I got this short note from my lomi lomi Student… and I burst into tears reading it this morning. Good tears, these kind of tears that you cry when you feel a great relief, or when you finally remember something long time ago forgotten and everything falls into place. “You remind me what it means …
When I started giving massages 3 years ago, one thing was clear to me: I wanted each massage to be a unique experience, a beautiful meeting that we would remember for a long time. I didn’t want just hello, undress and lie down here, then I would press, knead, pull and stretch, you get dressed, …
