In this blog, we'll walk you through what to wear, how to prepare, what happens during the session, and how to take care of yourself afterward.
Practical Preparation for Your Lomi Lomi Massage
Before your appointment, dress comfortably. Most clients prefer to undress to their comfort level, as the therapist will drape towels for privacy. Bring any specific concerns or preferences to our attention so we can tailor the session to your needs. It’s also helpful to hydrate before your visit; drinking water can prepare your body for optimal relaxation.

When you arrive, our friendly team will greet you and guide you to your treatment room. You’ll have a few moments to settle in and let your mind relax.

Post-Massage Care for Lasting Relaxation
After your session, you might feel a little lightheaded or blissfully relaxed, which is normal. We recommend drinking water to help flush out any toxins released during the massage. It’s also beneficial to take it easy for the rest of the day to maximize your relaxation. Clients often choose to return for another session within a few weeks to maintain this serene state and deepen their relaxation experience.
