Kat was fantastic, I think I dozed in and out for the first half. She's the same masseuse I had booked before but she's starting her own business (she just moved from the big island) so this time I booked directly with her.
She is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! She sent a text message to let me know her arrival time (it was raining heavily and there was traffic), she has all of her stuff on a dolly, rolls right up, sets up and BAM she's ready to go. Her table is amazingly comfy- she has some sort of thick sheepskin padding that she covers with the softest sheets. She goes into the bathroom and you undress and get in face down.
She does a preliminary pat down to assess how loose your muscles are then she starts on the left foot/leg/butt then the right foot/leg/butt using both the lomi lomi long strokes and Swedish technique. Then she covers you and moves to the back, left arm/hand, back, right arm/hand then back in depth. She worked on the knot (that I didn't know I even had until she identified at the last massage) on my left lower back, I asked for more pressure in between my shoulder blades and she worked out knots there and then she loosened up my shoulders.
Then you flip over onto your back and she starts on your neck in depth (her technique is FANTASTIC - she does this really neat lift the head and massage the neck while moving the head around), head massage, more shoulder work and finally she also massages the face. She works on the eyebrow muscles, forehead, cheek muscles and jaw. I didn't realize the muscles in my face even needed a massage!!!
She used essential lavender and rose oils to relax and soothe and at the end a eucalyptus/ rosemary oil to revitalize. Smelled amazing!!!!
She is so sweet and has great vibes- I felt so happy and relaxed afterwards :-D. The best way to start and end a vacation!!!! read more
