Reflexology

The ancient art of reflexology is a precise technique applied to specific points throughout the feet or hands. Reflexology promotes balance in physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels of the body. Stress, toxins and illness create blockages inhibiting the flow of energy. The reflexologist will use their thumbs and fingers to apply a firm pressure known as acupressure. This application stimulates the bodies own healing process as physiological changes are activated. The principle of this therapy is that the two feet represent the entire body incorporating each body system and including every gland and organ.

Lomi Lomi

Traditional old style Lomi Lomi massage is amongst one of the nurturing experiences that is practiced from the heart. “Old Style” combines almost endless methods, with “the laying on of the hands”, both in passive mod and active massage of Lomi Lomi. Always conducted with an open hand, rhythm is integral, the strokes are long and continuous, and ultimately hypnotic which acts to bring the mind to a place of absolute stillness. This “sanctuary” of the quiet mind is where true healing manifests.

One of the main goals of this method is to allow the practitioner to work from an understanding, that he or she is merely an instrument, through which Mana or life force is allowed to flow into the client.
