Lomi Lomi One Day Workshop

Learn a Temple Style Lomi Lomi back-body massage routine with Ellise.



7 hours Location Christchurch Class size 1 to 16 guests   £108 - £204 (£108 for Low Income; £144 for General Admission; £204 for Bring a friend)

I welcome you to meet one of the oldest and most healing forms of bodywork in a one-day workshop.
Lomi Lomi Temple Style is shamanic bodywork; it is ceremonial, spiritual massage from Hawaii that helps the soul awaken and the physical & emotional bodies to come back into harmony ~ learn a whole back body routine!
Learn an incredible Lomi Lomi massage routine for the back body ready to practise on your loved ones when you return home - you will receive a video recording to reference back to after.
~ No previous massage experience is necessary ~
Discover the philosophy of Huna & how we are intrinsically one with all humans, nature and the cosmos...
We will be breathing in and channeling Aloha - Universal Love throughout the massage, which is one of the key aspects to this style of bodywork.
It is in the breath, the inspiration, which is the link between heaven and our Earth bodies that is clearing and revitalizing our spirit, mind and body.
This is more than a physical experience: it also facilitates energetic release, to bring your mental, emotional and spiritual being back to wholeness.
Experience deep relaxation and relief from stress and pain, releasing stored emotions which cause muscle tension.
You will discover the very important component of learning to work with Aloha (breath of life), the HA breath and Mana (spiritual energy). You will also learn the cultural and historical background of this art.
There will be time for reflection, integration and sharing. The experiences of this day will give you a well-rounded feeling of Lomi Lomi massage and leave you feeling connected to Spirit and each other. I hope you will feel inspired to join me for the full training in Glastonbury, UK on the 22nd - 25th October 2027!

Your teacher

Ellise Toop
Ellise Toop


My name is Ellise, and I'm a massage therapist, bodywork practitioner and teacher, with over 10 years of experience.
My journey began with a love for massage and a curiosity about the ways we can connect and care for one another through touch. Over the years, my work has naturally expanded to include Lomi Lomi, somatic movement, breathwork, yoga and community-based practices.
I hold a Level 3 VTCT qualification in Massage Therapy and have apprenticed in massage teaching.
Today, alongside offering massage treatments, I teach Lomi Lomi trainings, facilitate couples massage workshops, lead somatic movement and yoga classes, and help with community grief rituals.
I'm passionate about the different ways we can reconnect with our bodies, build meaningful connections and support one another. Whether it's through nurturing touch, movement, sharing experiences or coming together in community, I love creating spaces where people can slow down, explore and feel more connected.
One of the most rewarding parts of my work is sharing what I've learned with others. I love seeing people gain confidence, discover new things about themselves and develop skills they can carry into their everyday lives.
With Lomi Lomi, I enjoy sharing not just the techniques but the presence, movement and philosophy behind the practice. I also love introducing people to the value of nurturing touch, somatic movement and creating space for emotional expression.
I'm a lifelong learner myself, and I believe there's always more to discover. My own journey continues to be shaped by the teachers I learn from, the people I work with and the experiences I have along the way.
Outside of work, I'm happiest exploring nature, spending time by the ocean, travelling and learning about spirituality and different ways of understanding ourselves and the world.
Through my workshops, my intention is to bring people together and share practices that encourage connection, curiosity, wellbeing and a deeper relationship with ourselves and one another.
