About Mahalo Mel

Mahalo Mel thanks her lucky stars the day she discovered Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage. Prior to discovering this she had long connected with the land and its Aloha ways. She still recalls with glee the day she went for a dip and heard the whales communicating, stared with joy at the tropical fish who welcomed her with open arms(!) and showed her around their lovely coral homes.

When we are down we hold our emotions in our muscles. Our bodies are in dis-ease. Lomi Lomi has an extremely harmonising effect at times like this. It is about loving the body unconditionally so that it can return to a state of harmony where healing can begin.

Mahalo Mel aims to assist bringing your body back to harmony by releasing any emotional blockages. Mahalo Mel prides herself on her Hawaiian teachings - that every 'body' is sacred, every 'body' requires love and understanding and chooses to live in the Aloha spirit.
