Renew & Release
Lomi Lomi is more than just a massage.
It is a ritual of renewal, a gentle yet powerful way of coming home to your body, releasing what no longer serves you, and allowing life energy to move freely once more. This sacred practice honours the whole being — body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
What Makes Lomi Lomi Unique
I offer Temple-Style Lomi Lomi — a sacred Hawaiian form of bodywork rooted in ancient tradition, ceremonial practice and the spirit of Aloha.
Flowing Movements
Long, continuous strokes using hands and forearms move like ocean waves across the body, calming the nervous system and restoring energetic flow.
The Spirit of Aloha
Every touch is infused with loving intention, compassion, and deep presence — the essence of Aloha, the Hawaiian way of life rooted in love and connection.
Holistic Healing
Rather than isolating muscles, Lomi Lomi treats the body as a unified whole, supporting both physical and emotional release.
Sacred Space
Sessions often begin with quiet intention or prayer, honouring the spiritual aspect of healing and inviting you to fully arrive — just as you are.
Why Choose Lomi Lomi?
Unlike clinical or sports massage, Lomi Lomi invites you into a deeper, more intuitive experience.
It is not about fixing — it is about remembering.
Remembering your wholeness.
Remembering your breath.
Remembering your connection to self, to spirit, and to life.

About TAIYO
Taiyo offers Temple-Style Lomi Lomi massage: a sacred Hawaiian form rooted in breath, rhythm, and the spirit of Aloha.
He trained with Ricardo Balkhoven, a master in Hawaiian healing arts with over 30 years of experience in bodywork, breathwork, and constellations. Ricardo’s teachings draw directly from the lineage of Kahu Abraham Kawai’i and honour the ceremonial depth of this tradition.
With a lifelong connection to nature and movement, Taiyo brings to his sessions a grounded, embodied presence. Before stepping into the world of healing touch, Taiyo spent several years as an outdoor adventure guide, surf instructor, and mountain leader — working in Brazil, Japan, Austria, and the UK. These experiences gave him not only a deep respect for the elements but also the ability to hold space with calmness, trust, and care.
Taiyo has a heart open to people from all walks of life. He offers his sessions with sensitivity, integrity, and a deep reverence for the sacredness of the healing journey.
The Sessions
Lomi Lomi Flow Massage sessions are given in a beautiful Japanese garden cabin in Dartington, Totnes, UK.
From a practical point of view, Lomi Lomi is a full body, oily massage that uses long, stroking moves. The therapist’s hands and forearms move along the body – and sometimes also underneath – in a tradition often compared to the undulations of the ocean.
A full session is 90 minutes.
