What is Remedial Massage?
The main purpose of remedial massage is to identify the underlying cause of a musculoskeletal condition and then specifically work on the affected area to achieve a significant change. The change includes reduced pain, improved mobility, less tension, or a combination of these. Remedial massage can either be deep or shallow, gentle or strong, depending on the problem to be addressed.
How Does Remedial Massage Work?
A remedial massage therapist uses different techniques to locate and repair the damaged tissues in the body. They may apply deep pressure on the muscles associated with the problem, trigger point therapy, some stretching and petrissage techniques among others.

What Can You Expect From a Remedial Massage?
The client is encouraged to communicate their needs to the therapist, especially with regard to the amount of pressure applied to their body. After the session, the practitioner advises the client to drink plenty of water to move the toxins released from the muscles out of their body.
The frequency of a remedial massage depends on the client's state of health. The practitioner may recommend a healthy person to get a massage once a month, while those who are working on long-standing pain may need it once or twice a week.
Is Remedial Massage Safe?
Add On: Lomi 'ili (Hot Stones)
Any of the Lomi techniques can be used with the tools of the stones, because they relax all the tissues around the problem area. It increases the blood flow and heat, allowing the practitioner to get much deeper without creating a “guard” from the client’s body. These amazing tools from the earth will absolutely help to ground, nourish and obtain better results from the treatment.

ABOUT YOUR THERAPIST

My Journey to Hawaiian Lomilomi Practice
Sometimes transformation pops into our life in apparently simple but profound ways. It is a part of our earthly life that seems to manifest when the destiny intervenes. In the most mundane appearing circumstance, the preparation is being brewed behind the scenes and comes to form when we are not chasing it. This was the case in my path in massage therapy.
In returning to Hawaii from Australia in 1997 we ended up on the Big Island of Hawaii. I fell into working for a philanthropist, visionary who helped create the first integrative hospital in the USA, then becoming the outreach person for a successful Community Health initiative for a cluster of his non-profits we were facilitating. I really connected to the Hawaiian people, their way of life and was invited to study the traditional medicine.
In 2005, I met a highly revered master Aunty Margaret Machado and as she held my hands she said, “You do Lomi, it is in your heart and in your hands.” Aunty Margaret Machado is known as one of the first Hawaiians who started to teach outside of their ‘ohana (family). She was the Kupuna (elder) of the Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage (Lomilomi Aunty Margaret Style). I knew that when someone of that stature gives you a directive you better pay attention. So, my journey in Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage began. My training from her lineage was experienced directly in Hawaii through my Kumu (teacher) Haunani and several other respected Kumus throughout the years.
I have also gained more skills, knowledge and practices whilst working in Australia and believe we must grow and learn from many schools to blend what is needed to provide sessions unique to each person. This leads me to continue to grow and learn to bring what methods, knowledge and care I can to my clients.
