My Lomi Lomi Massage Experience

Hawaii comes to South London

Reconnecting with intimacy can be challenging, especially after a long period without it. This is particularly true for those who once had a high libido but now find themselves questioning its absence. On my podcast, I've discussed with various experts how arousal often shifts from being spontaneous to responsive as we age.

In practical terms, this means that you may only feel aroused when you’re in the bedroom or physically close to your partner rather than in other situations. For example, a hand grazing your thigh under a restaurant table might ignite desire, but simply sitting across from each other without any physical contact may not elicit the same feelings.

\If you're wondering where your libido has gone, massage might be a pathway to rediscovering it. Not every type of massage will be stimulating, but specific techniques can be more effective than others.

A few months ago, I visited a sensual masseuse named Colin Richards and had a wonderful experience, especially if you're a woman who enjoys a happy ending. ;)

Lomi Lomi, however, is not that kind of massage. For me, it was more about enhancing sensuality than providing therapeutic relief.

Christophe Fien is skilled in various massage techniques, and I've had the pleasure of being his test subject as he explores new methods. He has been practising Lomi Lomi, a Hawaiian massage characterised by long, flowing strokes for several months. He offered me a session to experience its differences compared to the Swedish, Thai, and deep tissue massages I’m more accustomed to.

Chris offers his standard Lomi Lomi massage at various clinics or health centres in Kingston, Balham, and Beckenham.

One notable difference with Lomi Lomi is that it’s performed on a mostly naked body, though disposable thongs are available for those who prefer some coverage. The breasts remain exposed (although Chris provides sticky nipple covers, too, for those who prefer more covering), as massaging in free slowing movements in between the breasts along the sternum is an integral part of the technique, along with stroking along the sides of the legs and up the body, which clothing would obstruct. The naked experience also added to my ability to let go and experience the full range of sensations.

The massage itself is slow, allowing for pressure to be adjusted. The movements feel fluid, making it hard to discern whether it’s his hands, arms, or elbows that are being used. The abundant oil enhances the sensation, creating a rhythmic experience rather than simply applying pressure at specific points. I found the long, slow strokes to be incredibly pleasurable, making it a more sensual experience than other massages I’ve had.

As with other types of massage, you can focus on the whole body, the face, or specific areas. Chris advised that the Lomi Lomi face massage is unique, but I chose not to have it for our session because I had on makeup and recently washed my hair! I noticed more attention was paid to fingers, arms, underarms, and the upper torso than in more traditional massages.

My session lasted 90 minutes, and it flew by. By the end, I felt deeply relaxed and ready for a good night's sleep!
