  Recommendation from Professional Massage Trainer – Nalu Acupressure While suggesting personalized treatment plans for my clients, I also offer them some additional relaxation techniques to practice between sessions.In addition to techniques, I suggest using Nalu’s massage mat and acupressure mat that I sell online too.

Lomi Lomi Massage

  Lomi Lomi Massage We are asked many times what is Lomi Lomi Massage  Lomi Lomi  and I usually reply : Hawaiian Lomi massage is like no other massage you will ever experience and once you have tried it there is usually no going back to other styles of massage. It takes you on a heartfelt or sacred journey, it allows you to surrender yourself to your therapist as you have never before. Every time I receive Lomi lomi I feel something different and really find it hard to fully explain, so my best advice is to try  Lomi Lomi   for yourself and book in with a Lomi Lomi or Kahuna as its sometimes known, therapist. We have many therapists that we have trained here at nalu massage in Australia and New Zealand. Please contact me for a recommendation. You can also find  throughout the world many therapists have trained in this art of  bodywork and will give their own individual flow of  bodywork. You won’t regret it and every therapist will give something different which is just amazing. Someti

Hawaiian Chants and Prayers

  When we are massaging and healing in  Lomi Lomi  we use  Oli  – Hawaiian chants or prayers. We may be calling upon our spirit guides, angels and ancestors to share wisdom with us and to guide us on our healing journey. Hawaiian prayers are powerful and I like to use them at the start of a Lomi Lomi (kahuna) massage and also sometimes during a massage and at the end of the Lomi Lomi. There is no real right on wrong on this, it is entirely up to to the individual. In some cases I have given a full 90 minutes massage and done a silent prayer and no chanting and other times i felt the urge to chant out loud during the massage. I believe we are guided on this when we need it and its best to go with your flow. It helps you connect, to relax and to guide you. In ancient Hawaiian times prayers / Pule were used for many ceremonies and even today we use them to open the mind and allow spirit to help and guide us. These are some of our  Hawaiian chants  or prayer we use in Nalu Massage Training

Medical Massage Team as a volunteer at The Commonwealth Games

Medical Massage Team as a volunteer at The Commonwealth Games From the first shift until the last shift 15 days later I can honestly say it was a pleasure working in the Medical Massage Team for the Elite Athletes of the Commonwealth Games We even got to meet Borobi a number of times. Some of the Countries and Athletes that stand out in my memory like Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Seychelles, Trinidad, Uganda, Rwanda , Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada and many many more. They stand out in my mind for lots of reasons but for mostly their warm and friendly approach to us and also how they thanked us each and every time we helped them. It really does make the long hours and effort all worth it. If you have never Volunteered before I can really recommend it and it may not be for a big event like the Commonwealth however I am sure you will gain as much as I did. I came away feeling much richer in life from mixing with like-minded professionals to mixing with the elite athletes to making new friend

How heavy has your head become?

Image
  As a  massage therapist , one of the most common dysfunctions I see walk through my door is pain/tension in the upper back and/or neck. There can be many causes ranging from sitting for work 40 +/- hrs/wk, looking down at your cell phone consistently throughout the day, propping your head up while watching tv/reading and more severe cases due to motor vehicle accidents, whiplash and sporting injuries. The symptoms can also range from tension/pain that always comes back, headaches, jaw tension/TMJ, dizziness, tinnitus(ringing in the ears), difficulty swallowing, feeling like your head weighs 100 lbs and you just can’t hold it up. All these symptoms are warning signs from your body that something is just not right and you have created a dysfunction. Pain and tension are only present because there is a dysfunction within your system. Recognizing these warning signs and getting proper assessment/treatment can reverse the dysfunction and spending as little as 5 minutes a day of doing spec

What is Lomi Lomi?

Image
  What is Lomi Lomi? I would say and also as my mentors say,  Lomi Lomi is so much more than a massage! It’s A way of life It’s about connection It’s about living a life of aloha, a life with love, forgiveness and kindness and so much more. In Hawaiian philosophy, everything is aligned and has equal importance: body, mind, spirit, and emotional body. So with this in mind I would also say Lomi Lomi is a way of bringing our mind, our bodies back into balance back into homeostasis, as we were the day we were born. Healing is all about finding our balance and allowing a safe place for our healing to take place. To fully understand Lomi Lomi, it’s worth experiencing a lomi lomi session for yourself. Its like no other massage you will have experienced. Feel the flowing moves, moves like the ocean waves as they roll in and out and over the body. Washing over your body to create a sense of ease and bliss. Lomi Lomi Temple style or Kahuna as its sometime known here in Australia is a spiritual p

Breathwork

Image
  What is breathwork? Breathwork is a general term used to describe controlled breathing and breathing exercises that improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. By consciously deep breathing you can activate your parasympathetic nervous system and in turn this will slow your heart rate down and lower your blood pressure creating a real sense of calm. By breathing out slowly we also activate the Vagus Nerve, which in turns helps to put our body in rest and digest mode. Whenever you feel a sensation of panic, anxiety or stress its good to take a deep slow breath and exhale nice and slowly. This takes us from the fight or flight mode to rest or digest mode. Some stress and anxiety is good for us, however if we spend most of our lives in the fight or flight mode (the stressed, anxious mode) then we start to notice in other areas of our health. Its important to take time out and slow down and take a breath. I literally mean takde a nice deep slow breath and exhale nice and sl

Lava Shell Massage

Image
  Lava Shell Massage We have been using Lava shells in our massage practise and  training school  for the last five years. The best way to describe lava shell massage is: Lava shell massage is a five star massage without the price tag! We heat up the shells with a high or medium heat charge depending on how hot you would like the massage to be. Alternatively you can chill the shells with a cool shell, this is for another blog at a later date. The shells are all natural and from the philippines and we also use the  porcelain lava  shells , which are crushed up natural shells and mixed with a porcelain and placed in to a uniform mould to create a beautiful uniform shaped shell. The Tiger-Striped Clam. It may not seem like much at first, but this little guy has quite a history. Over millions of years, the Tiger Clam has evolved to truly become one with the environment. Born with their shell, the clams spend their lives carefully filtering the nutrients they need from the seawater around t
