My practice is an intuitive flow of slow stretches and deep (but not painful) pressure, given through the hands, elbows, feet, and knees with sensitively applied bodyweight. This combines acupressure, rhythmical movement, fascial work, and other techniques, all offered with an intuitive, listening touch.
Beyond technique, the practice is a moving meditation, with the intention to offer a clear space that invites you to enter gentle, deep and perhaps profound states of rest, self-healing, and insight.
I work on the floor on a king-size futon, and receivers remain fully clothed.

Lomi Lomi is a healing bodywork practice from Hawaii—a sacred dance of touch, presence, and connection. It invites the body to slow down, the mind to quiet, and the spirit to soften into a deeper state of awareness.
With flowing, wave-like strokes and generous amounts of warm oil, Lomi Lomi carries the receiver on a journey of surrender and renewal. Each movement is a dance—graceful, intuitive, and deeply attuned—guiding the entire body-mind system into a space of harmony and wholeness. Each session is unique, unfolding as a dynamic exchange between practitioner and receiver— a shared exploration of healing, presence, and connection.

Pantarei is a unique one-to-one therapy that combines hands-on bodywork, empathic spoken communication and movement.
It uses an innovative somatic approach that empowers the client to tap into their body intelligence as energy, resource and strength. This allows for blocked energy to move and release; for the client’s emotional, mental and physical parts to connect with more clarity. Together, the practitioner and client verbally describe the client’s experiences, and the practitioner uses both touch and instruction to guide the client through the sessions. Often an expansion of breath and free movement happens as an integration process, which is supported if the client wishes to follow it. Movement can be internal or external, initiated by the client or guided by the practitioner.
“My body feels looser, happier, more fluid… I have more energy and vitality” – Sara
