Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage
TRAINING
The Institute of Living Aloha offers transformative trainings for those called to learn lomilomi and walk the path of aloha in both practice and daily life.
Grounded in Hawaiian culture and worldview, our teachings recognise lomilomi as far more than physical therapy. While technique is important, the true foundation is relationship — between hands and heart, practitioner and receiver, body and spirit. We honour the lineage, protocol, and ʻike (wisdom) shared through Hawaiian Kūpuna (Elders) and our Kūmu (teachers).
Our 6-day Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage training welcomes both new and experienced practitioners into an immersion in compassionate healing touch, presence, integrity, and joyful service.
For those called to deepen further, Professional Pathways are available toward Practitioner Certification, joining our Practitioner Team, and, where appropriate, Teacher Training — all offered with care, discernment, and deep respect for kuleana (responsibility) to lineage, community, and culture.
At every level, we steward lomilomi as a living tradition, upheld with humility, cultural respect, and the spirit of aloha.
Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage SESSIONS
~ Available in QLD, NSW, ACT + VIC ~
Lomilomi takes you on a journey — calming the mind, opening the heart,
and inviting the spirit to be present.
Through long flowing strokes, gentle stretches, natural oils,
and soothing music within a safe and nurturing space,
you are invited into deep relaxation, healing, and harmony.
Gentle yet profound, lomilomi can support the release of tension and
energetic blockages, while allowing emotional, mental, and spiritual shifts
to unfold. Many people experience a deeper connection to themselves,
their body, and their inner essence.
Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage is an oil-based full body massage
that includes the chest and heart area, while the genitals remain securely
covered with a sarong at all times for modesty.
Although these sessions work holistically with the whole being,
we do not work with sexual energy.
“The heart of lomilomi is love and respect for others.
Lomilomi gives love and it is therefore one of the true acts of human kindness
and one of the greatest healing arts.”
— Chai, Na Mo'olelo Lomilomi (2005)
Paʻa Sessions
~ Available with Charlie Snow
online via Zoom ~
Do you want to live with more authenticity, connection, purpose, and joy?
Paʻa Sessions are designed to support you in building an unshakeable foundation within yourself — helping you feel grounded, clear, and aligned
with what is truly pono (right) for you.
Blending counselling approaches, Hawaiian wisdom, and reflective practice, these sessions offer a safe and supportive space for personal growth, mentoring, and professional supervision.
Paʻa Sessions are available for lomilomi students, lomilomi practitioners,
and anyone who feels called to this work.
