Jarid’s Kahi (Healing Touch) Massage

Kahi (pronounced Kah-he), means “oneness” in Hawaiian. Kahi is a technique of Lomi-Lomi massage that uses very light hand pressure similar to Reiki or laying on of hands. Kahi uses the focus of attention to flow energy into the body. This technique intensifies and harmonizes the body’s energy. Kahi brings one into a relaxed peaceful “aloha” state of being, which stimulates the body’s healing process. The seven principles of Kahi are: Be aware, be free, be focused, be here, be loved, be strong and be healed. Kahi helps relive pain, stress, headaches, muscle tension and promotes faster recovery from surgeries and broken bones.

Experience a deep, sensual, and traditional Lomi Lomi massage

Aloha – Each of our therapists is creating their own special and unique massage or other service that only they will provide.  The first of these, and exotic Lomi Lomi massage has been introduced by Steve.  Below is Steve’s description of these unique and traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage in Scottsdale.

Steve’s Exotic Lomi Lomi Massage

Although everyone at the spa performs Lomi Lomi massages I have advanced training in the art and can perform the massage differently then what we normally provide at the spa. When I studied Lomi Lomi on Maui and brought the treatment to the spa I slightly modified our approach to the treatment to conform with the needs of most clients. While our regular Lomi Lomi massage is very traditional, my Lomi Lomi massage will include everything I have learned about this ancient practice from various sources and training.

In your special Lomi Lomi I will use deep pressure to release muscle tension (the massage will be deeper than a regular Lomi Lomi) with a special focus on breathing muscles and hip muscles. However, even though most of the massage is deeper, I will include a period of soft full body relaxing lomi strokes intermixed with the deeper work. This combination makes the deeper work more effective and will cause your entire body to relax and “let go”. I will also incorporate stretching (especially of the hips), and will kneel on the massage table to perform more of the massage than usual, including when you are face down and face up. I will play traditional Hawaiian music and will try to provide you with fantastic, sensual, experience with your treatment.

I recommend this massage for anyone who loves deep therapeutic pressure and is very comfortable with the Lomi Lomi draping and techniques. If this is your first Lomi Lomi you may wish to try a regular Lomi Lomi to make sure you are totally comfortable before moving on to this special massage. Aloha.
