CURRICULUM TRACKS

As The Poʻo Or Head Of Hale Ola, Hawaiian Healing Institute, One Of My Responsibilities (Kuleana) Is To Certify Instructors (Kumu) In Our Styles Of Healing Arts. For Lōkahi Lomilomi, We Have Three Tracks Of Experience And Training Which We Consider.

​

EKAHI

 

The First Track Is For Instructors Of Ohana Lomilomi. This Level Of Training And Expertise Is Ideal For Family Or Community Programs Of Self-Care And Family Care. This Approach Emphasizes Management Of Chronic, Inflammatory Conditions (Pain, Swelling, Color Change Of Skin, Change Of Skin Temperature, Loss Of Movement/Function) Using Lomilomi.

Each Cultural Experience In This Form Of Health Care And Healing Is An Important Element In This Learning Track.

​

ELUA

 

The Second Track Is For Instructors Of Levels 1, 2, Or 3. This Track Is Evaluated Rigorously To Ensure That Instructors Are Capable Of Providing Vocational Training To Future Practitioners Of Lōkahi Lomilomi.
