LomiLomi Classes
Testimonial From Mariah S : If you are considering
attending; this is a life changing moment. It is challenging for me to
put in words how powerful this work it, and Gloria has a gift for
teaching it. She is someone who can guide a group of people through
transformation and deep healing, and that is something that
cannot be said by most people. I have great respect for her as a
healer and human. Gloria has learned healing from an authentic wisdom
tradition, she walks her talk and is a true example of bodhisattva
activity in this deeply confused world. Please do yourself a favor and
take this opportunity to remember your true identity and mission in this
life: to love and to shine forth from your heart. If that is your
intention, Lomi will help you to that end.
If you have been interested in Lomi, however you are not sure if you are ready for the intensive traditional training or don't have time yet; perhaps this introduction to this sacred art is the class for you.
Introductory lomi classes are generally 2 day workshops that introduce spiritual culture and history of hawaiian massage. I also offer a 5 day intensive class and a retreat style training.
The lomi lomi training is designed to give you an overview of what to expect when you decide you are ready to commit on a deeper level.
Lomi is more than massage. It is a path to the discovery of self. It is a connection with Divine and all that is Sacred. It is love.
The two day workshop introduces you to the forearm techniques so popular in the prone position. You will practice using your forearm along the back and legs. In addition you will practice one of the ancient dances that is integral in learning lomi. It will assist you in the fluidness and gracefulness so often admired when witnessing a lomi session. This dance provides for much more than you will even be aware at first.
The 5 day intensive includes techniques for the whole body.
Many students have asked about the draping techniques and what is required. Please know and understand that while limited draping may be applied, one must always drape their client to their level of comfort and security.
The principles of the huna are very necessary elements of Lomi. In this workshop we will explore the basic concepts of these principles. In the intensive courses we delve deeper into these principles and exercises are provided for you to practice on a regular basis.
The Breath of Ha is the life force, the element of God and all that is. We learn about the use of Ha and connecting to the forces or ancient ones that guide us in our healing sessions.
Lomi is not something you learn in a few days. This basic outline gives you a great sense of the depth and transformation that is possible when giving and receiving this work.
If you feel you are ready to explore this traditional healing method I have arranged for a few Introductory classes for your exploration.

With the use of Lomilomi, massage therapists can enhance their practice in a variety of ways:
- Attend this seminar and learn more than just another technique; learn a new nurturing loving touch to provide to your clients.
- Take the stress off your hands by learning Lomilomi and how to correctly use your forearms for a complete process you can integrate into your current massage.
- Lomi also teaches many range of motion and stretching techniques.
- Other modalities are integrated in Lomilomi and although it appears to be a light touch, it can actually be performed very deep if and when the body is ready to open and receive.
- Skills are taught to enhance the intuition of the practitioner so they may attune to what technique the clients body really needs.
- Lomilomi requires a commitment to healing oneself, too. Students will learn more about themselves
and what their purpose in life might be. They will learn how to honor
and respect the earth and how to bring harmony and unity to community
(lokahi).
- Lomilomi brings the practitioner to a deeper or more connected level to a spiritual side of healing work.
- Learn the origins and history of Lomilomi.
- Find the common denominator with Lomilomi: compassion.
It is a heart-centered healing modality that provides for a deep
healing space, some of which is beyond explanation in words. One must
experience it to truly understand its power.
