Gift Certificate for one mobile 2 hour session, for one person, consisting of a 60 minute Lomi Lomi Massage, immidiately followed by a 60 minute Reflexology Treatment, at your location within Kelowna, British Columbia.
Lomi Lomi is a deeply relaxing Hawaiian massage incorporates the use of hands and forearms in a full body massage. It is offered to Ladies Only. Broad strokes reaching from shoulder ridge to the ankle at the same time require the recipient to be fully undressed. Unlike most styles of massage, the gluteous muscles are also massaged. But fear not ladies, all private areas will be covered at all times, and only the part of the body being worked on will be exposed.
Reflexology is a holistic, complimentary healing therapy which works on the whole person from inside out, working beyond physical symptoms straight to their source within the body. Reflexology is based on the principle that reflex areas in the feet and/or hands correspond to all of the various organs, glands, and systems of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can relieve internal stresses and tension from all parts, glands and organs, aiding the natural healing processes and, thereby, restoring balance.
