Lomi Lomi is one of the most profound forms of massage. It is a unique healing massage derived from the ancient Polynesians and more specifically the master healers of Hawaii. One of the alternative names for Lomi Lomi is the ‘Loving hands’ massage. The reason for this is that it works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be. Lomi Lomi helps to release any energy blockages within the body and assists in balancing the physical, mental and emotional well-being. This full body massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people have described this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the body. Another feature is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, for example one shoulder may be being massaged and at the same time the opposite hip may be being worked upon. This assists the recipient in totally relaxing as it is difficult for the brain to focus on two different areas at once, this tends to send the recipient into a deeper level of relaxation as you really can’t focus on the hands doing different things. A balancing and harmonising treatment - it really is a blissful experience. Champneys are proud to say that Lomi Lomi is through to the final of the Good Spa Guide Awards in the Most Marvellous Massage category.
