HawAIIAN Lomilomi

An ancient Hawaiian massage, patterned after the rhythms of the ocean. Lomilomi is a nurturing, flowing, gentle but invigorating “massage hula,” done with lots of forearm work and long, continuous strokes. I have completed 4 Hawaiian lomilomi courses over the years.

CBD MASSAGE

CBD Massage has been gaining in popularity in recent years for good reason. Research has shown that it can reduce inflammation, soothe muscles, and have a positive effect on pain, anxiety, and sleep. My CBD massage oil of choice features a combination of six herbs along with the organic hemp CBD (no THC), & and it is high in antioxidants.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

The classic Swedish massage method soothes sore muscles, while leaving the client relaxed.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep Tissue Massage is an intense massage to specific areas that store chronic pain and tension. Can reduce pain, inflammation, and spasms, and can be combined with Swedish.

Prenatal, induction, and Postpartum MASSAGE

The side-lying technique uses pillows & a wedge to make sure that mothers-to-be are comfortable during their Prenatal Massage. This massage helps relieve discomfort related to pregnancy. Prenatal Massage also aids in facilitating transitions through support and physical nurturing, while fostering maternal touch. In Hawaii, prenatal massage is called Hapai. Induction massage is offered from 38 weeks on and includes acupressure points to try to stimulate labor. Postpartum Massage is so very important for so many reasons, emotionally and physically. Mobile massage is great for Postnatal Massage.

Reiki

Reiki, pronounced “ray-key,” is a Japanese word that means “universal life force energy.” My hands are placed in various positions on the body to transmit this energy and allow the body to heal itself. Reiki can be combined with any other massage, and is a great way to rebalance and energize ourselves. Trained in 2004 by Reiki Master Chelsea VanKoughnett, The Reiki Alliance.

Aquatic Bodywork

Aquatic Bodywork, or water massage, encompasses many modalities including Watsu, Waterdance, Healing Dance and more. It is performed in a heated pool (usually around body temperature). I have been a Certified Watsu Practitioner since 2004, & have also completed Waterdance & Healing Dance courses. You can choose to stay at the surface or to be guided underwater with noseclips. It is a unique experience and can be very profoundly healing.

Julie Lefmann has been a continuously practicing Certified Massage Therapist since 2001, specializing in the highest quality Hawaiian Lomilomi, Prenatal Massage, Postnatal Massage, Induction Massage, Deep Tissue, CBD Massage, Watsu, and more. She has offered on-site massage, or mobile massage (in clients’ homes, vacation homes, offices…) since 2001.

She is deeply attuned to energy and breath, and has a sensitive, nurturing presence. Julie includes aromatherapy as a free option for her clients.

It was an honor for Julie to study Lomilomi with Aunty Margaret on the Big Island, and also with two other Lomilomi teachers in California & Oahu. She studied extensively at Harbin Hot Springs School of Watsu & Massage, and is so grateful for the privilege to have studied there with such world-renowned teachers as Harold Dull and Shantam. Julie also studied bodywork at the McKinnon Institute in Oakland, Twin Lakes in Santa Cruz, and Chico Therapy & Wellness.

Although Julie is well-known for being an excellent Prenatal and Postnatal Massage Therapist, she works on every type of body, and you certainly don’t need to be pregnant or postpartum to receive bodywork. Besides offering traditional massage, Julie is also a Certified Watsu Practitioner (warm-water meditation/massage) and a Reiki Practitioner (energy healing). Ask her about both!
