Our photographer about a 4-hand massage we gave him

Jade, student, 22 years

“It was the first professional massage of my life, and it was incredibly beautiful. I’ve never been touched with such steady presence — every movement so attentive, so gentle, and completely without expectation. The last time I experienced something that pure was probably as a small child — that same sense of being fully welcomed. Your confident, grounded hands made it easy for my whole body to release. Now everything in me feels soft and open, and I can’t stop smiling.”

"From the very beginning, it felt as if I were right there with you in Hawaii, dear Anja. Pictures of wild, beautiful nature kept popping up — animals, plants, that wide, open feeling. At times, it even felt like I was floating in the ocean. Your Lomi massage felt like the elements coming together — a smooth, flowing mix of movement, warmth, touch, and connection. I felt carried, supported, held in such a simple, human way. Old layers surfaced, new impulses found space — and I could feel myself more clearly again."

"I am very happy to share the very special experience of my Lomi Lomi journey/massage with Jana. For me, it was a very, very deep immersion and emergence into the body, through the body, and all that is beyond. A new layer of Lomi Lomi massage has unfolded for me, for which I am deeply grateful. I found myself in the water and in the air. Especially through Jana's gentle attention and mindful touch, I was able to deeply let go both physically and mentally and drift away. I experienced Jana's presence as fully present, yet also allowing much space for freedom. Lomi Lomi is a beautiful massage and so much more. Jana held a powerful, gentle space for me, which I found deeply healing, uplifting emotionally, physically, and mentally. Mahalo nui, dear Jana."

"My encounter with Jana and Lomi seems fateful. I don't use the word that often. Lomi came at exactly the right moment. My life was in a state of turmoil. My daughter was not well, she had great fears, my husband had an absurd accident, I had to pause my work. I felt like I was in a bad movie that was spinning faster and faster. On the drive to Jana's practice, I really doubted whether I would get through this whirlwind of life in one piece. I don't often have that feeling either. I was feeling really bad and had no idea what I could do to help my family and stay strong myself. Jana received me and listened to me attentively. I could feel how much she was with me. "Already then I could let go. Finally. My time on the couch is hard to describe. It was a roller-coaster through different feelings, spheres, thoughts, silence. I could let go, was held, guided. And yes, deeply healed. It may be strange to read this, even write it, it was deeply freaky, spiritual and healing. I left the practice with the clear awareness of being connected. I had no more doubts. And was deeply moved. And really. Piece by piece everything cleared up. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. What a gift. Mahalo!"

„For me, this “massage“ with Anja was life changing, evolving, and I believe in it’s potential to be for all who are open to receive that this is ancient practice is more than a masage! It was healing on many layers, mental, emotional, physical, even spiritual and ancestral. It allowed me to arrive into the eyes and body of the person I am today, (like updating the hardrive! ) release physical or emotional pains in my body in a very organic, gentle, respectful way. It was educational, to feel the anatomical blockages in my body, with the same kindness her movements were encouraging, instead of shame, frustration towards them as when someone pokes and prods. After years of therapies and treatments, this made my body feel whole, 10 times lighter, and somehow helped me to feel my emotions, and intuition with more ease. The before and after pictures of myself, will be in my mind forever. There is no forcing in her technique, despite it being an ancient Hawaii ritual, Anja surrenders and listens to and invites what is needed and called for by the individual who lay before her. Her clear and honest communication and boundaries, allow the body to feel safe enough to receive the transformation possible. The invitation to breathe, or even hearing her breathing may be intense for those not used to it, and yet an invitation to remember that our own breathing sounds are just like the ocean waves moving. Anja massages with a purity, respect, joy, warmheartedness , humility and wonder despite her years of experience. This massage is for the skeptic and the believer! For those who feel disconnected from their bodies or parts of themselves! For those who wish to experience the transformative power of even gentle, fluid massage, and those who usually may not allow themselves that! For those who are sensitive to all that is unseen, those who have been through shock and pain, I can highly recommend this to be a safe space to return home in one’s body and true emotional state of being, and find a trusting relationship to touch again.“

"Anja holds an incredibly loving, present and mindful space in which I can completely surrender to her wonderful hands. I have never trusted a massage therapist so much, so that healing takes place during the treatment and I feel more whole every time."

Anke, employee, 54 years

"Every Lomi Lomi massage with Anja is something very special and every time an intense experience. Anja understands, in a very appreciative and understanding way, to look at my issues with me and then process them in the Lomi. Many things are resolved, some things become easier afterwards and some things become very light and very clear. Each Lomi is a precious pearl on my very personal pearl necklace of life and I am very grateful for it. I have been going to Anja now since 2016, and I am already looking forward to the next massage."

Nicole, Feng Shui Consultant, 42 years

"Dear Jana, I would like to thank you very much for your soothing massage. Your gentle touch, the essential oils and the warm oil on the skin had a long lasting effect. In your beautiful practice I felt in good hands from the beginning and after our detailed preliminary talk I was able to let go wonderfully. A long-lasting physical pain could also be resolved after this session. Thank you very much for this great experience."
