The oil felt smooth on my skin and not hot or cold to the touch. She worked her way from my neck and shoulders to my arms, back, legs, and feet. The next 30 minutes were extremely relaxing. I had a few minutes to undress and lay down (there is a towel to cover yourself) and she knocked before coming back in. Sanae asked me which areas of my body felt the most achy (in my case, my upper back and feet.) She would pay special attention to these areas.Īfter selecting my oil, Sanae gave me a disposable pair of underwear and showed me a basket to put my clothes in. There were other oils including some for energy, detoxification, and purification. Just the first scent of it had me imagining a long nap in the shade on the beach. I chose the “Relax” oil for stress relief. Next, Sanae showed me an array of aromatic oils and let me smell each to choose one for my massage. After a few minutes she lifted one foot and gave it a deep rub with her hands. I sat down on a stool and Sanae placed my bare feet into a hot (but not scalding) foot soak…ahhh…just what I needed after that run. The staff was extremely friendly and spoke enough English to explain to me what kind of massage I was getting (30 minute Lomi Lomi massage.) My massage therapist, Sanae, led me into a small room with soft music playing to a soundtrack of waves crashing on the ocean. (I was trying to get back to the Main Gate at Foster…whoopsie!) My feet were literally aching for some TLC.įirst impression of Chu Chu: small but inviting, with water cascading behind a glass fixture in the front window. My four-miler turned into a ten mile trek when I got lost and found myself at Kadena Gate 2. You see, after my first week on the island, I felt confident enough to venture off base for a four mile run, sans map. I had good reason to look forward to a massage at Chu Chu. Marie and Sarah were invited as representatives of Okinawa Hai to tell you about the lomilomi massages offered at Hawaiian Healing CHU CHU (Chu means beauty.) This type of massage originated in Hawaii but has made its way here to Okinawa. In a word association game, I’m sure “Massage” and “Relax” would often go together, but unless you are Hawaiian, I bet you wouldn’t think of the word, “Lomilomi.” Maybe you should in Hawaiian “Lomi” or “Lomilomi” mean to rub, press, squeeze, massage, to work in and out. Sarah and Marie enjoyed the massages, but the opinions are all ours. We were recently invited to enjoy complimentary massages at ChuChu Hawaiian Massage in partnership with Plat Okinawa. It is best to leave the oils on as long as possible for best absorption and maximum benefit.CONTRIBUTED BY SARAH FORTE AND MARIE LEWIS You should avoid showering immediately after your treatment.
