What's the difference with your lomilomi from others out there?

There are many different styles of lomilomi. With the arrival of the Western culture, the ancient Hawaiian ways were banned and lomilomi along with hula, la'au lapa'au(medicinal herbs), and lua was kept alive secretly within families. Lomilomi was hidden within different family groups and the styles were diverse. Each family preserved what was relevant and important to them. There is no one way to do lomilomi or a "correct way". There are many ways, and as practitioners we are all one and practice knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. My lomilomi genealogy is from Papa Kalua Kaiahua, the great healer from Maui to my teacher, Kumu Karen Leialoha Kaanehe Carroll. Lomilomi is not only a physical science it is a spiritual art. When I do lomilomi, I humbly ask my ancestors as well as the ancestors of the person on my table to help with the healing process. I have also been taught how to use seashells to help assist with clearing the body of blockages.
