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.
Thai Foot Massage is a combination of the ancient healing arts of Reflexology, Shiatsu, Tuina, and Ayurvedic Yoga. Working with the feet, lower legs and knees, this 2000 year old, highly reputed treatment frees up blocked energy within the body’s many Sen Lines (Thai- based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.Thai Foot Massage is a gentle, yet firm treatment that incorporates the use of a wooden device called a Thai Stick to work areas of the feet. Working these areas increases blood and energy flow to the internal organs, glands and all parts of the body, allowing the body to return to a state of homeostasis.
