Lomi Lomi Massage in Grand Rapids, MI
Experience the “Loving Hands” massage. Transport yourself to the islands with this ancient Hawaiian healing practice known for its long, flowing forearm strokes and deep spiritual connection.
Discover the Healing Power of Lomi Lomi Massage
Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian restorative practice that views the body, mind, and spirit as one interconnected system. Unlike Western massage styles that treat muscles in isolation, Lomi Lomi uses continuous, rhythmic strokes that wash over the body like ocean waves.
At Be Balanced Bodywork, our therapists use their forearms and hands to create a seamless flow of touch. This unique technique allows for broad, firm pressure that soothes the nervous system, encouraging you to let go of not just physical tension, but emotional stress as well.

The Power of Lomi Lomi
Why Choose Hawaiian Healing?
Emotional Release
Hawaiians believe that memories and emotions are stored in the body’s cells. The nurturing flow of Lomi Lomi helps unlock and release these suppressed feelings.
Improve Circulation
The broad, sweeping strokes are highly effective at pushing lymph and blood towards the heart, flushing toxins and boosting immunity.
Deep Relaxation
Because the therapist often works on two areas of the body simultaneously, the brain stops trying to focus on specific techniques and surrenders to total relaxation.
Ancient Roots, Modern Healing
For centuries, Lomi Lomi was passed down within Hawaiian families, with each lineage developing its own unique style. It was traditionally used to prepare warriors for battle or to aid in digestion and restorative health.
Today, this sacred art form has traveled across the Pacific to Grand Rapids, offering a tropical sanctuary in the midst of our busy lives. While the setting has changed, the core principle remains the same: healing through the power of loving touch.
The Spirit of Aloha
Lomi Lomi is more than a technique; it is a prayer in motion. Originating in ancient Hawaii, it was originally practiced by master healers (Kahunas) as a rite of passage and healing.
We honor this tradition by bringing the spirit of Aloha—breath, love, and harmony—into our studio. When you receive a Lomi Lomi massage, you aren’t just getting your muscles rubbed; you are being reconnected to your own natural rhythm. It is the ultimate service for those feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or burnt out.
