Lomi Lomi Fusion

3 Day Masterclass

By Sébastien Valla

Welcome to the Lomi lomi Fusion course, an innovative massage therapy approach that combines the rich Hawaiian tradition with modern elements of self-creation. Developed by Sébastien Valla, a French teacher with 15 years of experience in massage therapy and Lomi Lomi Gold Medalist in Paris 2024.

Lomi lomi Fusion is a technique based on two main pillars:

1.Traditional Hawaiian Techniques

The first pillar of Lomi lomi Fusion is rooted in the traditional techniques of Lomi lomi, an ancient Hawaiian massage practice. These techniques were learned directly in Maui, Hawaii, where I trained under experienced Kumus (masters) Lomi lomi is characterized by long, continuous, and rhythmic strokes, often compared to the waves of the ocean. These movements not only relax the muscles but also aim to promote the flow of vital energy (mana) and restore balance to the body and mind. The central philosophy of Lomi lomi is the concept of aloha, which translates to love, compassion, and respect, and is a fundamental part of the healing practice.

2. Elements of Self-Creation:

The second pillar of Lomi lomi Fusion involves incorporating techniques and elements of self-creation. This means that, in addition to traditional techniques, this approach allows practitioners to customize their sessions based on each client's specific needs. Elements of self-creation can include variations in pressure, rhythm, and additional techniques that complement traditional Lomi lomi. This flexibility is essential for adapting the massage to the realities of the modern world, such as increased stress, sedentary lifestyles, and other contemporary health issues. Thus, Lomi lomi Fusion is not just a technique but an art that allows for creative and individualized expression by the therapist.

Tools and Techniques

In the Lomi lomi Fusion course, students will learn a sequence of 1hour of massage and learn how to use a variety of tools and techniques to maximize the effectiveness of the massage. This includes using hands, phalanges, forearms, elbows, and even feet. Each of these tools offers different levels of pressure and can be used to reach various layers of muscle tissue and body structures.
