05. How to Recognise Authentic Lomilomi
Authentic Lomilomi is a way of living, thinking, and being. It is practiced moment-to-moment, not just on “Lomilomi days,” giving clients the experience of true Spirit, Mind, and Body integration.
Authentic Lomilomi is lived daily, shaping the Practitioner’s way of thinking, being, and moving through the world. True practitioners:
Belong to a verifiable Lineage and maintain relationships with teachers, families, and communities.
Are trained in therapeutic conversation, cultural awareness, and bodywork, addressing Spirit, Mind, and Body.
Maintain deep connections to Place and ʻOhana/family and community, ensuring the Mana and essence of the Practice remain intact.
Authentic Lomilomi is not just a technique or a weekend course. It is a way of living, thinking, and being — moment by moment. For true practitioners, Lomilomi informs how they move through the world; it is lived daily, not just practiced on “Lomilomi days.” This depth is what clients experience as authentic.
Lineage and Training
Authentic practitioners are part of a verifiable Lineage, trained over years with teachers, families, and communities. They are skilled in therapeutic conversation, bodywork, and cultural awareness, ensuring the Spirit, mind, and body are aligned. A short course or isolated training cannot replace this depth.
Connection to Place and People
In Hawaiian tradition, Place and ʻOhana matter. Authentic Lomilomi comes from a specific community and region, and the practitioner maintains real relationships with both the land and the people. This ensures the Mana and essence of the practice remain intact.
