Lomilomi Salon

We would like to suggest the following to maximize the benefits of your treatment:

• Please be free of any alcohol or mind-altering drugs in order for us to treat you.
• Have your last meal, preferably light, one hour before appointment time and stay hydrated.

Prior to your treatment, we will have a discovery session. This is a good time to advise us of any sensitives, skin allergies or if you have a particular area of your body that has pain or needs attention. You will be able to relax and talk freely with your therapist.

At this time, you will be asked to share information about your health condition, any worries, problems, or troubles that could possibly be causing stress. Stress can cause tension in your body that can lead to other ailments. We believe that the mind and body are connected so we like to take a holistic approach to support you.

Our therapists will advise you based on selected Hawaiian Values. Hawaiian Values are considered a part of the culture and philosophy. This useful knowledge may offer a good hint into your everyday concerns and help to bring balance back into your life as needed

For your convenience, we will provide you with a pareo (a kind of sarong made of a single straight piece of printed cotton cloth, worn by Polynesians) to change into before your treatment, so you don’t need to worry about clothing.

We use a proprietary blend of highly permeable massage oil. It is a combination of mainly organic macadamia nut oil with Hawaiian flower essence and a little peanut oil. A lighter lotion is available upon request.

Our therapist trained in the Hawaiian lomilomi tradition will work on your back, legs, foot, neck, head, face, and stomach.
They will look for and open any areas of blocked, stagnant or slow energy and invite you to release anything that no longer serves you.
This can be a freeing and healing experience for you.

Ho’oponopono uses a process of forgiveness and love to release any unwanted memories or disharmony that you may be holding on to.
This is a technique from ancient times and is one the most important processes in lomilomi.

Ho’oponopono provides you with an opportunity to release any negative feelings such as a painful memory and trauma, then fill it with heartwarming mana (energy) to restore balance and purify your body. You may feel a sense of renewal and rejuvenation.

Tomoko is a teacher and therapist of lomilomi healing massage and yoga. She has also created a proprietary method combining the two called LomiYoga™. Tomoko was ordained as a Kahu (Hawaiian equivalent of a priest or pastor) and now holds the title of Kahu Kehaulani. Kahu Kehaulani is the first person living in Japan who was given the title of Kahu. She is the official successor to her teacher Kumu Karen Leialoha Carroll, who passed away on September 2019.

Kahu Kehaulani also holds the designation of Po’okela. It is the highest title of a lomilomi therapist given by her teacher, Kumu Karen. This honor allows one to teach Kumu Karen’s method of lomilomi healing massage. This designation was granted to only two people out of thousands of students. Kehaulani studied under Kumu Karen for over ten years and her style of lomilomi is full of gentleness and Aloha (love).

Kahu Kehaulani is also a spiritual advisor and mentor who performs weddings and personal and business blessings and cleansings. She also holds 5 Day Healing Journey retreats in Japan and Hawaii.
