Temple Style Lomi
The Origin of Lomi
Lomi was once an initiation rite — a profound ritual of passage that could span two full days. With four-handed massage, chanting, drumming, and flowers, a sacred space of transformation was created. This powerful art was used to guide people into a new chapter of life: newly appointed clan leaders, couples on their wedding day, expectant mothers, and those preparing for their final journey.
The Technique of Lomi
Temple Style Lomi has a rich repertoire of precisely performed strokes and movements. This includes exact footwork and intentional body positioning. Yet within this structured framework, there is generous space for intuition, fluidity, and presence. In a Lomi Ceremony you will always feel seen, safe, and lovingly cared for—made possible by our words, timing, and attitude.
The Power of Lomi
Lomi offers profound physical well-being. Yet, it’s true power lies beyond the body: Lomi opens the heart. It creates space for emotional release and deep connection. Sometimes it leads to transformative breakthroughs and makes the receiver feel complete. This return to yourself ist the ultimate aim of Lomi.
About Me
Aloha, I’m Daniel and I love Lomi!
When trust is there, my work can truly have impact. Therefore I want to share some things that matter to me.
Well-Trained and Certified
What began as Lomi trainings grew into a deep friendship with my teacher Kabiro, profoundly shaping my technique and the way I create space.
Experienced
My path has always been physical and soulful. From 250+ given and received Lomi sessions to 2,000+ hours of Iyengar Yoga teacher training to a lifetime of dance, I’ve received a treasure of embodied understanding.
Rooted in Tradition
I practice in the lineage of Temple Style Lomi, as passed down by Kahu Abraham Kawai‘i. My gratitude flows to Kabiro, whose presence and wisdom have shaped the way I live and touch.
Trustworthy
I want to assure you of my integrity and guarantee your privacy. Still, trust needs time. That's why a Lomi Ceremony is exceptionally long. Often it is only after 100 minutes of flowing, loving touch, that receivers really let go—reaching levels of unwinding they never thought possible.
Trauma-Informed
I’ll take time to explain everything before we start, and throughout the ceremony, I’ll invite you to share what feels right for you. Your comfort matters deeply to me. I’ll hold it with care so you may feel safe to surrender more deeply, especially if past experiences have made that difficult.
Attuned
I will adopt to your physical, emotional and spiritual needs and preferences and invite you to communicate them to me. Maybe you want certain body parts to be treated with special attention, or only with gentle or no touch, maybe you need a different oil, due to a nut ellergy... Whatever, please reach out.
