Sacred Bodywork is a Massage and Bodywork Continuing Education & Healing Arts Center in Miami Beach, Florida. We are dedicated to teach, promote and perpetuate the ancient art of Hawaiian Lomilomi, and promote and honor the Hawaiian culture and healing arts. As part of our Lomi Lomi curriculum we recommend all our Lomi students to gradually get immersed in the ancient wisdom of the Hawaiian philosophy, the magic of the Hawaiian mysticism. the universal principles of Huna and in the Spirit of Aloha. We want to be a cultural channel and inspiration for all of our students and allow them to fee, sense, live the touch of ALOHA, and while learning Lomilomi Temple Style learn the richness of the Hawaiian thought and spirituality as well.
