Transformational Polynesian Bodywork & Lomi Lomi Retreat in Mexico

Aloha 🌺 With deep pride and gratitude, I am honored to announce this Polynesian Lomi Lomi Bodywork Retreat in Mexico!

Lomi Lomi embraces many different styles. The form of Lomi Lomi most widely known in the West originates from the native-born Hawaiian Kahu Abraham Kawai’i. His work, often referred to as Temple Bodywork or Temple Lomi Lomi, is a direct inspiration for my own practice and teaching. Kahu Abraham Kawai’i was one of the first Hawaiians to share this profound and sacred wisdom internationally. My Lomi Lomi training stems directly from this lineage.

In addition, I have been blessed to receive valuable cultural teachings, including Ho’oponopono, both online and in person in Hawai’i, from Kumu Kawika Foster. I also had the privilege of learning Lomi Lomi from him. He belongs to an ancient line of wisdom keepers from Moloka’i.
Out of deep reverence for their work and traditions, I always honor and name my teachers with respect.

It is my heartfelt intention to preserve the original spirit and purity of these traditions and to share them from a place of Aloha, reverence, and gratitude.
