Professional History

I currently own my own business called Lomi Lomi by April located in the Ballard area of Seattle.I Held a Student practice for the 18 months I was in school and had many repeat clients who still see me now. I also volunteered in South Seattle for the Somali Women's refugee program and provided free massage to women who fled to America from the civil war in Somalia. I have provided a day of free massage in Olympia to legislators at the capitol building during 'College Day on the Hill'. All of these experiences have enriched my practice and have given me the opportunity to reach a diverse and grateful clientele.

Education History

Graduate of Cortiva Institute, class of 2009.

My education began in 2007 while attending Cortiva Institute. After graduation in 2009 I began my own business mainly practicing the Hawaiian style of massage called LomiLomi. Roughly translated this means 'rub' but lomi is so much more. It includes lots of oil and long, full body strokes which warm the tissue and increase circulation. Rather than just using hands, I will use elbows forearms and ocaisionally knees to vary the techniques and pressure. After a Lomi massage, you may feel euphoric and need to drink lots of water to flush out toxins. Hot stones can be a wonderful addition to help treat deeper structures within the body. I focus on bringing positive energy and compassion to the client and working with your body to help it heal and function optimally as it will, once pain and tighness is removed.
