Ohana in Hawaiian is the word for family and that is
the feeling created in these workshops. They are designed
to be small and intimate so that you may have direct personal
experiences with the kumu, teacher. Many of these workshops
are held in residential settings. All of these workshops
have a limited number of participants. If the workshop
is more than one day, you will be responsible for your
meals and accommodations. We will be glad to supply information
regarding accommodations or dining after you register.

| Lomi Lomi Weekend
Aunty Maile Napoleon
Big Island of Hawaii
|
Aunty Maile was inspired to learn lomi lomi by her Kohala tutu (grandmother). At 16 her father had a stroke and was told by the doctors that he would not speak or walk again. Hearing the words of her tutu, she began to lomi him daily. After 6 months of pule (prayer) and lomi, her father said his first words and in nine months he took his first steps.
Aunty learned the basics of her work from her grandmother. She learned that you must pule (pray) before and after you lomi, that you must work with unconditional love and that the therapist is only the tool for the work, for the healing is truly accomplished by ke Akua. Later in life Aunty learned the lomi style of Papa Kalua Kaiahua, a very gifted and respected lomi lomi and la`au lapa`au master from Maui. In her work with him she saw and experienced many miracles. She was given permission to teach his style of lomi lomi.
Aunty Maile is a renaissance woman. In addition to being a master lomi practitioner, she is also a master of many cultural traditions. She is recognized for her unique and beautiful lei making, her stone carving and the exquisite joy that she offers freely.

experience:
- basic lomi lomi techniques
- spiritual background of lomi lomi
