Lomi Lomi is a very beautiful Hawaiian massage form that mainly involves massaging with the forearms and applying long and flowing massage movements with a generous amount of warm oil.
The massage form that I give is the Kahu Abraham Style or the Temple Style Lomi Lomi where the movements mirror the rhythms of nature, from sparkling waterfalls to powerful ocean waves.
A Lomi Lomi massage is a fairly intimate massage between giver and recipient. It helps heal, trust, let go of the body, clear emotional and mental blockages, or experience a feeling of unconditional love. The holy temple (massage room) offers a safe environment to be vulnerable, to surrender to the masseur's hands and is open enough to be who you really are.
Because a lot of oil is used, you lie on a table with an oil-resistant sheet during the massage. It is common to be naked all over the body so that the long smooth strokes over the entire body can be easily performed and the flow of the massage is not interrupted. The intimate parts of your body are neatly covered with a sheet.
On your first appointment I'll have a conversation with you to get acquainted and to find out what your wishes are. I will also conduct a brief history in which I request a number of data from you that are important for a responsible and safe treatment. This includes questions about your lifestyle, physical complaints, possible illnesses and allergies.
I will tell you briefly how the massage will be given. It is wise to go to the toilet before the massage, so that you can enjoy your massage undisturbed. Then the preparation for the massage begins.
Massaging becomes easier with as little clothing as possible. In this way, long massage movements are possible, from top to bottom. These types of massage movements help you to feel better connected to your entire body. After a few massages you will find that you accept your own body more easily and that you feel freer and more relaxed. This brings out the deep relaxation that I want to achieve with the massage even better. By taking off all your clothing, you will not suffer from oil stains in clothing or underwear that are difficult to remove. If you find yourself completely unpleasant or unsafe, you can of course keep your underwear on. I take everyone's limits into account.
I will leave the room before the start of the massage so that you can undress. Then you lie on your stomach on the massage table. When you're done I will come back and cover your body completely with towels, so that you will feel warm and comfortable. Only that part of the body that is being massaged is exposed and when I turn around on the massage table I hold a towel over you. During the session I will not talk to you, so you can relax deeply. Soothing music sounds in the background. If you want to talk, you can. If you experience discomfort during the session, let me know immediately.
You should be deeply relaxed after the massage and sometimes even in a dreamy, meditative state. You can just stay there for a while. I then leave the room and after 5 minutes I will return to lightly remove the oil by giving strokes over the towel. Then I leave the room and you get all the time to get off the table and get dressed. Stand up slowly and sit quietly before you get up to prevent dizziness. You say goodbye and go home. Beware: take it easy on the way, because you may still be very relaxed. Sometimes it seems like you are coming from 'far'.
Tip:drink some extra water after the massage to better remove waste released by the massage and to prevent headaches.
A massage can help to release pent-up emotions and emotional blockages. By stimulating the pressure points and meridians, the energy can flow freely through your body again and the fatigue disappears. In addition, a massage stimulates the autonomic nervous system and restores the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. During the massage, the release of the stress hormone cortisol decreases and the production of endorphins (happiness hormone) and oxytocin (cuddle hormone) increases, which causes a blissful feeling.
A massage ensures a better blood circulation and removal of toxins and waste materials so that your muscles feel smooth and relaxed after a massage. It also improves the immune system, reducing the risk of disease. Other symptoms that can be reduced or corrected include stomach and intestinal problems, high blood pressure, concentration problems, tense muscles, neck and back complaints and fatigue.
In summary, a massage not only provides a deeper relaxation for body and mind, but it also has the following advantages:
Do you prefer to be massaged in your trusted environment? That's possible, I'll come to you. You only need a room that can be heated well and where there is room for my massage table (+/- 2.5m x 4m). I'll bring everything necessary. You can choose between the existing massages. A surplus of 25 Euro will be requested for each massage. This contains the transport and time for setting up and breaking down the massage table.
The massage at home is only given if you live within a radius of 15 km and when it is easy to park in the vicinity of your home.
Below, some customers share how they experienced the massage
Upon entering you experience the peace and quiet and Gert is the peace itself. Blissful 2-hour massage, I will definitely return. I can't easily relax and escape reality, but those hands really do their job. They will definitely see me again. Thank you Gert
Today I had a wonderful massage. I have been to many places, but I had never felt Gert's movements. I became very quiet (which is not easy for me) and enjoyed it very much. At the beginning he was 'careful', but after a while he started to give more pressure. Gert takes enough time and does not stop when the clock indicates that it is time. He will certainly calmly give every part of the body sufficient attention. Recommended!
What a wonderful visit to Adempauze! A moment of de-stress, breathe and deep relaxation. I left really deeply relaxed and completely in my flow!
Wonderful and honest massage! A total experience when you enter Adempauze. Gert gives you a warm welcome and his magical hands make you relax in no time! Highly recommended on Friday to enjoy it all weekend. I would love to come back and will gladly recommend you!
Just be out of the world ... to wake up in a new world after a 2h intensive massage! SUPER!
Gert ensures that during the massage all the tensions in your body dissolve like snow in the sun. While you are being massaged, time stands still for a moment and you come to a deeper state of relaxation.
Adempauze (breather).... yes it really is the right name ... the right feeling what you get when you just enter the room .... a very pleasant quiet reception ... both the room and Gert radiate the peace .... and how nice to really get the time to sink into the depths .... It's been a long time ago that I was in such a deep relaxation .... a very nice moment / experience to catch my breath and to get back in touch with my body ... highly recommended !!!
Last week I received a wonderful and relaxing massage from Gert. Quiet reception with questions if you are bothered by something. A nice massage room and a wonderfully soft table. I have never laid on such a soft headrest. It is a body massage that lasts about 2 hours and where you can indicate what you like. I can recommend this massage to anyone. I'm definitely going back! Gert, keep it up!
Highly recommended... you will be taken care of by Gert and come out reborn. I experienced a real 'breathing pause'. Thank you for this experience!
In times of skin hunger, a massage from Adempause is a treat. I chose the Lomi Lomi massage. My body has completely calmed down and landed because of Gert's dedicated and loving hands and arms. Nice that you get a lot of space here and that he really takes his time. Thank you Gert!
Gert is a hand artist. Just got a massage from him for the first time and it was simply masterful. It fully enjoy the nice warm reception and the 2 hour wonderful massage. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a break for mind and body. Excelent!!!
What a pleasant experience, a massage from Gert. Gert radiates peace and is in my view a man of few words but great deeds. From the moment that Gert receives you you feel yourself easily. Ideal if you want to get away from it all and want to relax both physically and mentally. He takes plenty of time to carefully and professionally handle every part of the body without making you feel uncomfortable. Despite the fact that I am a person who is difficult to let go of her thoughts and concerns, I have caught myself falling asleep at the end. I could easily have stayed for a whole day. What a must! I'm definitely going back!
It was a fantastic massage. Gert took his time to have a conversation first as it was my first time and after that the 2 hour massage seemed only 5 minutes. What a recommendation!!!
The finest, most honest and most reserved, satisfying massage ever, I'm going to pamper myself once a month, at Adempause .... blissful!
I can recommend the massage at Gert for everyone who wants to relax, for anyone who needs a break, and wants to get back in their own flow. Gert possesses the gift of massaging with his full and undivided attention, in a way that speaks of the highest respect for the person on the table. As if you are allowed to drift away to a place where you can simply be you. Highly recommended!
As always, a fantastic "me time" moment, 2 hours of pure relaxation. I've been coming here for several years and Gert always takes the time to welcome you The Mindfulness massage is incredibly relaxing. Much more like a Breather! Gert always puts you at ease, very professional, a warm person who radiates peace. Thank you Gert and see you soon!
Your massages are fantastic, I already mentioned that. Your skilss and your full attention to what you do, provides a deep, physical and mental relaxation. A true benefit! Lomi Lomi massage does this too, but for me it goes even further. You really feel the therapeutic effect afterwards. Working on the connective tissue has a major impact. Let go of what you no longer need and slowly rebuild energy. Great, highly recommended! Do take enough time for yourself after the massage to allow the physical and mental effect to fully happen. Then cosi cosi on the couch with a tea and you are fully charged! Thank you Gert!
Just got a massage from Gert ... more than worth it! Despite some fears, I booked a hot oil massage through his site. The introduction was very natural and pleasant. After I lay down my tired sore body without hesitation on his wide, long treatment table, he started the warm oil massage. Anointed and healing, that's how I experienced it. At the start I thought for a moment "I am going to book a second massage afterwards" ... Fortunately I quickly got into a complete relaxation and my thoughts fell silent. I also particularly appreciated the background music. Casual atmosphere where you are happy to have given yourself this gift. I can compare ... Gert really is an excellent masseur and the name "Adempauze (breather)" describes what you get.
Today I went to Gert for a wonderful 2-hour massage .... just a complete zen moment ... blissful ... thanks Gert ... I'll definitely come back again... keep up the good work ... highly recommended!
Last week I had booked a massage ... I would like this weekly. Two hours away from the world, completely relaxed. I felt the tension go out of my body. It is so important that we take care of ourselves ... No doubt worth repeating! Thank you very much Gert
As someone who can't (couldn't!) relax and/or get massaged easily, I feel like I'm in safe, capable hands with Gert, which brings me to a relaxation that is unprecedented for me. He has a gift and it's remarkable how he is completely present and focused. Lovely!!!! I would recommend him to everyone!
Need me-time?
Or do you want to disappear for a moment in the daily struggle against time? Well then I recommend a moment at Adempauze (breater)!
The friendliness, tranquility and warmth with which Gert welcomes you, automatically reassures you and makes it something that revolves around you. I don't get much rest myself and have a lot of trouble clearing my head. Still, Gert manages to get me completely into "zen mode" every time. Even the days after you feel the new energy that you receive still reverberating. A blissful feeling when your body and mind are completely relaxed.
Thank you Gert for taking care of us with such passion!
BREATHTAKING .... JUST ENJOY .....
Had a massage from Gert on Wednesday: only one word for it: ZEN! Two hours of pure relaxation. Simply TOP! Gert is the rest itself. That, together with his great massage, makes me feel completely calm. See you soon Gert!
I like massages and I mainly choose those who work deeper such as shiatsu etc. but sometimes you really need deep relaxation, completely let go and get away from the world. With all due respect for the relaxation massages you currently find everywhere, but I always miss something .... That's why Gert's mindfulness relaxation massage is so unique! You come in complete relaxation, but at the same time he works on a deeper level and that makes this massage really very special. The attention and focus that you get for 2 hours is pure indulgence, but at the same time this also puts your energy flow back in balance. My favorite and for what a bargain price for 2 hours! Thank you Gert! I am a customer!
With a deep respect for the human body, these magical hands are of unprecedented order! Highly recommended!
It was in one word fantastic! The peace that both Gert and the environment radiate is enough to make you feel good immediately. The respect and kindness you receive from Gert give your body and mind a real boost. For 2 hours just enjoy, come to yourself and relax. It is nice to know that it is still possible in all serenity and tranquility. Thank you Gert, I will definitely be back!
This was the most pleasant and intense massage ever. A lot of attention, nothing that doesn't feel organic, a very warm table and warm oil and then a very experienced person with golden hands and arms who guides you. Respect. I will return!
A real boost! Gert works with heart and soul and you can feel it, that makes it just as special and effective. I was out of the world for 2 hours. So it was much more than just a breather! Thank you, Gert!
ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!!!!
What a special experience, Gert has golden hands. Upon entering, there was a calming atmosphere with candles lit and relaxing music. After a very nice introductory meeting, the 2-hour wonderful mindfulness massage started. Gert massages with full attention and knows exactly what he is doing. Wow, total relaxation for body and mind! I felt completely relaxed and recharged afterwards. I'll definitely return!
What an experience! Highly recommended! Gert really paid attention to every square centimeter of my body with his magical hands! It actually made me emotional ... Thanks Gert, I will definitely be back!
From start to finish this is a wonderful and unique experience. Healing hands of integrity that calm you down, thank you Gert and see you at our next appointment. Warm regards Chantal
As soon as you enter the massage room, you immediately experience the feeling of peace and tranquility. Just as Gert himself radiates. During the massage you can be completely at ease, Gert takes all the time and gives his undivided attention. You experience a sense of timelessness, relaxation and "being away from the world". He is concerned with your physical condition and adapts his massage techniques to your own wishes: very soft or very strong. Almost every place of your body receives the same amount of attention, with due respect for your privacy. A must for anyone who needs me-time, or just wants to do themselves a favor. (note: provide enough empty space in your diary ... before you know it you are almost 2 hours later ...)
A special experience, your lomi lomi massage. The conversation beforehand ensured that I could open up with a feeling of peace. Afterwards experienced that something had been released energetically. Thanks Gert!
This massage was much more than just a relaxing moment. Gert asked me to choose an intention. I immediately felt: surrender. Surrender for the massage, but I also need to surrender in a currently intense theme in my life. It was a unique experience. The first time I received a massage from a man. Gert is calm and respectful, so I felt very safe. The lomi lomi massage was a revelation. I thought; I want to lie here all day, so blissful and healing. A blessing for my body, soul and spirit. I felt the effect of the surrender two days later. I woke up and felt the inner shift. The energy flows through my body again and this also brought me inner peace regarding that conscious theme. I can finally go into total surrender. I only then realized that my energy had stalled again a few days before. Thank you Gert for this beautiful experience. I'm going to give this present to myself more often.
Words cannot describe how blissful and satisfying this treatment by Gert is. In connection, with respect and softness, eye for the smallest details, golden hands, 200% attention, beautiful house, beautiful and warm massage room with fantastic bookcase, ... the best massage of my life in all areas. You will soon notice that Gert is a beautiful person. I am quickly back on his table.
Delicious! Enjoying a massage for 2 hours, thime flied. All elements were present to completely unwind, even hearing the rain ticking against the windows had a calming effect!
Adempauze (breather), I rarely came across a company name that is so appropriate. Gert's massage is complete, soft, deep and very relaxing, all in a very nice setting with attention to details. Absolute must!
Gert gives fantastic, healing massages. He takes his time and is very caring, loving and attuned. It feels very safe with Gert. I can only recommend it.
Very much enjoyed the professional and inspired massage by Gert. Really recommended. Utmost respect for body and soul, and skilled. Nothing but praise!
Are you in a busy period or need a moment of rest? Then Adempauze (breather) is really what you need! It does what it promises ... The world keeps on turning, but for you everything stands still for a moment. You completely recover from the massage and can then continue with new energy. You feel literally and figuratively in safe hands with Gert. Both his approach and massage are soft, dynamic and with a lot of respect. Thanks Gert, I'm still enjoying! See you soon...
Recently I won a discount coupon for a massage from Gert. Delightfully on time, because it had been a while. Just what I needed! The wellness massage calmed my body and soul. I have now determined for myself to do this regularly. Thank you, Gert!
What do I recommend? Everything! Every movement, every feeling is a unique sensation! Delicious!
