Hawaiian Massage Lomilomi: Sacred Touch of Aloha
This book is not a 'how-to' - it is a 'why to' for anyone who wants to delve into the mysteries of lomilomi. Winner of a 2008 "Keep It Hawai'i" Award from the Hawai'i Tourism Authority for respectful and accurate depiction of authentic Hawaiian culture.As seen inMassage MagazineandMassage Therapy JournalIt is a delight to read what people said long ago with details of what was done during lomilomi. I am truly impressed. I love this book.----Pali Jae Lee, author ofTales from the Night RainbowandHo'oponoThis is a fabulous book. It is a link between the young and the old tradition, a kupuna generation of traditional practitioners and young and up coming healers. Genealogy is always important. Who you learn from is what you become. Without a link to the past you are disconnected. This book provides such a link. It is a must for anyone who loves Hawaii.----Kumu Kawaikapuokalani HewettWhen I first opened this book, tears came to my eyes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible work.----Claudia Brullhardt, lomilomi practitioner, SwitzerlandAfter spending just a few minutes browsing through the short quotes and soft, gorgeous photos I was compelled to call a lomilomi practitioner and make an appointment. I am grateful to the book as I thoroughly enjoyed my session.----HawaiiHealthGuide.comMahalo for this book. It feels like I'm sitting in a room with all of these kumus sharing their knowledge.----Roberta Taira, Hawai'iThe pictures are so beautiful, I carry the book with me at all times to show to my lomilomi customers.----Gabriel Otshundy, England --Hawaiian Insights
