Lomi Lomi Massage in Amsterdam. Restore Energy and Emotional Balance
Lomi Lomi Massage is a traditional Hawaiian therapeutic practice that utilizes long, continuous forearm strokes to integrate the body’s physical systems. This rhythmic approach facilitates systemic downregulation of the nervous system, encouraging both physical release and emotional grounding.
A rhythmic, heart-centered treatment to release and restore
Lomi Lomi is not just a technique; it’s a philosophy. Passed down through Hawaiian lineages, it honours the body as a whole system. The treatment uses long, sweeping strokes across the entire body, sometimes with both hands working simultaneously, to simulate the sensation of waves.
This massage is performed with warm, organic jojoba oil to deeply nourish the skin and allow fluid, continuous movement. It encourages deep letting go, physically, emotionally and energetically.
This massage is especially beneficial if you’re experiencing:
- Emotional fatigue or sadness
- Chronic stress or anxiety
- Disconnection from your body or emotions
- A desire for energetic renewal and grounding
- The need for deep, compassionate self-care
A fluid and nurturing full-body massage experience
Your session begins with a gentle intake, where we tune into how you’re feeling emotionally, energetically, and physically. Based on this, the session is intuitively shaped to support what your body needs most.
You’ll be massaged with long, flowing strokes that glide from shoulders to feet, arms to hips creating a sense of wholeness and unity. At times, both hands (or forearms) are used in rhythm, helping the body enter a meditative, wave-like state.
Lomi Lomi is often experienced as deeply emotional, even spiritual. It allows space for stillness, tears, breath, and subtle shifts in energy.
Many clients describe it as a reset: feeling lighter, emotionally clearer, and fully back in themselves.

Questions about our Lomi Lomi Massage Treatment
If you’re wondering what to expect or how we work, we’ve got you covered. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out.
What is a Lomi Lomi massage and where does it come from?
Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage rooted in ancient healing practices. It uses long, flowing, rhythmic strokes to simulate the ocean’s waves and is designed to restore harmony to body, mind, and spirit. Unlike standard massage, it blends physical, emotional and energetic healing.
Is Lomi Lomi only for relaxation, or does it have therapeutic benefits?
While deeply relaxing, Lomi Lomi is also a powerful therapeutic treatment. It can help regulate the nervous system, ease emotional tension, and support energy flow—making it ideal for those dealing with stress, sadness, or disconnection.
How does Lomi Lomi differ from Deep Tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage focuses on muscular tension and structural issues through firm pressure. Lomi Lomi, on the other hand, uses gentler, flowing movements to encourage emotional release, energetic balance, and full-body integration. For muscular pain, deep tissue may be better; for emotional and energetic restoration, Lomi Lomi is ideal.
Do I need to prepare anything for a Lomi Lomi session?
Just come as you are. You’ll be covered with draping, and warm oil is used throughout the session. We recommend clearing time after your session for integration and rest.
Can Lomi Lomi help with emotional release or trauma?
Yes, many clients find it opens emotional channels gently. It creates a safe space to process what your body may be holding, without needing to talk or explain. Your therapist holds space with care and presence.
What does 'holistic' mean in massage therapy?
Holistic massage focuses on treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just physical symptoms. It combines technical massage techniques with mindfulness, breathwork, and energy balancing to support overall well-being.
What should I expect during my first massage?
Your therapist will discuss your needs, concerns, and any medical conditions before beginning the session. You’ll be guided on how to lie on the massage table and draped for privacy. The treatment will be adjusted to your comfort level, and you’re encouraged to communicate any preferences.
What should I wear to my massage?
For most massages, you will undress to your comfort level, as you’ll be covered with a towel.
Is Lomi Lomi suitable if I’m feeling low, sad, or burned out?
Absolutely. This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking emotional balance, deep rest, or reconnection with their inner self. It is especially supportive in times of transition, grief, or overwhelm.
Do you offer duo massages?
Yes, we offer duo massages at Rebalance Massage Amsterdam. Two people can enjoy massages at the same time in separate private rooms, each tailored to individual needs. It’s a perfect option for couples, friends, or family members who want to relax and recharge together. Book your massage under “Duo Massage” in the booking widget.
