Hawaiian Temple Bodywork, Lomilomi Mauli Ola is a life transforming practice, a way of life. This ancient Hawaiian healing art, brings us to a time and place where all life is revered as sacred, where the power & opportunity is in each moment and we are each responsible in creating the reality before us. Aloha, unconditional love, joy & compassion is the river that flows through us. Every breath & thought is a prayer, every movement is a ritual, and every moment...is a choice. Our unlimited beingness is the reality that we remember & continue to expand into to perform this sacred work.

Hawaiian Temple Bodywork sessions, practices, joyshops and intensive trainings offer us a vehicle to live in a harmonious flow of grace, beauty and attentiveness as we manifest the desires of our heart, here and now.

This is a sacred and magical dance of bodywork originated by kahunas (Hawaiian shamans) as a rite of passage. Though ancient, it is fresh, alive and expansive dancing with each moment's calling. Lomilomi Mauli Ola is ceremonial, prayerful and loving bodywork, which honors and responds to the fullness of our being.

“...The waves faded out to tribal drums overlaid with Hawaiian chants as Rev. ‘Iolani’s forearms kneaded and rolled across the landscape of my body. She lifted and cradled me, rocking me in the arms of the mother, sweeping me into her grace. I became wide open and receptive. In the spirit of Aloha, unconditional love, I felt like a newborn babe, soft and silky.”

~from Sweat Your Prayers by Gabrielle Roth,
Internationally renowned movement/theater artist, author and music artist/producer

“Loving, healing, renewing…Lomilomi Mauli Ola is not just a wonderful massage technique ~ it’s a journey for the soul, a clearing for the mind, an opening of the heart, a dance with life. A very human experience of aloha lead by a very talented and supportive kumu!

~ Anita J. Webb, CMP

“I was able to achieve a state of rapture that felt like I was dancing in the heavens. Rev. ‘Iolani creates the vehicle to be transported and nurtured in a way that puts you into a total trust of the moment and allows you to free yourself.”

~ Peter Roth, Healer, Founder of the Heart River Healing School.

The sacred mist offered her blessing as doorways to the Great Mystery began to reveal themselves. Time was no longer. The moment, in its fullest expression, was alive with the imprinting of infinity. Wisdom was available, precious, vast and sweet, as its nectar danced fruitfully through my being. Peace was permeating the totality of who I am, was, and ever shall be. The ceremony had begun.

Pule and oli of the kahunas carried me through the doorways into expanded landscapes of my being. The crackling fire in all of its amber warmth and power purified me in its melting heat. Each cackle the snap of Spirits fingers. A call to let go, shift, awaken, remember all that I am. Surrendering control. Traveling in/out/through/below/above. The breath and dance of the kahunas, my canoe. My spirit, our navigator.

The cells of my body vibrated higher and freer as the kahunas danced through the layers of my being with incredible mana and grace. Connecting with all that I am, reaching out in fluid ripples to my gene pool. A call to higher consciousness.

Raindrops from heaven blessed me as they poured from the soft dark skin of the kahunas. Imbued with great mana, each drop fragrant as pikake merged with the ocean of movement that freed me in my body. I swam in the spaces where past and future cease to exist. Surrendering to the power of the moment, manawa.

May this peace, expansion and knowingness run through the blood and bones of all my relations. May we be pono in truth and may we reclaim our inherent aloha, Love beyond description, and mana, Divine Power my prayer continued to call out. The lights of heaven reflected me like an intricate map in the starry night.

Remembering, remembering. Deeper, further. The vails between the worlds dissolved as I found the bridge within my own being. The heart of the Mother entering mine with a love and compassion so great as to open my floodgates with an ocean of sobs, the longing now fulfilled. Breaking down any residue left from walls of fear and protection I once felt I needed. Divine Mother revealing my true heart, one in Hers.

A golden pink sunburst of light was freed from within in an instant. Connected to the Heart of Infinity, I was absorbed into Her radiant bliss beyond words. The never ending harmonic sound of my vibration caressed and guided me. In trusted abandon, I was no more. At last, One with all Creation. There are no more words.
