What Clients Are Saying

"I have received great bodywork over the years but what Matthew does is unique, astonishing and profoundly helpful. Probably the best work I have ever received, this works on all levels, restoring body and spirit. Do yourself a favour and experience this. It's sensational."

- Mark S.

“To call Ancient Lomi Lomi a massage is an understatement to me. What I experienced with Matthew was more like a journey outside time and space. The sensory input between his touch and the music, provided a container, a safe space, a space where I was free to be myself and yet not alone.

I, too, am someone who had many traumas and carry fearful memories in my body. After that evening, so many of them vanished. I was given an experience of being safe and ecstatically enjoying being in a physical body.

All helping towards trusting life more, resting in the experience of a benevolent universe.

Thank you Matthew, I recommend your work warmly. You are gifted with a beautiful soul and wonderful hands.”

- Sonja A.

"Holy shit. This work was unlike any massage I've ever experienced. It's been four days since my session and I'm still processing what I can only describe as a sacred encounter. I suspect I will be for some time as I'm no longer the same person. Without question, when I'm ready, I'll be back.

Seriously, if you're working through stuff in your life, then give Ancient Lomi Lomi a shot. Let Matthew lead you through a therapeutic encounter in a safe, respectful environment. You will not regret it."

- Sven T.

“My experience with Ancient Lomi Lomi was unlike any other body treatment I have ever experienced.

The [length of the] session gave space for me to embrace the entire experience: how the warmth of the space made me feel safe and comfortable, how the vibrations of the music made me feel alive and present, and how the physical touch allowed me to feel cared for, honoured and appreciated.

The preparation Matthew provided beforehand was extremely helpful…I would recommend this experience to everyone. Your body will thank you.”

- Heather S.

“It felt as if my soul traveled through time with the music that was intuitively chosen for my session. I also felt that this session is not only body work but also energy work as I worked through emotions that came up. This is by far one of the most POWERFUL healing sessions that I have felt!

Thank you Matthew.”

- Harold B.

“My Ancient Lomi Lomi massage was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was all encompassing and embraced all aspects of mind, body, and soul. For me, it was very much a uniting of those things to bring clarity and an inner vision to walk into the future with.

I found it helped me to listen to what was inside of myself without the hushing that happens during busy periods of life.

A tap to my inward self, my own authenticity.”

- Shannon K.

“With the first thunderous crack of music my mind wanted to abort the session before it got started, trying desperately to make my body get up and run.

[But] my body knew that this work was what it was longing for, calming my mind within a minute or two.

And so began the ineffable ceremony that rhythmically danced in, with and through Matthew and me, its cadence fluidly releasing unknown traumas held within my body while past remembrances simultaneously ebbed and flowed.

My body's primordial essence shimmered with delight for hours after the massage had ended.”

- Carol S.

“I felt extremely pampered and taken care of.  But not only that, it was a real ‘experience’… the combination of the music and deep massage took me to some wonderful places…saw beautiful colours, sights and visions! At times even sorted things out in my head, but mostly just went along with this sensual, warm, healing, and restorative adventure!!!”

- Garett T.

“Matthew’s peaceful presence and attentive listening skills put me at ease right away.

Throughout the session, I experienced periods of tension alternating with periods of release and ease. By the time the session was finished, I was in a blissful state of relaxation. My whole body felt like it was in a deep state of rest. My face even looked more relaxed (and dare I say...younger!).

I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone who is interested in experiencing Ancient Lomi Lomi.”

- Colleen R.

“When I first arrived for my Ancient Lomi Lomi massage I wasn’t sure what to expect. I assumed it to be similar to most therapeutic massages that I’ve had before but just longer. However, it ended up being a fascinating experience.

During the massage I was deeply lost in my thoughts, as the movements and motions guided me through what felt like was a transcending experience. I felt like a kid again in a lot of ways, I was mentally revisiting memories I hadn’t thought of in many years. I felt engaged with all past experiences that were emerging during my session.

In short, I was blown away.

It took me a few days just to be able to describe what it was like to others around me. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to ever completely articulate the experience, similar to trying to explain a dream to someone.

I would highly recommend this experience to my peers and encourage them to allow themselves to let go during their session to see what they might encounter in the depths of their relaxed state.”

- David L.

“I only wish I had three more hours. Thank you so much for your work.”

- Kanani D.

“I appreciated the opportunity to experience Ancient Lomi Lomi. It was quite a new experience and so there was some fear. But Matthew’s professionalism and gentle way of communicating helped ease the way. Also, felt like a place of acceptance to whatever arose.

Matthew created a safe space that allowed me to experience an ever-so-subtle but real reconnection between my body and mind in a way that I haven't felt before. This, along with the vibrations of the music, made it feel like inner healing took place. Many thanks for this.”

- Kathleen M.

“The facial massage - not simply of the face but also of the soul...my entire head was immersed in softness and warmth, as if being cradled by angel wings. A spiritual and physical experience of cleansing, culminating in total relaxation and stillness of mind...a blessed sense of peace. Highly recommended!"

- Sharon K.
