Heartworks Lomi Lomi
A Heart-Led Introduction To Sacred Hawaiian Healing
This Is Where The Remembering Begins.
If you've been feeling a quiet (or not-so-quiet) calling to work with your hands.
If you're craving something more meaningful, more embodied, more real.
If you know deep down that healing isn't just something you do — it's something you are.
Welcome. You're in the right place.
What Is Lomi Lomi Massage?
Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian healing art that goes far beyond standard massage techniques.
Using continuous, flowing movements that mirror ocean waves, this sacred practice works with the body's natural rhythms to release tension, restore balance, and support deep nervous system relaxation.
But this is not a technique-heavy, mechanical approach. And it's not about "fixing" bodies.
This training gently guides you into presence, flow, and intuitive touch — the very essence of this ancient Hawaiian healing art.
A Sacred Introduction To Heart-Centered Bodywork
Heartworks Lomi Lomi Level 1 is a foundational training that introduces you to the art, philosophy, and embodied practice of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage.
You'll learn how to offer bodywork that feels nurturing, grounding, and deeply restorative — for both the giver and the receiver.
Rather than memorising routines, you'll be guided to:
Feel the body beneath your hands
Work from your centre, not just your muscles
Move with rhythm, breath, and flow
Offer touch that feels safe, spacious, and loving
This approach makes the work easier on your body, more intuitive to learn, and far more powerful for the people you treat.
Many students say this Lomi Lomi training feels less like a course… and more like coming home to themselves.

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.
I’ve taken Lomi Lomi before, do I still need to start at level 1?
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.
Will I recieve a certificate for my courses?
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).
Don't I need to have a cert IV or Remedial Massage to be a massage therapist?
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!
