What is Pohaku Wela Lomi?
"Pohaku Wela Lomi" is Hawaiian for Hot Stone Masssage. It is possibly the ultimate in massage techniques combining massage with the use of smooth hot basalt lava stones and chilled marble stones. The hot and cold rocks encourage blood flow through the muscle tissues which flushes toxins and triggers the body's self healing mechanisms.

Pohaku Wela Lomi can be combined with Aromatherapy here at Therapeutic Essentials to give you a treatment, which is truly ‘out of this world’. The hot stones work perfectly as little burners, infusing the air with heavenly scents. The heat from the stones also aids the body’s uptake of the essential oils during the treatment.

The atmosphere created during a Pohaku Wela Lomi treatment is perfect for allowing your body to find its natural balance. Pohaku Wela Lomi is nurturing, healing and invigorating to the Body, Mind and Spirit.
