Ancient Healing Wisdom and Alchemic Practices That Transform Through The Art Of Touch
Experience the Fusion of Lomi Lomi Massage, Sound Therapy, and Tai Chi Amidst the Tranquil And Sacred Settings on Gozo
The Art of Touch Studio is situated in the heart of Gozo under the guidance of the skilled and certified duo Magdalena and Corrado, who welcome you to explore a path towards self-care and wellness.
Drawing on ancient wisdom and practices, Magdalena and Corrado at The Art Of Touch provide a sanctuary for you to break free from the pressures of everyday life. Immerse yourself in the therapeutic art of Lomi Lomi Nui massage, indulge in the relaxing vibration of a Sound Bath, and harmonize your body with the serene motions of Tai Chi.
Lomi Lomi massage, often referred to as Hawaiian massage, is a traditional Polynesian technique that combines massage with the aloha spirit to heal the body, mind, and spirit. This holistic approach to well-being is more than just a physical experience; it’s a form of healing that incorporates hula dance movements and the application of oils, often to the sounds of Hawaiian music, to create a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The technique involves long, fluid, rhythmic strokes using the hands, forearms, and elbows, which can be gentle or deep depending on the needs of the individual and at The Art Of Touch you will be taken on a deep and rejuvenating journey of healing, both inside and out.
Lomi Lomi practitioners often use the term “loving hands” massage, as the practice is rooted in compassion, respect, and a connection to the natural world. This unique form of massage therapy is not only about relieving tension and stress but also about restoring harmony and balance within the body and between the individual and their environment.
Sound Baths might appear unconventional, yet they offer significant benefits as a wellness practice. Unlike guided meditation that relies on spoken words, Sound Baths utilize music and instruments like gongs and bowls to lead individuals into a meditative state. Not only do they help reduce stress, but they also serve as an ideal starting point for meditation newcomers. The direct effects of sound therapy on the human body include reducing pain symptoms and alleviating feelings of anxiety, tension, anger, and sadness.
In ancient traditions, the movement was crucial for health and success in life. The Art of Touch offers Tai Chi as studies and life experiences have shown that consistent practice can enhance flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. The focus on proper posture helps develop a deeper understanding of body movements. Additionally, Tai Chi serves as a meditation daily routine.
