A garden studio in Orakei, Auckland, offering traditional Hawaiian lomi lomi massage in one-on-one sessions. The Lomi Room is at 55 Ngaio Street. The website describes lomi lomi, along with traditional hot stone massage, relaxation and deep tissue massage, and coaching. It also says the business brings wellness into workplaces, with programmes to support teams. The website says lomi lomi uses long, flowing strokes, and does not force the body to release before it is ready. It says prayer, chanting and natural elements such as sticks and stones are sometimes used. First-time guests fill in a form and receive a short orientation from the therapist. The website says the studio is close to Mission Bay, Kohimarama, St Heliers, St Johns, Meadowbank, Remuera, Parnell and Newmarket.
Reviewers mention lomi lomi and healing hands most often. One booked a 120-minute session as a birthday gift, and describes the space as intimate and surrounded by greenery, with the therapist warm and attentive. Another calls the experience moving, with the sights, sounds and smells delighting the senses. A first-time client says the therapist sensed the areas of soreness and stiffness and worked on them with care.
