What is Lomi Lomi body work?

Lomi Lomi is a Hawaiian massage or( body work) that experienced on a wholistic level. It has the potential to heal, not only a physical level but on a mental, emotional, energetic and even spiritual level. Fiona works with each individual to taylor your experience to your specific needs.

What are the benefits of Lomi massage? Please see Services page

How is Inspiring heart's Lomi massage different to standard massage?

  1. Heart centred Fiona's heartfelt massage is received by the client thorough the nurturing touch and caring support Fiona intuitively offers in her service. In Lomi you are treated with compassion not as a number.
  2. Flow like the waves of the ocean, Lomi is preformed as a dance. The strokes are fluid and rhythmic taking you out of your head and into your body.
  3. Honouring As in yoga we say Namaste( may the light in me honour the light in you) and as the Hawiians great us with Aloha(unconditional Love) the Intention is transfers from one to another. Lomi's honouring touch, has the ability transfer the sacred love into healing.
  4. Presence Fiona holds the space for you to be fully present and held in a way that you can if needed, let go of emotions through tears, knowing you are completely and lovingly supported.
  5. Time out Vacate your mind and go on a journey as you embody the flowing strokes of Lomi. Be transported to another place as you feel more into your body and reconnect to your Soul.
  6. Energy work As human's we are light energy. Along our journey in our physical and external world we are tested with stress and trauma that blocks our energy. The core element of Lomi is to transmute heavy energy through the flowing strokes of Lomi and the Pranic energy healing intention from Fiona, removes stagnant energy to prevent illness and offer balance and flow as each human should experience
  7. Appropriate Pressure Fiona intuitive massage allows her to feel your needs in your experience. Mindful and present, Fiona offers moderate to firm pressure to fully imbrace your experience.

Why do  do a minimum 1.5 hour massage session? In our fast past world, fast food ect, we are conditioned to rushing. Lomi can not be rushed, Hawaiian body work is a nourishing deep immersion where you give yourself permission to fully let go. 1.5 hours allows you to move through the stages of energy release and rejuvenation and time is required to process the transformation .

How should I prepare for my Massage? 

  • Ensure that you are fresh and clean ( a shower is available for an extra cost of $15)
  • Don't wash your hair, prepare to get oil in your hair.
  • Please arrive on an empty stomach. This could cause you discomfort as there is some light belly massage and time lying on your belly.
  • Please arrive on time, so we can set an intension and you don't lose time from your session.
  • Check in to how you are feeling and your needs for the day each visit you may require a shift in your body.

What draping(covering for the body) do you provide? no jewellery or clothing is worn for a uninterrupted flow of Lomi. At a minimum there is draping of the buttocks and groin. Partial chest massage is offered as an option at the beginning and during your massage. Full respect is given at all times.

What pressure should I ask for? Fiona uses intuition as her guide as she connects with you. With intention we connect to with the ancient Hawaiian Lomi gift. Together with compassionate nurturing and flow,  we connect into the individual needs, like insuring that if you are feeling emotionally sensitive, you may be more likely to be ready to surrender (again always check in with yourself in the moment).

Do we talk during the massage?  Talking is very minimal, remember for your highest good, we aim to vacate the mind. Of course if something is needed, (toilet/ tissue/ect).

What oil do you use for massage? I love to use Organic Coconut oil as its fragrant free and its natural scent takes you to Island holiday. It also has moisturising benifits for the skin.

Do you do Energy Work? Yes. Together with flow and Pranic healing techniques, Lomi supports Energy healing. Throughout the session we call upon energies to support clearing and nourishing to raise your vibration.

How often should I get a massage? How frequently you receive a massage is an individuals preference. Like maintaining your car, regular service supports a better running vehicle. Some options for a massage (1-3) weeks in the beginning and then (1-3) monthly. Holistic Lomi is an invaluable tool for everyones well-being.

What if I fall asleep during my massage? It is not suggested to fall asleep during your session, however it just means your mind won't benefit so much as if you were to preferably be semi conscious.  Your physical, energetic or emotional healing will still receive the benefits if you were to :)

Do you provide sexual massage? No

Do you do couples massage? Some couples come for a session one after the other.

Do you provide mobile services? No

Do you work externally for Retreat facilitators? Yes
