tip of your hair, including the feet, legs, back, belly, chest, neck and shoulders, hands, skull, ears and face.
The most gorgeous Hawaiian music is sent to your ears and warm oil applied to your body. Using long flowing strokes of various rhythm and intensity up and down the length of the body, I engage with the dynamic forces of nature to facilitate the most comprehensive benefits possible for you. Moving from side to side and using my whole hands, forearms and bodyweight, your aura is cleansed, held and healed, your Chakras aligned, whilst your body experiences a sense of connection, presence and wholeness.
The massage ends with a gentle yet powerful grounding and a time for you to rest and integrate the experience. Plenty of water will be waiting for you, as this assists in the detoxifying process.
According to the Hawaiians, thoughts contain Mana. When thoughts are combined with touch and breath, they are transferred to the receiver. As an empty vessel, my thoughts will be focused on love and healing, tuned in to your needs of the moment.
Painlessly and effortlessly, Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage washes away deeply held blockages. Wave after wave of awakening touch, the myofascial, which is the connective tissue surrounding every muscle of the body, is addressed and its release brings more flexibility, fluidity and a sense of being taller.
The healing/cleansing effects and re-balancing can be felt for weeks after the massage.

During the massage, it helps to focus your attention on your breath. Each inspiration offers a chance to draw fresh energy in, and each expiration, an opportunity to dissolve tension, let go of anything that limits you and to deepen your experience of relaxation. This will come naturally very quickly.
I use only the finest, 100% organic products. I make a combination of coconut oil, almond oil and grape seed oil. These are deeply nourishing for the skin, emanate a blissful fragrance and leave a light and pleasant feeling on the body.
Occasionally I use organic macerated oils. Plants such as Comfrey, Calendula or Arnica are infused in Sunflower oil and spread their healing properties through the skin. I will ask your consent before to use any of these.
Coming to Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage is to come to your Self, to Life and its beauty. Each session will be tailored for you, to unwind, relax and make the most out of your session. You will find a space of peace and rest within yourself that you never knew existed.
