New dates: 5-7 April 2024 - Book now, don't miss out!

Are you looking to enhance your massage journey, or do you feel a strong desire to connect more deeply on a spiritual level with your clients, family and friends? Maybe you’re looking at a new career path and would love to share the gift of massage? Learn the healing art of Hawaiian Massage, where you can experience the flowing intuitive art of Lomi Lomi Bodywork.

The ‘Loving Hands’ Massage

Lomi Lomi is an Ancient Hawaiian Art of Massage that has been practiced over hundreds of years by master practitioners (kahuna) and elders (Kupuna). These Hawaiians were bearers of the light of knowledge that surrounded this spiritual work, and they passed down the sacred gift from generation to generation.

Lomi Lomi awakens a very deep level of spirit, which penetrates an ancient realm of wisdom and inspires healing from a core level.

Lomi Lomi is a flowing dance like movement where we create a space for our clients to experience their healing. To totally understand Lomi Lomi, it’s good to understand the meaning of ‘Huna’. Huna means everything seeks harmony and everything seeks love. Perhaps this can best be understood by one of the alternate names for Lomi Lomi - the “Loving Hands” massage. Lomi Lomi works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be.

Lomi Lomi is like no other massage you have experienced with its long flowing moves, just like the rolling ocean waves. It takes you on a journey, discovering how to link the mind, body and soul in a deeply connecting way.

Awaken a Deep Level of Spirit

Picture this - massaging and helping others in a deep and connected way every day, working the hours you desire and really creating a sacred healing space for your clients to keep on returning to time after time.

In this course, you will explore Lomi Lomi massage techniques, the health benefits of this spiritual massage and much more.

With our Accredited Lomi Lomi course you are on your way to being THE VERY BEST VERSION OF YOU, giving you confidence, self empowerment and the ability to help others. 

We take you on a journey where you will develop a deep understanding of Hawaiian healing massage and all that it gives. 

We will show you how to create a space for healing and space for love.

Meet your Kumu (Trainer)

Jen is a Bodyworker, Massage Trainer and Breathwork Retreat Facilitator with over 25 years of experience. She has learned the art of massage from a variety of masters from around the world: from Traditional Thai Massage in Chang Mai, to a Full Mastership in Hawaii, studying the Ancient Art of Lomi Lomi (Kahuna) massage with Hawaiian Kumu Jeana Nalua on the sacred island of Maui.


When you massage from the heart and go with the flow of the oceanreal magic can happen...

Her time in Maui allowed Jen to heal on a deep level. From there, she started helping others on their healing journey and is now passing on her knowledge, wisdom and love of massage to new up-and-coming therapists. Over the years, she has seen many therapists come and go who ended up burnt out or losing their passion for massage. By introducing new techniques and more flow, you will find that your passion for massage never dies. In fact, the more your learn, the more you will fall in love with it!

To make these new massage techniques and natural therapy treatments affordable to access, Jen created the Nalu Massage Training Academy. It is her mission to provide affordable, high quality, hands-on massage training, facilitated by a small group of highly experienced teachers.

All courses are taught in a small group setting, so you will have your teacher's full attention. Expand your modalities and keep your passion alive with Nalu Massage Training!
