The focus of this ancient practice is to release tension, alleviate stress, and dissolve negative emotions, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, and reconnected with your body. More than just a massage, Lomilomi is an art of healing that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit, creating a profound sense of peace and well-being.

Chavutti Thirumal Massage
This holistic therapy enhances circulation, encourages deep relaxation, and induces a meditative mental state, making it a perfect remedy for physical and emotional well-being. The name “Chavutti Thirumal” translates to “foot pressure” in Malayalam, and the technique itself has been practiced for centuries in Kerala, India.
The Technique
Using a suspended rope for balance, the therapist applies a combination of swift friction across muscle fibers and long, sweeping strokes with their feet. These movements are designed to stretch and realign the body, working to relieve tightness, ease stiffness, and promote a sense of calm and vitality. The massage can cover a variety of areas, including the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, hips, glutes, feet, hands, chest, abdomen, head, and face.
What to Expect
- Duration: Typically lasting 1 to 2 hours, the massage can be tailored to your needs and desired areas of focus.
- Oil: A blend of Ayurvedic oils or coconut oil is used to nourish the skin and enhance the therapeutic effects.
- Mat: The massage is performed on a comfortable, cotton-covered memory foam mat placed on the floor, offering a supportive surface for the treatment.
A Transformative Experience
Chavutti Thirumal is more than just a massage—it’s an experience that feels both sensual and powerful, leaving you deeply relaxed, yet fully recharged. Many clients describe it as life-changing, with its ability to balance the body and mind, offering an unparalleled sense of well-being.
