Aloha,

I greet each of you "Truly Happy New Years!" May 2013 be a year of wonder for all of us.

This is my 2013 VISION Collage. Each year I host a vision collage making event on New Years’ weekend at my Quaker meeting. FUN! I so enjoy the process and I also enjoy living with my collage in the months that follow.

MY VISION: THE PRACTICE OF MASSAGE FLOURISHES

Some people may think the continuation of massage in our society is a given. They may say, “People have always given massage and always will.” In contrast, I say, “The survival of massage requires intention and commitment.”

This is my vision: I see the practice of massage flourishing in our homes and in our communities. Together we not only maintain the practice of using careful, specific human touch to assist healing, but together we further develop the skills used in the healing practice of massage. WOW! This is fantastic!

Have you noticed that increasing automation has led to the decline of many manual skills in our society? Did you know that healers in Hawaii previously knew how to heal bones in a few hours using a special, focused process? That skill has been lost, at least temporarily. If not well tended, massage could likewise be lost.

I personally COMMIT to keeping the healing art of massage alive and well for our current generation and the generations which follow us. Will you join me?

MANA LOMI® TEACHER
BARBARA HELYNN HEARD, LMP

WA massage license # MA 00009734

I love teaching Mana Lomi®. In my teaching I emphasize body awareness, use of one's weight, development of keen palpation skills and the use of the creative power of the words. My intent as a teacher is to see the Light in each person and to help each student to be and to do their very best.

Lomilomi has been a primary focus of my life since 1996 when I graduated from Brian Utting School of Massage and established my active private practice in Seattle, WA. I've taught lomilomi since 2006.

ABOUT MANA LOMI®


Mana Lomi® is a style of lomilomi developed by Native Hawaiian Maka'ala Yates, D.C.- pictured here - drawing on his 16 year apprenticeship with beloved and well known teacher Aunty Margaret Machado, and his other teachers. This Big Island Style Lomi lineage is very therapeutic, specific work which addresses and helps resolve injury.
