Course Description:
This is a 1500-year-old technique that aims at releasing all PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL congestion in the body, with a full body massage.

The therapist and client will become entranced in a spiritual state. You will learn how to transform a loving touch into techniques for healing. The basis for Lomi Lomi is an integration of Mind – Body – Soul in a ritual of transformation and inspiration. The inspiration is from the Huna or “Pathway of life “.
