Heartworks Lomi Lomi

Heartworks Lomi Lomi is 'Old Style' Hawaiian touch medicine. It is an expression of love from the heart shared through the hands. One of the meanings of the word lomi is to take and turn, to shift. This energy shifting quality of Lomilomi can change your mind, body, emotions and life for the better

Heartworks Lomi Lomi was founded by Sherman Dudoit, a Hawaiian teacher who has blended ancient and modern techniques to form a powerful integrated bodywork that is safe for all and has few if any known contra-indications.

This flowing style of Hawaiian bodywork includes long fluid rhythmic strokes over the whole body. This creates a dance like movement, which with deep breathing leaves the practitioner in a clear meditative space and the client in a state of peace. The natural healing mechanism of the body are stimulated encouraging them to release energy blockages, allowing mana (life-force/spirit) to flow effortlessly, increasing circulation and cleansing the body of toxins.

Kahi Loa

To the ancient Hawaiians everything in existence was alive and had an energy vibration or 'mana'. Without mana, nothing could be. Living their lives close to Nature they perceived themselves a part of it. They thought of all of life as One, made up of seven vital elements - fire,wind, water, stone, plants, animals and humans.With their deep understanding of the laws of nature they were able to invoke and utilise the spirit of each element and channel its mana through healing touch.

Kahi Loa means "Permanent Oneness". It is a shamanic form of Lomi Lomi massage done fully clothed without oil. The head to toe massage is performed in seven stages, on both the front and back of the body with the practitioner lightly raking, rolling, pinching, pressing, tapping, squeezing and sweeping their hands over the entire body while using visualisation techniques to invoke the elements. This action of working on the skin has a deep and profoundly relaxing effect on the muscles and bones, allowing toxins to be released on a physical mental and emotional level. The process encourages the production of endorphins or 'feel good factors' along with triggering the bodies own natural healing processes in an enviroment suported by the forces of nature. Leaving you feeling deeply relaxed with a wonderful sense of quiet inner calm.
