Depending on the training institute, training to become a Lomi Lomi Nui therapist can take different lengths of time. The basic training usually lasts one and a half to five days, which serves as a basis for acquiring in-depth knowledge of temple massage in advanced courses and workshops.

Lomi Lomi Nui is a traditional form of massage originating from Hawaii. It is not only intended to deeply relax the body, but also to bring the mind and soul back into harmony. Not only are individual areas of the body massaged, but the entire body is worked on - the back as well as the legs, the shoulders as well as the stomach. In this way, blockages of all kinds are released that go far beyond physical blockages. The technique, which originates from the Hawaiian art of healing, was originally used for rites of passage and is now adapted to the individual patient.
Lomi Lomi Nui is a mixture of massage, bodywork, dance, music and ritual. Relaxing oils and traditional Hawaiian sounds are used. The therapist not only uses their hands, but also their entire forearms to spread the oil over a large area and work it in deeply, usually taking one to two hours for the treatment. Although it is a relaxing massage, the patient not only benefits from a brief soothing effect, but can also let the effects linger for a long time after the treatment thanks to the bodywork.

The aim of basic training in Lomi Lomi Nui is to be able to perform a full body massage independently and to gain an understanding of the rituals and applications of this massage.

Training in Lomi Lomi Nui massage is aimed at already trained masseurs and masseuses who wish to expand their range of services, as well as beginners with little or no massage experience who wish to start such training. The individual schools will inform you about the admission requirements.

The costs for basic training in Lomi Lomi Nui massage vary greatly depending on the school and instructor and range from CHF 450 to CHF 800. The costs can also be higher for very extensive training courses.
