The Spa

 

 

 

Do you offer memberships?

Yes! Members receive discounted services, preferred booking, free transfers and more. However, we are often sold out. Feel free to email us to see if there are currently any open membership spots and watch carefully on our social channels as that is where we will announce open spots – first come, first serve.

 

Otherwise, we are booking walk-in appointments generally 3-4 weeks out.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointment Cancellation Policy: You will receive courtesy reminders 48 hours in advance if you have opted into text or email notifications.

 

We have a 48 hour cancellation policy. You may incur a charge or lost appointment time if you cancel within this 48 hour period – please ensure you are planning ahead. Although we do our best to send courtesy reminders via email and/or text, there are at times technical or delivery errors which arise – it is the clients responsibility to mark, schedule, and attend their appointment. Any auto-reminders from the business are courtesies.

This language is also included with every booking confirmation email.

How do I arrive?

Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment so we can complete an intake form if it is your fist visit. We keep the front doors closed between appointments for client privacy and security. We will open 10-15 mins between sessions, or before classes.

Is Lomi Lomi good for [insert any health problem here]?

Yes. And, we will always customize to the individual needs or focus areas. If you have acute medical issues, specific injuries, or recent surgeries – let us know before booking. If it is severe, we may require a doctors release before treatment.

What kind of services do you offer?

We offer 100% Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage services (we do not know any other kind of modality at all, and because of that, we do not blend styles). Every service will incorporate the use of warm stones, warm towels, our custom lotions, and Hawaiian chants to open. We also have an array of enhancements to choose from.

 

When available, we do have staff available for beauty and/or esthetician work.

What ages do you provide services for?

You must be 18 years of age or older to book a service. Under very special circumstances (please inquire ahead), we will treat clients under 18 with a parent or legal guardian within the room for the duration of the service.

Why so long for walk-in booking?

Because it is a unique modality to find on the mainland, and even more unique to staff. We are often selling out quickly, so make sure to book soon and often!

Are you a chain?

No. we are a boutique experience that is family run and lineage based. Currently based in Colorado.

Is Lomi, like that style where draping is non-existent, nude, with a dancing weirdo?

NO. And, it does not need to be this way to get a good massage or experience lomi lomi. Unfortunately, some styles or people out there on the internet are misplaced and dilute indigenous Hawaiian culture into western mysticism, escapism, or eroticism. You do not need to be exposed nude without draping, with a liter of oil, and someone dancing around you with prayer hands – and if you find yourself in this position, you should probably get out of there.

 

Here is our take:

 

Table Massage:

 

Draping is standard to DORA (for Colorado state) standards on licensing, and what you would experience everywhere else. Draping is also catered to the comfort of the person. Lomi draping can be no more revealing then standard massage, or simply to the comfort of the person to where they feel taken care of, and we tend to skew more on the standard end due to a host of reasons we encountered over the years simply on a business level. If you are looking for zero-drape, tons of oil, and odd dancing – we are not the therapist for you.

 

Back walking:

 

Fully clothed loose athletic clothing (because this is compressive with assisted stretch). Don’t show up in a suit and tie.

 

Stomach work (optional for pre/post natal, or inquired and booked):

 

Female identifying will be draped over their chest.

Men identifying will have the option for chest draping.

Who don't you service?

We do not provide services to the following, unless there is a close recommendation or circumstance:

 

Men (without a referral – starting 2024)

 

We service quite a bit of men actually, but at this time we will not be taking any new bookings without a known referral. If you need more information, you can contact us.

Medical massage or Occupational Therapy

 

We do not provide or are certified in medical occupational therapy. Of course, lomi assists greatly and transcends this broad area. But if you have specific medical issues requiring rehab or therapy, we can point you to preferred specialists who are authorized for this work. We are simply not certified in this regard.

 

Insurance

 

We do not take insurance for myriad of reasons. Don’t blame us, blame the system.

Do you offer Lomi Lomi Training?

Yes! We intend to start offering online and in-person training starting early 2025. Both professional therapists, and non-therapists or hobbyists with no experience will be able to take this training.

 

C.E.U hours will be available for all courses.

What is +Training

+Training is a series of augmented training modules and exercises to supplement your lomi lomi practice with specific hyper focus sessions on subjects such as: Sensitivity touch, Stance work, Assessment, La’aulapa’au, and more. Content and media are consistently being updated and made available.

What is your lineage?

Our lomi lineage comes mostly from Maui and the Big Island. Our personal family rooted from Lahaina, Maui — but now roots to the Big Island, stays and care takes in the ahupua’a of Waiakahi’ula in Puna. Our family inoa is Koa and our approach to healing stems from an extensive martial arts background first, which is felt in our approach. We promote and study kanaka and indigenous Hawaii. We do not subscribe or promote “Temple”, or “Huna” styles.
