THE HEART OF LOMILOMI
More than a LomiLomi retreat—this is an invitation to step into a living tradition, to join an ʻohana connected by the spirit of Aloha. Here, touch is more than technique; it is a language of presence, a pathway to well-being, and a connection to the wisdom of those who came before us.
Deepen your role as a conduit for healing, guided by the hands of your ancestors. This training goes beyond bodywork—it is a full immersion into the heart of LomiLomi, where learning is woven with ceremony, hula, and the nourishment of mind, body, and spirit.
Together, we celebrate, we move, we heal, and we grow.
