TIME TO RECONNECT:SPIRITUALLY FOCUSED MASSAGE

When I started massage therapy school it was with the intention of blending
the physical aspect of bodywork with my background in Shamanism, energy work and as a Reiki Master.

Now that I am an established massage therapist at Peaceful Spirit I want to begin offering our clients more spiritually focused treatments. Primarily because people don’t take or schedule the time to put themselves in a place where they can connect with their spirit and reach a deeper state of healing.

These sessions will preferably be 90-120 minutes in length in order to provide
ample time for each client to achieve the inmost state of relaxation. Then, to allow the time to experience their own process of healing while they are in that space before I gradually lead them back from that space.

In order to help each client achieve this deepest state of relaxation I can choose from many different methods of energetic healing. These include Reiki, Reflexology, Craniosacral Therapy, Shamanic Healing or a combination of any of these according to each individuals needs.

After studying with a Shaman for over six years I have learned that many of the methods I use in healing can be classified under the heading of “Shamanic Healing.”

As a Traditional Dreamer Initiate I am able to access the “dream time” and discover the best methods to utilize in facilitating the healing process of each client.

Time to Reconnect: Lomi Lomi, Ke Ala Hoku

I have attended an intensive workshop to study Lomi Lomi, Ke Ala Hoku. I am very excited to bring this Ancient and Sacred Healing Art to Tucson and to Peaceful Spirit.

There are many forms of Lomi Lomi. The Hawaiian term Lomi Lomi simply means to knead or massage. In the temples of ancient Hawaii, Hawaiian Shaman practiced a unique form of Lomi Lomi known as ‘Ke Ala Hoku,’ meaning "Pathway to the Stars." This form of Hawaiian Temple Bodywork was designed to awaken and enlighten the being within the physical body; to awaken one’s true calling in life and to provide a space for transformation and receiving visions.

Lomi also means to weave. By weaving light, love and Spirit it is possible to unweave the unhealthy patterns in the body, unravel old wounds and out-dated belief systems.

Ke Ala Hoku, "Pathway to the Stars," is a specific spiritual tradition of Lomi Lomi. It’s intention is to reawaken the body to its divine connection with Spirit and to release that which prevents the recipient from experiencing themselves in the most authentic sense.

Hawaiian Temple Bodywork, or Lomi Lomi, provides a sacred space of unconditional love and acceptance for the client to let go and surrender to the guidance of their own spirit.

My most sincere hope is that after I return from refreshing my own body and spirit- while learning this new and exciting form of healing and bodywork- you will make time for yourself and join me at Peaceful Spirit for your first of many Lomi Lomi sessions.

“Lomi Lomi was designed to enlighten the being in the physical body and awaken
the recipient to their calling.Being present in each moment and offering total
love and acceptance is at the heart of this sacred practice.” Tom Cochran
