Course overview

This Ancient Hawaiian Massage Class teaches mostly the ancient temple style Lomi, with strokes from heel to head and back. This class will use Essential Oils to create Aromatherapy Blends known as Alohatherapy in this training, and then we will use our Hawaiian Alohatherapy concoctions to perform Ancient Temple Style Lomi Lomi Massage strokes in the Lomi Lomi Massage Basics portion of the course. Your Lomi Lomi Basics portion of class will include some brief history about Hawaii and lomi practice is offered, including reviewing Ahupuaa, Hooponopono, chanting and the Hawaiian heiau. Students can follow along with the ancient temple style lomi lomi massage instructor demonstration. Genitalia and breast tissue are covered with draping at all times; however, in prone position, 1/2 the body is exposed from head to heel for long body stroking, no gluteal cleveage or genitalia are exposed. Half the class will be spent on Essential Oils, their properties, and how to properly blend the oils together to create therapeutic effects. When these therapeutic effects are practiced with the spirit of peace and giving - we create the spirit of Alohatherapy. Your aromatherapy portion of class training will include: Aromatherapy Contraindications, Skin Sensitizations & Irritations, Phototoxic Oils, Essential Oil Physiology, Physiological & Therapeutic Effects, Essential Oil Classifications & Categories, Notes: Top, Middle & Base, Review or Approximately 20 Different Essential Oils, Synergy Oil Blending and hands-on instructor demonstration and skills practice of an Alohatherapy facial massage which students can practice on themselves or a facial mannequin which costs only around $10 for amazon prime members.
