~ Relaxation Lomilomi Massage ~
| |
Mana Lomi ® is a sacred Hawaiian massage that can be relaxing as well as solution-oriented for body aches. Involves fluid, rhythmic movement using forearms and hands depending on the part of the body being worked on. Come for relaxation and rejuvenation with an Aloha experience created for you.
From www.ManaLomi.com: "Mana Lomi ® is based on Hawaiian concepts of working with the body, mind and spirit. It is hands on healing that is deep and powerful, yet gentle, giving immediate and long-term results. Mana Lomi® symbolically means to communicate energetically deep within the bones of the individual thus the soul of the person. "
Testimonial : "Tara's Lomilomi massage is fantastic! I pulled a lower back muscle and was in pain while sitting, standing or walking. I have consistently received Swedish or Deep Tissue massages over the past several years and expected some relief from the Lomilomi massage. To my amazement, after the Mana Lomi massage the pain was completely gone! I am completely sold on this type of massage." RT, San Diego, CA, Retired Navy Captain

A specially designed session just for you where you choose a mixture of half massage and half energy work. Please read the information on the different types of Massage, Energy, or Shamanic healing you can combine. This work is about looking at yourself as a whole and knowing that issues first develop on the spiritual and eventually land in the physical like a meteor coming to earth. There are lessons we need to learn and if we are not getting them with the tap we might end up in the car accident having to really look at making a shift in our lives. It always leads us to our joy if you flow with life and grow. This work can be relaxing, in serenity, and silence or support you by having you engage in the work depending on the intention. It's the best of both worlds where you can feel good about the way you treat your body and soul!

Testimonial: "Mystical massage is definitely the best for me! It accomplishes the most and leaves me feeling deeply relaxed, which is great since I have trouble relaxing. I am suprised how deep we go in the sessions. I am never sore, which is what has happened with other massage therapists. The session is very effective & insightful. I walk away feeling more grounded, energized, I don't let my emotions guide me, and I feel I can step into my power!" J.P., MD, Seeker on my Journey

Your body just went through one of it greatest possible changes when it was carrying life. Now it is going through another great change as your body, mind, and spirit shift all over again as you settle in to care for your child. Your baby is welcomed to be with you and we can adjust for nursing if needed. Come and be nurtured and that will transfer to your baby as well.
Tell your friends massage gift certificates are available. They make a great (single or group) baby shower gift or let your loving partner know the importance that Mom's are nurtured at this time.

"The best way to evaluate whether we are moving in the direction of greater wellbeing is by listening to our inner messages of comfort or distress. Our highest evolutionary path is the one that generates the least resistance and the greatest joy." David Simon, M.D.
