I've had the privilege of receiving Lomi Lomi massage from Jonathan, and it's truly been a transformative experience. I am a recreational runner with lower back issues (degenerative disc disease). I've been seeing Jonathan for several months and noticed a marked difference in my standing level of back pain as well as improvement in my running. From the very first session, I felt completely safe, seen, and supported--something that's incredibly important with a modality like Lomi Lomi. Even before our first session, Jonathan has worked hard to build trust and ensure I felt safe, comfortable, and able to voice my needs throughout the session.
Jonathan has a rare gift for tuning in--not just to the physical body, but to where tension and stress might be stored. He always takes the time to understand what's going on with me that day/week/month, both physically and energetically, and tailors each session with genuine care and intention. His approach isn't just about relaxation in the moment--it's about creating lasting shifts over time and true, deep healing for the client.
Jonathan is an excellent and intuitive listener, and works with me before and after each session to problem-solve specific issues and make longer-term plans for the care he's providing. Whether I'm dealing with a recurring or new issue, he doesn't just go through the motions--he works through it with me, checking in ahead of the appointment, adapting techniques, and checking in throughout the process. Each session builds on the last, and I always leave feeling pain free, emotionally grounded, and deeply cared for.
As a busy single mom who works full-time, I cannot place enough emphasis on the important mental peace the sessions provide. Because of the setting that Jonathan provides, I am truly able to de-stress and find mental peace and relaxation during and after the sessions. I rarely get a moment for myself but I have prioritized these sessions because of the great benefit I receive. Jonathan makes sure I have every opportunity to be in the right mindset before the session starts and I've enjoyed the addition of having the opportunity to soak in the spa and to go into Zen mode (or a short nap) after.
If you're looking for a massage therapist who brings heart, skill, and intuition to the table--and who creates a space of true safety and healing--I can't recommend Jonathan highly enough. read more
