I participated in Haunani’s three day Lomilomi Workshop in 2009 as part of the International Lomilomi Conference in Oahu.  Students were mostly practitioners from Japan, Switzerland and New Zealand.  Haunani shared a wealth of knowledge, it was fun and a deep spiritual experience.  We were a family for those three days as we explored the essence of the Hawaiian Healing Arts.
This is Haunani’s first Workshop in Rotorua New Zealand at our Lakeside Retreat or local Taheke Marae (depending on numbers).  Book soon so you don’t miss this one off very special workshop for all bodywork practitioners to enhance your skills or anyone who is passionate about learning Lomilomi Massage and healing from an indigenous prospective.
