Take Your Massage Skills To The Next Level And Learn To Incorporate Therapeutic Lomi Techniques So That You Can Assess, Plan, Deliver And Offer Post Treatment Suggestions For Your Clients.
During these hands-on training classes you will learn how to treat the most common issues related to the shoulders and hips using therapeutic lomi techniques, which is about 95% of a massage therapist's clients' concerns, and just not intuitive flow.
Re-connect with students from your level 1 experience or meet new like-minded Lomi Lomi practitioners and develop further your techniques, adding new strokes and extending the massage you give.
The intention of this workshop is to bridge the Western way of looking at the body with the Hawaiian understanding of wellness.
Lomi Lomi massage (level 2) is a therapeutic training for all practical applications of delivering treatment to treat all the common alignments that clients will present with.
During this level, the therapist deepens their anatomy understanding and learns how to approach the body using Hawaiian body reading techniques.
Draping remains on the table and therapists learn to treat clients fully clothed and partially undressed.
The focus and intention for this training is for our students to feel comfortable working with more complicated issues.
This course is best suited for:
In total this course covers over 90 hours of training, however we have divided down to 3 smaller classes.
Our 100% hands-on approach gives you the skills and knowledge you need to take your massage skill from relaxation to a therapeutic (problem solving) massage therapist using the beautiful Lomi Lomi massage.

DEEP BODYWORK ADVANCED FOR SHOULDERS, CARPAL- TUNNEL SYNDROME AND RELEASING THE THORACIC SPINE.
Two areas of the body with which bodyworkers often find themselves confronted are the shoulder and the forearm/wrist. The increasing use of computer keyboards in this digital age have also increased the number of client complaints in these areas. This class also will focus on healing the neck from chronic and acute pain due to injury and postural issues, as well as freeing the chest and ribs with the intent of opening the vital function of breath. The capacity to fully expand our chests in taking a full, free breath is perhaps the body’s most important tool in unwinding the ongoing stress we accumulate in life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Just a few answers to our most common questions.
Our training school is based in Toowoomba, Queensland,. However, we will run training throughout South East Queensland and overseas as requested. Please contact us if you would like to know more.
Every teacher has their own unique gift and way of teaching, therefore students are required to start at level 1 in order to avoid the feeling of overwhelm that comes from inexperience as well as the basic body mechanics necessary to avoid injury to themselves or their clients.
If you have completed Heartworks lomi lomi beforehand and can show proof, you may apply for a reduction in price for level 1, however you will still be required to attend.
When Lomi is a path that you are passionate about, no training will be wasted but will all serve the greater understanding of the practice as a whole. Because you have learned from another teacher, it will assist you with a more rapid integration.
After each course is completed, students receive a certificate of completion with the Nationally Approved Provider verification information for continuing education points.
Currently, we are certified with MAA (Massage Association of Australia).
As Australia and New Zealand are deregulated in massage therapy the certificate IV is NOT the minimum certificate to start your massage career or business.
Via our 2.5 days “Heartwork Lomi Lomi Course” you can work legally and professionally.
If some training centres told you the minimum certificate is Cert. IV to start your massage career IT IS 100% WRONG and it is only because of their business and their policy.
To earn the qualifications to have a health provider number, then you will need to study remedial massage, however this course will allow you to work and earn full hourly rate while you are studying, if you choose to.
It is our pleasure to schedule a call to answer any and all of your questions. Send an email to hello@debbiekbarker.com and we will get right back to you!
