Lomi Pohaku Massage Melts Stress

Destination: Oahu/Waikiki
Article Source: Outrigger
I walk away from some massages feeling light and lively, like I’ve finally dropped a super-size suitcase, one that any airlines would slap me with an overweight baggage charge. Other times, massages leave me in a deep slumber, and when I do come to my senses, I slink off the table and speak gibberish for the remainder of the day. I left the Lomi Pohaku at Serenity Spa at Outrigger Reef on the Beach feeling like an ice cube that had just melted. Read More

Note to Self: Isn't It Time for a Massage?

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
You know those days when you say, “Calgon, take me away”? I was having one of those kinds of days when I entered the elevator on the ground floor of Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach and punched PH. Seconds later, the elevator doors drew back on the penthouse floor and presented the Waikiki Plantation Spa. It felt like waking after a long work week realizing it was Saturday. You exhale. Your shoulders relax. You stretch. Sometimes, all it takes is the right environment to put a new spin on your day. Read More
Hot Lava Rock Massage Bliss

I’ve heard the strokes of lomilomi described as long, gliding and deep. I’ve felt lomilomi practitioners use their hands, forearms, elbows and, even, feet. I’ve been told lomilomi may involve chanting, music, prayer and herbs, sticks and rocks. There’s no easy definition, no one description, because lomilomi practitioners from each family or district or island followed their own, unique practice. What I’ve gleaned is lomilomi is a holistic healing art. In essence, it’s not just about the massage. Read More
From Tempest to Tempting

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Hawaii Island
Article Source: Blog Post
I wish I could say my morning reminded me of this tranquil pond on Big Island. Unfortunately, my day started with what felt like a boulder hurled in the middle of a too small bathtub. It felt like the wind whirled a waterspout directly over my head—and my head only. Blessedly, with a little help, my day ended with me sitting beside the Kalakaua Summer Cottage in Keauahou and with me feeling just as clear as the house’s reflection in the water.

Girlfriend Getaway in Hawaii Day 3

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Kauai
Article Source: Blog Post
I’ve heard many different definitions of lomilomi, the simplest of which is that it’s a traditional Hawaiian healing art that incorporates massage. According to my Hawaiian dictionary, the definition of “lomi” is “to rub, press, squeeze, massage; to work in and out, as the claws of a contented cat.” Generally speaking, the massage technique is characterized by long, deep strokes using the palms, forearms, fingers, knuckles, elbows, knees, feet--even sticks and stones.

Big Waves, Yoga & Equanimity

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
As I write this, the ocean is swelling and waves are building as they roll over shallower depths making their way for these Hawaiian Islands—in particular, the shores of Ha’ena and Hanalei on Kaua’i and Waimea Bay, Banzai Pipline and Sunset on O’ahu. It is the first big swell of the season. (That’s the reason for all those vehicles toting surfboards you may see on the road today.)

Kapalua Spa: My New Happy Place

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Maui
Article Source: Blog Post
Last week, amid the sounds of water trickling through bamboo rafters and the cool touch of polished countertops made of beach glass, I joined the pampered people at the 3,000-square-foot Kapalua Spa, a ritual in which I strongly believe. Read More
Shiatsu & Massage Center at Waikiki Beach Walk

Article Source: Blog Post

I believe in pausing for sunsets, preferably on the sandy beaches of Polihale or Hanalei on Kauai. I believe in pinot noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon, preferably Lange Estate Winery & Vineyards. And I believe in massage--any kind. Deep-tissue. Lomilomi. Hot stone. And, now, shiatsu.

Massage Is My Meditation

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post

Recently, I scheduled a lomilomi massage at Ville de Coco day spa at Outrigger Luana Waikiki. When I arrived, I started making mental notes: The décor was modern in dark, painted woods and accented in sleek chrome. Soft music played. Water trickled from a fountain.
