HAWAIIAN LOMILOMI MASSAGE
Lomilomi, the traditional Hawaiian massage, it is an ancient form of healing massage practiced by indigenous Polynesians. Lomilomi is also known as “loving hands”.
It is a loving massage in that the practitioner touches and treats the client with love, respect and compassion.
As the practitioner works intuitively, a massage can be very slow and relaxing or sometimes a little faster, more lively and invigorating for the body.
The massage works by stimulating the natural flow of energy within the body in order to bring about changes in the physical, emotional and spiritual areas. There are also lot's of gentle body stretches are involved in Lomilomi massage. Stress and tension is released so that energy can flow freely once more. It is also deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. Lomilomi is good for:
-detoxification and waste removal
-improving the immune system
-stimulating lymphatic, circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems
-releasing muscle tension
-improving flexibility
-improving muscle tone
During Lomilomi massage the whole body can be massaged at the same time. This helps the client to relax completely because it is very difficult for the brain to focus on two different sectors at the same time.
Lomilomi is the most loving, nurturing, therapeutic, unique & beautiful style of massage and two massages are never identical.
It helps to be in touch with your inner true self & beauty, love, harmony & balance within yourself. Would you wish to start this beautiful journey today?
FAR INFRARED SAUNA THERAPY
Would you like to come and see for yourself how it feels like to be refreshed, renewed, energized & speed up your recovery in just 30 minutes???
What is an infrared sauna?
Because infrared light has no ultra-violet rays, it is actually as beneficial, but much safer than natural sunlight. It is also more effective than steam because the infrared light penetrates the body so quickly and safely.
Using Infrared heaters, these saunas emit radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the body, whereas traditional saunas transmit heat indirectly via steam. Infrared saunas are therefore considered to be more effective. Health therapists have been using this technology for some time to treat joint and muscular ailments.
Benefits of infrared sauna
Infrared sauna has a number of benefits, including:
- Relieve joint & muscular stress. The infrared energy released by an Infrared Sauna can penetrate up to 4cm into muscular tissue. 93% of this energy is absorbed through our skin. By heating these tissues, we experience reducing in muscle spasms, joint stiffness and achiness, as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
- Help immune system.
- Skin benefits.
- Strengthening the cardio-vascular system.
- Relieving stress and relaxing the body.- Releasing new energy and reducing fatigue.
- Weight loss.
- Improving sleep.
However, the benefits are not just for young professional athletes because the micro-trauma that professional sportsmen impact on their bodies is actually very similar to the long term age related damage that our bodies experience with normal wear and tear over time. And as such the benefits of improved healing are similar for older people as well as the young and active.
So if you are suffering yourself with aches and pains and recurring injury we highly recommend that you step up the level of sessions to a minimum of 2-3 per week and ensure you maximize your bodies ability to heal itself. This is especially important during the cold winter months when you are more likely to injure yourself due to reduced blood circulation and colder muscles.
Make sure you are adequate hydrated before and after a sauna.

HAWAIIAN KAHI LOA
Kahi Loa is one of the ancient Hawaiian systems of bodywork that fall under the general category of lomi-lomi. It's unique features are that it works on the skin instead of the muscles; that it uses no oil; and that the client is fully clothed.
Kahi is a word which means oneness, fire, and a light pressure used in the treatment. Kahi Loa (Great Kahi) is a healing system that involves the mind, body and energy of both the practitioner and the client. Like all Hawaiian healing systems, it's purpose is to promote the free and abundant flow of life (energy) in the client.
The Seven Principles of Huna (related to bodywork):
- The world is what you think it is
- There are no limits
- Energy flows where attention goes
- Now is the moment of power
- To love is to be happy with
- All power comes from within
- Effectiveness is the measure of truth
(From the notes by Serge Kahili King, Ph.D.)
REIKI
What is Reiki?
A Japanese word meaning spiritual/universal energy. Reiki is not a massage, it's a simple stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. This energy flows through the body restoring health & harmony & balancing your energy system. Reiki can improve your life in many ways...
Physical
Reiki helps you strengthen your immune system & speeds up the natural healing process.
Mental
By calming your mind you can alleviate stress.
Emotional
Helps you balance your emotional highs & lows and disperse fears.
Spiritual
Develop & trust your intuition. Relax & get in touch with your inner spiritual thoughts.
A client is fully clothed during the treatment, so it's good to wear comfortable clothing. The Reiki practitioner's hands are placed on the client's body and with the hands just off the body. The energy flows not from the practitioner but through the practitioner, to the client. The client's body then begins a process that is called cleansing.
Reiki treatments are appropriate for all family members, including children and pregnant women. Reiki is a very gentle & pleasurable therapy that offers comfort, nurture and support for the good health and balance of your mind, body and emotions.

2. Local: Removal of pain, relaxation of stiff muscles, improvement of muscle and joint movement.
Cupping stimulates the sensory nerves of the skin. Cupping is like massage effective against stress, general fatigue, chronic headaches, stiff shoulders and mucle and joint pain
What to expect during and after Cupping:
The patient should experience a warm, pulling, stretching sensation on the skin, but not pain.
After Cupping the skin is almost always discoloured with a bruising or ring mark caused by the edge of the cup. The extent of the bruise depends on the length of the treatment time and the strength of the suction. Normally the ring mark will disappear within a week, in some cases in a few weeks.
However if you choose a gliding Cupping treatment, then there will be no ring marks left on your skin.
You may prefer to combine Cupping with your massage treatment to benefit more!
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Specially trained practitioners, use a combination of Swedish and Remedial Massage techniques, to assist with the tensions and pains experienced during pregnancy. These are often caused by the extra weight and shift in the centre of gravity. There are many physical benefits to Pregnancy Massage, in addition to the nurturing and emotional support provided by the practitioner. Massage reduces peripheral swelling, soothes the nervous system, helps to prevent insomnia, muscle cramps and back pain.
Care must be taken during the first trimester but Pregnancy Massage is beneficial throughout the whole pregnancy. Various techniques are used as the client progresses through the pregnancy and massage may be performed whilst she is lying on her side or on a special table that allows her to lie on her stomach. Once the pregnancy is advanced, she is discouraged from lying on her back as this may cause pressure on deep blood vessels.
Did you know that regular massage throughout the pregnancy is also said to shorten labour time and the return to optimal fitness after birth?Your therapist will gently nurture you and your baby through pregnancy.
