7-Day Transformational Polynesian Bodywork & Lomi Lomi Retreat in Mexico

Aloha 🌺 With deep pride and gratitude, I am honored to announce this Polynesian Lomi Lomi Bodywork Retreat in Mexico!
-

Lomi Lomi embraces many different styles. The form of Lomi Lomi most widely known in the West originates from the native-born Hawaiian Kahu Abraham Kawai'i. His work, often referred to as Temple Bodywork or Temple Lomi Lomi, is a direct inspiration for my own practice and teaching. Kahu Abraham Kawai'i was one of the first Hawaiians to share this profound and sacred wisdom internationally. My Lomi Lomi training stems directly from this lineage.
-

In addition, I have been blessed to receive valuable cultural teachings, including Ho'oponopono, both online and in person in Hawai’i, from *Kumu Kawika Foster*. I also had the privilege of learning Lomi Lomi from him. He belongs to an ancient line of wisdom keepers from Moloka'i.
-

Out of deep reverence for their work and traditions, I always honor and name my teachers with respect.

It is my heartfelt intention to preserve the original spirit and purity of these traditions and to share them from a place of Aloha, reverence, and gratitude.

How wonderful it is to get to know Lomi Lomi through Ricardo. A beautiful man, driven and so in touch with himself, the Lomi Lomi traditions and the field of love and healing. Ricardo gives training imbued with passion and dedication to what is. It is wonderful to learn from Ricardo, he sees you, he feels what is needed and also chooses beautiful places and environments to be in. Thank you Ricardo! And what a powerful medicine Lomi Lomi is 🙏

What a week, what a trip! It was a true discovery of the deeply healing effect of the lomi lomi massage to experience, carried by the powerful presence of Ricardo and his loving team. Like the threads through a beautiful weave, they made their way across the massage tables - sometimes with softness and purpose, sometimes with a touch of humor, always supportive and comforting. All this was beautifully supplemented with musical treats, fascinating stories, breathtaking nature and delicious dishes. I return with a full heart, with new, valuable soul connections and an inspiring professional challenge. very grateful🙏🙏🙏 love, Gaëlle
