Lomilomi is Hawaiian massage, using the loving touch, gentle hands and lots of aloha and intuition.  I studied lomilomi with Auntie Margaret Machado in 1997 and 1998 on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Now well into her 80's, Auntie remains a wise kupuna and an inspiration for all of us.  Below is a photo taken of her and her daughter, Nerita Machado.  Nerita continues to run the Hawaiian lomilomi school of massage on the Kona side of the Big Island, as Auntie Margaret has retired from teaching.
