Lomilomi

Students of Kumu Keonaona Kalua of Waianae, Kathy and Liza are honored to practice this ancient Hawaiian art for healing the spirit, mind and body. Auntie Keonaona's school Ho'ola Mai Ke Alaula (Healing from the New Age) begins with several days of formal instruction, and then expands into a 400 hour community service practicum. Liza and Kathy received their certification as Native Hawaiian Practitioners in 2002.

Lomilomi is a holistic practice which alleviates stress, headaches, muscle aches, carpel tunnel, tennis elbow, digestive difficulties, back problems and emotional / spiritual challenges. The muscles are worked using the whole hand, with the focus on the areas of need as stated by the client. The touch may be gentle or deep as needed. Herbs may be prescribed, and prayer is the foundation of the practice.
