Price Increase (teeny tiny)

For the last two years Balance Massage has charged the same rates for top quality services that we provide despite rising costs. Unfortunately we could not hold off inflationary pressures any longer and our increase will be effective 1st March 2010. We have kept it as low as possible at $5 per session to ensure that we can retain our level of top quality massage and customer service to you our client.

As we are always looking to improve your Balance experience we have introduced an exciting on-line booking system (see above) which gives you more freedom to book on the spot and secure the massage time you want.

We value you highly as a client and want to continue serving you, so if you have any questions or concerns about this increase, please give us a call.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage

Aloha!! from Miwa at Balance Massage.

If your looking for a truely relaxing experience and something a little different you must try a Lomi Lomi Massage with Miwa.

Lomi Lomi simply means "Loving Hands" massage, what it is, is a unique healing massage derived from the ancient Polynesians and more specifically the master healers of Hawaii.
The reason it is called "Loving Hands" is that it works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nuturing the body and enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be. The focus of the practitioner on the client being deep and complete, using loving hands and a loving heart.

The Hawaiians look at things at terms of energy flow, following the idea that an idea or belief can block energy flow as much as muscle tension can. Lomi Lomi helps to release blockages, whilst at the same time giving the energy a new direction.
The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people describe this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the body. Another feature is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, for example, one arm or hand may be working on a shoulder and the other may be working on the opposite hip. This assists the recipient to totally relax as it is extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once.
Gentle stretches of the body and gentle rotations of the joints are also incorporated to assist the release of tensions and assist the flow of energy, once again not forcing but feeling the level of the clients resistance or comfort.

Because the practitioner works intuitively, a massage may be slow and very relaxing or at times it may be a little faster and therefore more invigorating and enlivening to the body. Sometimes the recipient may experience an emotional release as the massage can release and shift negative emotions, negative beliefs and other "stuff" that has been stored in the cells of the body, with the healing effects of the massage continuing long after the massage is over.

So call us today to book a Lomi Lomi massage with Miwa; available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

60 minutes $95

90 minutes $130
