What to expect from Hawaiian massage? Lomilomi, (Hawaiian: masseur, masseuse) is the word used today to describe Hawaiian massage, traditionally called lomi. Traditionally, lomilomi was practiced in 4 contexts: (1) as part of the healing practice of native healers (kahuna la’au lapa’au – medical doctors – and kahuna ha ha – diagnosticians); (2) as a luxury of life and an aid to digestion of the ruling chiefs (ali’i); (3) as restorative massage within the family; and (4) by olohe lua (masters of the Hawaiian martial art) to understand how the body works (so as to maim and kill) and to remedy injuries among fellow warriors. (source: en.wikipedia.org) Be aware: Hawaiian massage & Lomilomi!!! Lomilomi is now a common and popular form of massage throughout the world, especially in Hawai'i, Japan and Europe. Traditionally taught lomilomi practitioners are generally unwilling to work at just any spa or massage parlor. They prefer to treat selected clients quietly and privately, often in home settings. Lomilomi practitioners may also ask their clients to pray, meditate, change their diets, and engage in other self-help activities usually believed to lie outside the scope of massage. Lomilomi is a holistic healing tradition beyond simple massage.
