We were recently invited to the launch of the Lomi-Atsu massage that arrived recently at Scandinave Les Bains in the Old Port.
This new innovative concept was created by Noemie Gelinas who researched for years and even went to Hawaii to perfect this technique. Noemie visited Japan at 16yrsold and a year later she was learning the Shiatsu massage. At a very young age, she knew that massage therapy was in her path!

After studying all of these techniques, Noemie decides to merge the Shiatsu technique (which deals with pressure points) and the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage technique ( that is more of fluid movement and they also use their elbows and forearms) to give birth to the Lomi-Atsu.
I scheduled my appointment last week to experience this technique and I spent an amazing hour with the massage therapist.
I got a FULL body massage from head to toe! I picked a man for this massage because I tend to connect with men and I like a good arm to put some pressure on my body so it was ideal. When you look at the massage therapist practicing the Lomi-Atsu it looks like a beautiful dance! The extensions of the body reminds me of Tai Chi, the therapist uses their whole body to help circulate the energy.

The part that I was looking forward to was the Abdominal Massage that helps circulate the energy in the stomach. Every organ has an energy and the equilibrium between them helps gernerate the vital energy that we have. It even helps to release the toxins! In certain cultures, it is known that our emotions are related to our organs, massaging an area near the heart can bring out anger or a sense of joy ! One woman who received the abdominal massage, told me that at one point she started to laugh during the session! The massage therapist told her that the part she was massaging was related to the heart! Somebody is in a good place in her life!!! If someone massage your heart, what would be your reaction be?
Now this conversation is related to Taoism so i dont expect everyone to relate to this but I am sure that we can all relate to the fact that our stomach often indicates to us how we are doing….
Stomachs go through alot I must say! When I am nervous, excited or even scared EVERYTHING resonates in my stomach! So I can see how we would want to spend time massaging and releasing the tension in that area. I truly recommend it cuz it simply works and it is COMFORTING. I can even see myself asking my husband to rub my tummy once in a while! (i am not married yet….#wishfulthinking)
So this massage is complete, fun and ultra relaxing! You feel blessed and revived… need I say more?
Love yourself, Love others and get a tummy rub!
