ABOUT LOMI LOMI
Lomi Lomi is a restorative Hawaiian massage that works gently, yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes. This allows the recipient to relax due to the hypnotic effect, bringing your mind to a place of absolute stillness. Lomi Lomi aids in relieving physical pain and emotional distress. It is a remedial style massage that treats muscular, lympathic, circulatory, nervous, digestive and respiratiory systems of the body. It is also an energy form of massage. Through its rhythm and patterns it activates meridians and energy points, releases energetic blocks and allows the bodies own healing process to take over.
Touch, rhythm and ancient wisdom come together, allowing deep healing to occur.
Kahuna, Sherman Dudoit who passed the lineage on to Dawn Charlton describes this nurturing and loving form of massage perfectly…
“One of the most essential imperatives of this tradition is that Lomi Lomi was a modality of pure love. The work must come from the heart and through the hands resulting in healing and bonding at a level beyond comprehension by the mind; it is a movement of pure love and grace, even to observe a “treatment” is to receive it…. This is the way of traditional Lomi Lomi in the old style.”
(Sherman Dudoit, Dawn Charlton’s Kahu/teacher)
Traditional Old Style Lomi Lomi
Lomi Lomi is a traditional healing practice and style of massage which originated in ancient Polynesia. Lomi Lomi literally means to “knead or to squeeze and to make soft”. Lomi Lomi was such an integral part of the Polynesian culture, it began at birth with mothers Lomi’ing their newborns, especially the stomach and feet using primarily coconut oil resulting in great health. It was a protected, sacred practice, kept strict in its content by the passing on in a lineage form, from master to disciple and kept very strictly in the blood line of family, except in rare cases. The entire population was nurtured and strengthened by this healing practice until the arrival of the missionaries when this practice was forced to go underground. Kahuna’s meaning “one who has mastered the secrets”, or “keeper of the secrets” fortunately continued to pass on this beautifully healing tradition.
Traditional Old Style Lomi Lomi has it’s roots in this ancient tradition. It is a style of massage that has been practiced in Hawaii for hundreds of years. It has been carefully and respectfully passed down through a lineage to ensure that it remains unchanged from the original form. Dawn Charlton holds the unique and highly honoured position of being the first non-Hawaiian and first woman to be passed on the direct lineage of the “Traditional Old style Hawaiian Lomi Lomi.” Dawn is a remarkable healer and teacher who is passionately committed to ensuring this tradition is passed on with great respect, integrity and purity.
Taught by lineage holder, Dawn Charlton in "Traditional Old Style Lomi Lomi", Caroline works from the heart using her intuition and extensive massage skills to bring you the highest level of healing. She considers it a great honour and priviledge to be part of a tradition of healing which has remained pure and unchanged from its original form.
