"Tom and Donna have taught us to tap into a power that allows for real change both for the therapist and the recipient. They have fine-tuned the orchestration of their class to make each moment be relevant," Bill says. "The Sacred Lomi course was the light that illuminated my path. It is the operating system by which other modalities as tools have direction and meaning. As a therapist, and in my life as a whole, I mark any of my own evolution by who I was before lomilomi and who I am today." Bill says his exposure to lomilomi has been an exceptional experience. "It has changed my life, changed my marriage, and my relationship with myself, and I am a much better human being for it." Michele says Sacred Lomi—which integrates physical and energetic techniques with breath, presence, and sacred space—is a heart-opening experience that helps facilitate the letting go of old ideas, conditions, and wounds stored in the tissue and allows the body to utilize new neuro-pathways in order to bring transformation and new ways of being. "Sacred Lomi is the first continuing education class that has completely changed my life and how I see my work," Michele says. "Lomi is more than a CEU class or a new modality to put in your toolbox. It is a way of life." She says Lomi has taught her to be completely present with others at every moment.

Lomi has brought awareness to my own movements in the massage environment and allows my intuitive senses to be heightened. It has taught me connectivity, fluidity, presence, and has brought a new level of kindness and heart feeling to my work and to my marriage. Sacred Lomi is an art form that will take years of practice to master and in that realization I have also found infinite patience. It is sacred and honoring work that has enlivened my practice and my life and is one of the few types of massage that energizes me as a facilitator." Massage & Bodywork.
