“Pamper yourself with a lomi lomi massage from Kumu Hula Mālia.
Her touch and calming energy is priceless!
Perfect after a long flight.”
– By Joy Lee.
Lomilomi
This traditional Hawaiian massage uses rhythmic movements to promote deep healing with the muscles. There are many styles of lomilomi but most affirm that prayer and loving touch are essential components.
Lomi A’e
Lomi A’e is a stepping style of Lomi that is done on the floor fully clothed and without the use of oil.
Swedish Massage
This Swedish style massage uses classic effleurage and petrissage techniques to improve circulation and relax muscles. Long, short and percussive strokes are also applied with the goal of free movement for the joints.
Prenatal Massage
This gently nurturing bodywork puts the mother’s comfort first. Your experienced therapist is also a mother and understands what you are going through.
