Receive lomi
Lomi Lomi massage is a wonderful healing gift from the islands of Hawaii. Lomi Lomi in the Hawaiian language means ‘massage’, covering a variety of healing full body massage techniques practiced throughout the islands.
Lomi Lohi – ‘Lohi’ simply meaning ‘slow’ – is the version or style of Lomi Lomi we practice and teach at Slow & Aware: a beautifully nourishing, nervous system downregulating or resetting approach to bodywork that shifts the focus of sessions towards body-awareness, slowness and the natural co-regulation that takes place between givers and recipients .
The Lomi tradition goes back to ancient times when there were as many different Lomi Lomi massage practices as there were families. Lomi Lomi Nui (The Great Massage) was a sacred, often multi-handed initiation ritual practiced in temples and sacred places. In addition to its many therapeutic effects, this sacred form of full body massage was designed to bring the receiver to a deeper connection with themselves and an expanded understanding of all that is. It is a journey of discovery and transformation, which brings us back to our true Selves.
In our regular and multi-handed Lomi massage sessions, we offer our fullest attention, healing touch and loving presence to the receiver throughout the whole process. We are guided by the body’s voice, and intuitively move in a flow of dance-like movements or stay still when needed.
We have found that these sessions also contribute to balancing the masculine and the feminine energies in the receiver, and also that they are part of a wave of emerging healing modalities that assist humankind in its self-healing and collective nervous system regulation and overall evolution towards a more free and compassionate version of ourselves.
Each Lomi massage experience is unique and unrepeatable. Deep healings, revelations can take place, and transformation can happen on different levels.

Other complementary therapy sessions
We are trained, certified and insured for a variety of complementary therapy modalities. As our calling and major focus is Lomi Lomi, we integrate most of what we have learnt during our journey into those sessions, nevertheless, occasionally people look for specific services.To address that demand, we are also available for Reflexology, Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reiki, Prananadi Healing, Access Bars, Bach Flower Consultation and Cuddle Therapy.
Cuddle Therapy
Dan is also a certified and insured cuddle therapist.
Cuddle therapy is a more and more sought tactile therapy: in our touch-deprived society – especially after the times of lockdown – there is a lack of natural, platonic, nourishing touch. Cuddle therapy aims at the one hand to enhance our skills in clearly expressing our needs and boundaries, so it is partly about interpersonal communication. On the other hand, it is partly about sharing genuine, authentic, intimate connection with another human being in a safe and uplifting way. A cuddle therapy session can include eye gazing, breathing together, holding hands or cuddling.
