Lomi Lomi One
Your introduction to Lomi Lomi begins with a consideration of the history and cultural significance of this ancient healing practice. Students will study the sound theoretical basis for the practical application of the Lomi Lomi techniques that were developed by the Hawaiian Kahunas and handed down through families for generations.

The bulk of the time in class is spent learning the practical application of Lomi Lomi strokes by hands on practice. Lomi Lomi One is offered in a twelve hour format and concentrates on Aunty Margaret's posterior sequence. Lomi Lomi One can be taken before or after Lomi Lomi Two. Because the class spans two days there is often opportunity for students to gather in the evening for additional study and practice.

Lomi Lomi Two
This entry level class can be taken before or after Lomi Lomi One. This class will review or introduce the historical and cultural significance of this ancient healing practice.

Lomi Lomi Two concentrates on Aunty Margaret's anterior sequence. This session includes the face, neck, chest, abdomen and legs. Passive stretching and range of motion techniques play an important role in Aunty's anterior sequence. Like all Lomi classes, this is a hands on learning experience. Offered in an eight or twelve hour format there is ample opportunity for students to practice the techniques.

Lomi Lomi One and Two
Lomi Lomi One and Two can be combined to create an in depth three day learning experience. This format allows the student to earn 24 CEU's and better internalize the spiritual nature of this work as they give and receive several massages.

Lomi Lomi Three
Students who have successfully completed Lomi Lomi One and Two are eligible to enroll in Lomi Lomi Three. This section is built on the solid foundation of prior studies and focuses on the remediation of injuries. Aunty's techniques to treat muscle spasm, shock, specific shoulder injuries and Bell's Palsy are included. This one day class adds several side lying techniques to the therapist's bag of tools.

The Lomi Lomi Retreat
Lomi Lomi One, Two and Three can be combined into a five day intensive. This workshop is generally held at a retreat or park facility where the students can live as an o'hana and immerse themselves in the Lomi Lomi experience.
