About
Training in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi at Wailana Malie clinic in Honolulu gave me something I couldn't have learned anywhere else. That education opened a door to understanding how ancestral Hawaiian healing works — not just the hands-on techniques, but the philosophy behind them. The generational knowledge passed down through my teachers showed me that real healing touches the body, mind, and spirit all at once.
I've spent eight years refining this work with clients here in Honolulu and across the island. What I do is precise muscle trigger point tension relief using my hands, palms, forearms, elbows, and knees. I focus on the neck, back, hips, piriformis, glutes, sciatica, hamstrings, and calves — the places where stress locks into your body and blocks your energy flow.
The way I work, I'm helping your vital force — your mana, your chi, your prana — move through your body without obstruction. When those energy blockages get unknotted, something shifts. Your nervous system balances out. Circulation to your brain improves. Digestion works better. The mental fog lifts, and you feel clearer, calmer, more yourself.
I offer this work both in my studio near Waikiki and mobile throughout Honolulu and surrounding areas, with sessions available 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. Whether you're dealing with radiating pain, chronic tension, or just need to let go of what's been weighing on you, this is real Hawaiian bodywork — Ho'oponopono — designed to balance your whole self before the sun sets each day.

Testimonials
The massage was fantastic, and I felt energized with all soreness gone. It was a truly exceptional healing experience that stood apart from other work I've received. I highly recommend Art for a healing experience you will enjoy.
Art deserves top marks for his massage work. He communicates well, making sure he understands your pain and needs before proceeding. His massage is intuitive and deeply healing. I had radiating pain from my glutes and hips down through my hamstrings, and he worked them with both firm and caring pressure. The pain dissipated, and days after the massage I still feel less pain and have better mobility. I highly recommend him.
After several months away, I was struck by how much Art's knowledge and skill have grown. He is very gentle but highly effective. He understands the connection between the central nervous system and its impact on muscles and digestion. My neck and shoulders were noticeably more relaxed after the session. The energy channeling he brings is definitely a standout part of his work.
This was the best muscle massage therapy I have ever received. Thank you, Art.
I got so much more than expected from a 90-minute session with Arthur. His warm, kind energy put me at ease immediately, and he explained everything in detail at the start so I could fully relax. I came hoping for relief from sore training muscles and got that, but also experienced an energy flow treatment I can't describe, incredible pressure point releases, and a connection with a deeply caring person. Hours later, I still feel an amazing sense of calm and relief.
Art is very thorough and effective — he went straight to the point, relieving tension in my neck, full top and lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. He's a calming person who makes you feel comfortable and trusting. This was the best bodywork I've ever experienced.
As a weekly local client of Art, I've been searching for authentic Hawaiian massage and lomi lomi, and I can confirm that Art is genuine in his quality and skillful in his craft. I highly and deeply recommend everyone experience this type of healing meditation.
Art's rare energy flow style created a life-changing experience for me. This is the best bodywork I've had in my life. Thank you.
Art created such a safe, comfortable space from the start, and I felt he truly connected with me on a deeper level, intuitively finding and working through my stress points. By my second visit, the experience was even better — he brings such calming, positive energy. Beyond his skillful hands and deep knowledge of Hawaiian healing tradition, he's a humble, grounded person and someone who genuinely loves giving back. His craft is truly exceptional, and I feel grateful to have found someone so passionate and gifted.

FAQ
What is lomi lomi massage and how is it different from deep tissue?
Lomi lomi is an ancestral Hawaiian healing practice that uses broad, flowing strokes and deep pressure to release muscle tension while also balancing your body's energy flow. Unlike standard deep tissue, which focuses purely on muscle knots, lomi lomi addresses both physical blockages and energetic stagnation — the belief that stress gets trapped in muscles and restricts your vital force, or mana. Art trained at Wailana Malie clinic in Honolulu and combines precise trigger point work with this traditional energy-balancing approach.
Is there a mobile massage therapist serving Honolulu with lomi lomi experience?
Yes. Art offers mobile massage throughout Honolulu and surrounding areas within a 50-mile radius, bringing spa-quality bodywork directly to your home or location. Mobile sessions run $150 for 60 minutes or $200 for 90 minutes, and include aromatherapy, a portable massage table, and music.
How much does a deep tissue massage cost in Honolulu?
Art charges $140 for a 60-minute deep tissue session in his Honolulu studio near Waikiki, or $150 if you book him mobile. Ninety-minute sessions are $180 in studio or $200 mobile. He combines deep tissue with trigger point work and lomi lomi techniques to address tension throughout the body.
Can Art help with sciatica and lower back pain?
Art specializes in precise trigger point tension relief for sciatica, lower back pain, and related tightness in the glutes, hamstrings, and piriformis. Clients report significant pain relief and restored mobility after sessions. He uses firm, controlled pressure and understands how central nervous system tension creates muscle knots that pinch nerves.
What techniques does Art use in his massages?
Art combines deep tissue, trigger point, lomi lomi, myofascial release, shiatsu, hot stone, reflexology, Thai, Swedish, and sports massage techniques. He tailors each session to your specific needs, whether you're recovering from training, managing chronic tension, or seeking energy rebalancing.
How long has Art been practicing massage therapy?
Art brings eight years of hands-on experience working with Honolulu clients. He completed formal training in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi at Wailana Malie clinic (2020–2022) and continues to draw on generational knowledge from ancestral Hawaiian healers.
Does Art offer same-day or evening appointments in Honolulu?
Yes. Art is available 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, both in his studio near Waikiki and for mobile sessions. You can text or call to book, and he works with flexible scheduling to fit your needs.
What should I expect during my first lomi lomi session with Art?
Art begins with clear communication about your stress points, pain areas, and what you hope to feel after the session. He works intuitively, using firm and caring pressure to release muscle tension while channeling energy flow throughout your body. Most clients report deep relaxation, relief from specific pain, and a sense of calm and clarity that lingers for days afterward.
