The Lomi Lomi massage has its origins on the Hawaiian Islands. Surrounded by the endless Pacific, shaped by a life in harmony with the rhythms and primal forces of nature, the fluid, the supportive, the enveloping, and the protective aspects of this massage are understandable, and it seems logical that this way of massaging and touching has been shown to the people of Hawaii.

Originally, this full-body massage is a healing practice of Hawaiian families. It was also practiced as a ritual transitional ceremony for various occasions and in sacred places.

Hawaiian families often had their own style, which they passed down from generation to generation. This explains why the Lomi Lomi massage is performed very differently (We Swabians know this principle of diversity well from our countless variations of Maultaschen. :-). On the Hawaiian Islands and occasionally on the mainland, Lomi Lomi is even performed with sticks and feet.

Here, the Hawaiian massage is mainly performed with fingers, hands, and forearms. And this is also my way of giving the Hawaiian massage.
