This course is designed for Licensed Massage Practitioners who are proficient in Swedish Massage and who are interested in a week-long study of Hawaiian Massage and the Hawaiian Healing Arts. 
The purposes of this Intensive are to:
· Introduce practitioners to a traditional style of Hawaiian massage marked by the
  use of specific intention and focus combined with fluid forearm techniques for
  connecting, treating and healing the whole body.
· Introduce practitioners to specific deep tissue Lomi techniques and to a deeper   
  exploration of the Hawaiian Healing Principles and methods of treating the whole 
  person.
· Introduce practitioners to a variety of movement and meditation techniques
  designed to increase skill in accessing deep states of meditative focus and
  energetic connection with clients, as well as graceful, heart-inspiring forearm
  massage strokes, and fluid weight/leverage body mechanics which support long-
  term practice of massage.
