Pregnancy massage

Derived from the master healers of ancient Hawaii, Lomi Lomi , also known as "Loving Touch" massage, works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be.

The Hawaiians view all aspects of the body as one and believe that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the "whole" self. When harmony is lacking, the effect is pain physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. When healing is effected on one level, all levels are affected.. Illness is a state of tension leading to resistance which blocks the movement of energy. Lomi Lomi helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing.

On the physical level, through Lomi Lomi, stress, tension, and the aches and pains of pregnancy are relieved, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated. Yayamama Midwifery offers Lomi Lomi massage at no additional cost to those midwifery clients who have an interest, throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Aloha.

During the massage, the Lomi Lomi practitioner will say a blessing or prayer asking for whatever healing is needed to take place. The recipient may also be asked to set their intention for any healing they would like to receive. The massage is then given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands ~ like gentle waves moving over the body. By not working on areas in isolation a deep sense of balance and harmony is achieved.

Dancework or hula movements, combined with the breathwork of the practitioner are also important and integral aspects of Lomi Lomi, assisting the energy flow both within the practitioner and recipient.
