What fascinates you about Hawaii?
The connection to nature and how people are embedded in nature. Nature is not somewhere out there, we ARE nature. What’s more, spirituality is lived in everyday life as well as the philosophy of living aloha. - Hawaii has brought me back to my roots. For the first time after many years of living in Switzerland, I feel at home here.
What do you want to achieve with Lomilomi therapy?
A happier, more conscious life in the here and now. I want to accompany people into their power so that their self-healing powers are activated. In addition, I want to promote awareness of the connections between body, food, mind and soul.
In your opinion, what distinguishes Lomilomi from a classical massage?
Lomilomi is holistic, transformational, profound, and sustainable, working on many levels. It's not just about the massage itself. Lomilomi is the heartfelt, accessible, and perceivable experience of practicing the Hawaiian philosophy of life. That can be felt.
When you receive a Lomilomi yourself, what do you experience?
I feel like I’ve been reborn.
What brought you into contact with Lomilomi?
My first stay on Kauai, where I had booked a Qi Gong course. The atmosphere of the island completely captivated me and touched me deeply on an emotional level. That’s when I knew: I want to learn more about this culture. Later, I discovered AlohaSpirit in Meilen, where I started to learn traditional Hula dance. My heart opened - and I was completely immersed in the Hawaiian culture.
