Heartspire Lomilomi is a dance with the body/mind/spirit of the practitioner and the recipient. In these workshops you learn to glide with soft and deep hands and forearms, using your bodyweight to create depth with ease, as you apply these flowing techniques and create a session of bodywork that leaves your client with the feeling of being embraced by the ocean, rocked, stretched, lengthened, and revitalized. The massage strokes are done with forearms, soft and deep hands, and bodyweight for depth and pressure, and with rhythmic patterns, with purposeful meaning and story behind them. Your clients are invited to feel what is happening within themselves and to let feelings stored in their tissue be freed on multiple levels, such as, releasing pain and restriction in muscles, joints, and organs, and to simply rest at a deeper level. Kim will lay the foundation of the lomilomi strokes through teaching the metaphysical story of the body, using prayer, and intention to align the different aspects of the Father/Mother/Child within. Kim will share how she has made lomilomi her own, touching on the wisdom and aloha of the ten lomi teachers she has studied with since 1990. These course is an NCBTMB approved class.
