Lomi Lomi is the Dance of Massage Techniques
Hawaiian
Healing Arts was created to carry on the life work and
teachings of native Hawaiian healer and Kahuna, Auntie Margaret Machado.
In 1973 Auntie began teaching Lomi Lomi, a Hawaiian massage tradition
that was formerly taught only within the Hawaiian family.
One of her first three students was Tamara Mondragon, who
apprenticed with Auntie Margaret at her home in Captain Cook, Hawaii.
There was
no formal school then, and Tamara feels honored to have received
such pure knowledge directly from the source, and privileged to teach
it in our workshops. Licensed since 1974,
Tamara has shared Lomi Lomi with many friends and clients. She has
also authored a cover
story for Massage Magazine and co-created three instructional
videos.
Lomilomi combines the use of prayer (pule), breath (ha), and energy
(mana) with a variety of massage strokes to release areas of congestion
in the body. Lomilomi improves physical and athletic performance
through the rhythmic application of thumbs, knuckles, forearms and
elbows to specific areas of tension.
Lomilomi relaxes the nervous system, increases circulation and
creates a tangible sense of well being. It is useful for maintaining
health, and relieving pain from injury and debilitating illness.
It is the "dance of massage," and is as wonderful to give
as to receive.
