| Sacred Lomi |
Sacred Lomi® was developed by Tom Cochran and Donna Jason
and is rooted in the practice of  'Temple Style' Hawaiian lomi lomi Massage.
Sacred Lomi weaves ancient practices with heart-centered and powerful teachings to create a complete system of hands-on bodywork that integrates the physical, emotional and energetic.
"In Sacred Lomi we embrace the integrated whole being by creating a space of unconditional love and acceptance. We invite the recipient to completely let go and receive. The flowing, circular runs nurture and embrace, clearing out the old patterns and awakening the divine in the physical being."

| The Essence of Healing |
 Movement is the natural rhythm of the universe. When we stop moving -- physically, emotionally or spiritually -- parts of our being become dormant. As we move or allow those parts of ourself to be touched, we reconnect with, heal and remember who we are.
The group space in the workshop offers a beautiful and healing environment where healers and therapists as well as those interested in the healing arts, can seek out feedback, mirrors and support and allow themselves to let go of old patterning and recieve inspiration from their core and from their guides.

 Leilani (Stef) Douthit
Leilani felt the transformational power of Sacred Lomi from the 1st lomi lomi workshop she attended with Tom and Donna. Having commented that she felt like she was being called to be a "bridge" between the physical and spiritual aspects of massage and energy work, she found Lomi to be just that! She is an LMT, who specializes in Sacred Lomi, integrating 'Vibrational Healing' using color and tuning forks. Leilani is also deeply passionate about chanting, Kirtan and most of all teaching Sacred Lomi and watching people discover the many gifts offered by that honored lineage! Practicing Lomi and the shamanic principles she learned through this work is a way of life and a blessing for which Leilani is very grateful! For more on Leilani...
