My practice is an intuitive flow of slow stretches and deep (but not painful) pressure, given through the hands, elbows, feet, and knees with sensitively applied bodyweight. This combines acupressure, rhythmical movement, fascial work, and other techniques, all offered with an intuitive, listening touch.
Beyond technique, the practice is a moving meditation, with the intention to offer a clear space that invites you to enter gentle, deep and perhaps profound states of rest, self-healing, and insight.
I work on the floor on a king-size futon, and receivers remain fully clothed.

Lomi Lomi is a healing bodywork practice from Hawaii—a sacred dance of touch, presence, and connection. It invites the body to slow down, the mind to quiet, and the spirit to soften into a deeper state of awareness.
With flowing, wave-like strokes and generous amounts of warm oil, Lomi Lomi carries the receiver on a journey of surrender and renewal. Each movement is a dance—graceful, intuitive, and deeply attuned—guiding the entire body-mind system into a space of harmony and wholeness. Each session is unique, unfolding as a dynamic exchange between practitioner and receiver— a shared exploration of healing, presence, and connection.

Lomi Lomi is one of the many threads in her work— During Lomi sessions, Kika creates a nurturing space where the body can soften, the mind can quiet, and healing can unfold.

4Elements Massage (integrated with MyoFascial Release) is a client-led, systemic, and holistic approach to bodywork. Everybody is different, and you get to choose what style and depth of touch you want to receive.
There are 4 possible styles for you to choose from:
Earth style – uses deep & slow compression and decompression of the tissues
Water style – envelops your tissues in powerfully flowing, rhythmical strokes
Fire style – stretching, warming, mulching, mobilising the structure of the body
Air style – very gentle and slow with more stillness, space, and quiet presence
Sessions can be with or without oil, and clothed or unclothed (draped) according to what style of massage you ask for and what feels comfortable for you.

I love how each session is individual and unique, the art of giving haptic expression to whatever the clients are coming with and asking for. And I love the resonance between CI and 4Elements, especially in terms of using weight rather than effort, tactile subtlety and sensitivity, somatic listening, and the feeling of contact, being met, meeting another. And how powerful and beautiful it is when people feel safe and met enough to really let go and receive the touch they've asked for.
4Elements Massage training up to Advanced level, including Trauma Discharge Therapy (4Elements Company); CiMFT (MFR UK); CST1 (Upledger Institute); plus assorted other trainings.
