ABOUT NAOMI
Aloha, kia ora, hello. My ancestral homelands are in Europe including France, England, Scotland and Ireland and I was born and raised in Auckland. I have a business called The Lomi Room in Orakei, Auckland. I became a student of traditional lomi lomi (traditional Hawaiian massage) in 2010. I'm deeply grateful for the learning and growth I've received - but the learning never ends! I embrace the lomi lifestyle and return to Hawaii often to stay connected to the origin of these beautiful practices. I share lomi lomi with permission from my Hawaiian Kumu (teacher) and I am a member of 'Ahahui Lomilomi Hawai’i. My Kumu and those who went before her ask that lomi lomi be shared with the world and I have made this my work.

ABOUT TRADITIONAL LOMI LOMI
Traditional lomi lomi is the massage traditionally practised in Hawaii as part of a holistic lifestyle of caring for each other and self. It is an ancient healing art that is given with an open heart and loving touch. Traditional lomi lomi is a gentle but firm massage style that can go deep while minimising inflammation. It is prayerful, guided and holistic work on the physical, energetic and spiritual levels. If you have a sore body, tender heart or uneasy mind, traditional lomi lomi can help you.
