I have taken Lomilomi massage in Hawaii. I do suggest that you take it with someone connected directly with the cultural aspects of the work. If you have to opportunity to immerse yourself into the culture while you learn the work the learning will be far deeper. Lomilomi is much much more than technique and having your training on the islands of Hawaii would be a much better experience than you could imagine as well as one you will never forget. I trained with Aunty a few years ago and I am very grateful to have spend the time with her. Here is her web site. It is run by her son on the main land so you don't get a direct communication with her or her daughter but it will give you some information. If you would like any more information from me you can Email me at
Mahalo and I hope you discover a good teacher.
