Lomi Lomi

You guyz are killin me.... t044 LMAO...

I took the Lomi Lomi seminar with Tom Cochrane. It was a very good class, but it is a very unique massage.

There definately needs to be a "comfort" level between the therapist and the client. There is minimal draping - breast towel and loin cloth - and it is a very intimate massage.

I actually enjoyed it, but during class I did leave my underwear on. Just couldnt take everything off for the 30 people in class.

Tom actually stated in CA they only use the loin cloth..they dont have the restrictions there like in other states.

I have only given one, once they find out the draping and the oil factor, most are turned off by it, but it was a great seminar and now I am trained in a unique massage that is not offered in the midwest.

Have a great day!

Hi Julie,
It's great that you took the training and enjoyed the process.

TS lomi does not have to be all about the draping or the amount of oil.
You can explain the preferable draping style and why it is used, but if the client is uncomfortable with that, offer the option of standard swedish style draping and reduce the length of the strokes. Perhaps just undrape the back and one leg so you can do those great foot to shoulder and hand strokes
You do not need to use huge amounts of oil. with experience you can get away with a lot less as you find that point where you have just enough oil.

It's about giving Aloha more than anything else.
