Lomi Lomi Massage (available here until 15th September)
Dear Community! I am Mira! 
I am pleased to offer the healing power of Lomi Lomi for the West Coast Community of New Zealand. 
Lomi Lomi is a Sacred Massage originating from ancient Hawaii, known for its deeply nurturing and transformative effects.
Physical
Lomi Lomi is a full-body massage that uses warm oil and gentle yet firm long full-body strokes. Hands and forearms work mainly on the muscles for a complete treatment experience. Deeper tissues and specific areas, joint mobilization can also be addressed if needed.
Spiritual
The essence of Lomi Lomi lies in the power of aloha, carried through its ancient history. The practitioner channels this energy by starting the session with a prayer and remaining in a meditative, blissful state throughout the session. (Read more below… :))
By integrating these two aspects of life, Lomi Lomi helps you release tension, stress, and stored emotions from all levels of the body (physical, emotional, mental). The session reconnects you with your true nature, allowing you to feel liberated, nurtured, loved, and valued. 
My clients words:
“Best massage I have ever had.” – Leanne, Lisa (and others)
“I felt so much bliss.” -Kirsty
“It was perfect.”-Henna
“It is incredible what you do. I felt the connection with all the women in my lineage.” -Eleonora
“It was such a journey! At one point I felt like you had 7 hands”-Lisa
“Indeed a very good massage, got emotional for me..
some real magic working there!
I highly recommend to everyone that feels like needing a treat!” -Philipp
No gender or weight limitations.
You can come for spiritual healing, stress relief, body maintenance, or simply to try something new—all good intentions are welcome. 
I am available only until the 15th of September at Greenstone Retreat Kumara
Don’t hesitate to contact me for a booking or inquiry via PM on Messenger or call: +64274583301
More about Lomi-Lomi:
In ancient Hawaii, Lomi Lomi was used both for its therapeutic benefits and as part of ceremonial practices. It was often employed in rites of passage to support individuals in releasing past experiences, reconnecting with their true selves, and realizing their potential to contribute positively to the community.
Through the massage of soft and deep tissues, reaching all the way to the bones, old emotions, burdens, and false beliefs were released, allowing the individual to see and feel the present clearly.
This sacred knowledge was traditionally held by the kahuna—the healer and master of the tribe. It remained closely guarded until around 1970, when Auntie Margaret Machado began sharing it with the public.
What to expect:
Before the session:
As the session is a prayer itself, I ask my clients to set an intention for what they would like to dedicate the session to. Before the massage starts, they send this intention up to heaven with smoke in a short ceremony and hold it in their heart throughout the session.
(It can be as simple as letting go of stress or anything your heart is wishing for.)
During the session:
We start with a body awareness practice by scanning through the body from toes to head, bringing you into the present moment.
I always say a “pule” prayer at the beginning of the massage (asking God/Unconscious/Higher Self to bless the person with love, freedom, peace, power, wisdom) and at the end of the session (wishing for the intention to come true).
First half of the session happens in prone position (laying on the belly) the other half in a supine position (laying on the back). I will ask you to turn over about halfway through. Throughout the session, you will be covered, as it is not an intimate massage, though most of your body parts will be uncovered for the sensual, long, full-body strokes. (Underwear can be kept on. )
During the session, it’s good to breathe continuously, enjoy, and if emotions come up, let them be expressed. If you need to cry or scream, you can, but also know that their nature is to come and go, so don’t hold on to them.
In some cases, more than one session is needed to get comfortable in the space for significant release to happen. But continuous breathing and longer sessions are beneficial in this case as well.
If no emotional release happens during the session is also fine you will definitely have an amazing experience and enjoy the benefit of the session. It may happen afterwards in a day or two.
I will finish the session by washing your feet, symbolizing purity followed by the closing prayer and cleansing incense.
I will guide your presence back into the space and let you go with the warmth of ALOHA.
After the session:
Be gentle with yourself.
Give yourself time, be slow, and drink lots of water.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Warm hug.
Aloha
Mira
