Are you feeling disconnected, stressed, or burdened by physical or emotional pain?
By blending somatic awareness with the nurturing touch of Hawaiian bodywork known as Lomi Lomi, I offer a unique approach that empowers individuals to tap into their body’s innate ability and wisdom for self-healing.
Somatic therapy is a dialogue with the body. By attentively listening to and responding to the body’s cues, it aids in unraveling tension, breaking free from old patterns, and restoring a profound sense of wholeness and well-being.
Join me in this nurturing space of care and understanding, tailored to address your individual needs. You can seek inspiration, explore individual sessions designed to target your specific intentions, or venture further by participating in one of the retreats or workshops I offer, supported by my partner, Rafal. Whether you’re looking to find tranquility or share this transformative practice with others, I welcome you to this journey of healing and growth.

LOMI LOMI & KAHI LOA
Holistic healing practices of bodywork deeply rooted in Hawaiian tradition. These modalities utilise the power of touch, gentle movement, and energy work to restore the free flow of energy within the body, promoting balance and well-being. Both offer a unique and deeply nourishing experience, making them particularly beneficial during transitional periods in life, such as becoming a parent, navigating a divorce, making career changes, relocating, retiring, or recovering from trauma.
Lomi Lomi Nui is especially well-suited for those familiar with full-body massage techniques involving the use of oils.
EMBODIED REBALANCE
A gentle yet powerful form of somatic bodywork designed to restore harmony and balance.
Rooted in the understanding that the body holds experiences, emotions, and memories, this practice employs mindful touch, guided movement, and subtle somatic techniques to release tension, enhance body awareness, and deepen the connection between body and mind.
Unlike traditional massage practices, Embodied Rebalance does not involve the use of oils or require undressing. Instead, it focuses on the body’s natural movements, gentle touch, breathwork, and energy flow.
WORKSHOPS & RETREATS
Workshops and retreats tailored for individuals or couples, where the ancient wisdom of Hawaii meets a holistic approach.
Embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Deepen your understanding of your body and emotions, restore inner balance and well-being, and gain a fresh perspective on your life. Unleash your unique potential and tap into your innate healing abilities.
The individual training provides a wonderful opportunity to unwind, tune into your intuition, and acquire practical tools that enhance your everyday life.
WORKSHOPS & RETREATS
This is an invitation to delve deeper into a unique space that blends the ancient wisdom of Hawaiian healing art with a truly holistic approach.
After years of running group workshops and retreats, I’ve decided to focus on more individualized experiences—one-on-one retreats combined with Lomi Lomi training. Each retreat is tailored to the unique needs and intentions of the participants, creating an intimate atmosphere that supports learning, introspection, genuine connection, transformation, and personal growth.
Embracing authenticity and building true connections is key for me as I support and empower people to explore their potential in a safe, nurturing environment.
I also offer retreats combined with Lomi Lomi practice for couples seeking a deeper connection, based on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of their relationship.
Join me on this path of personal growth, where self-discovery blends with the power of touch and ancient wisdom.

Unique Approach
Whether you’re navigating significant life changes such as a breakup or a career transition, or grappling with personal challenges like apathy, anxiety, low self-esteem, recovery periods, or body-image struggles, I am here to support you.
Recognizing that each person is unique and faces different needs at various points in their journey, I tailor my approach accordingly. I provide individually customized bodywork and touch therapy sessions, along with personally crafted programs, designed not only to offer immediate relief but also to deliver a lasting and truly transformative impact.
Are you ready to embark on this journey that respects your uniqueness, harnesses the power of touch therapy, and integrates various methods to empower you on your path to true and enduring change?
The Methods
The touch therapy and bodywork sessions I offer blend the practice of attuning to bodily sensations (somatic awareness) with the nurturing touch of traditional Hawaiian bodywork: Lomi Lomi and Kahi Loa, complemented by other bodywork techniques, breath-work, and mindfulness practices. This unique approach empowers you to connect with your body’s innate ability and wisdom to facilitate self-healing and deep transformation.
It’s more than just a massage; it’s a conversation with your body. By attentively listening to and responding to its cues, you can unravel tension, break free from lingering patterns and traumatic experiences, and restore a sense of wholeness and well-being.
For a deeper understanding of this approach and the benefits it offers, please refer to the descriptions of Lomi Lomi.

How Does It Work?
During our initial session, we will work together to create a personalised program that may combine bodywork, touch therapy, and counseling sessions tailored to your unique needs and intentions.
Additionally, I will introduce you to a range of self-care resources, including grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices to support you on a daily basis. Together, these elements will have a lasting impact on your life. If you are looking for real change, overall health improvement, or profound transformation, I highly recommend this approach, which is also cost-effective compared to booking single sessions from time to time.
Alternatively, you can simply book a Lomi Lomi or somatic bodywork – Embodied Rebalance session with me.

About me
My name is Izabella. Originally from Poland, I now call Aotearoa, New Zealand, my home.
Touch has always been my innate language—a natural way to connect, communicate, and express the ineffable. However, during my years of “career building,” I lost touch with this intuitive gift. My life was filled with gala premieres and international film festivals. As exciting as it was, it also became stressful, pushing me to my limits and leaving me feeling overwhelmed and drained.
After many years in the film business, I found balance and reconnected with my true nature through the practice of Lomi Lomi, an ancient Hawaiian healing art.
I am eternally grateful for the profound guidance and support I received from all of my teachers, including the Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians). They allowed me to dive deep into the practice and reignite my natural gifts. Among them, I am especially thankful to Kumu Susan Pa’iniu Floyd, a student of Kahu (Abraham) Kawai’i, Aua’ia Maka’i’ole, and Serge Kahili King, who was trained in Hawaiian shamanism by the Kahili family of Kaua’i. I also deeply appreciate the teachings of Maka’ala Yates, a student of Aunty Margaret Machado Kalehuamakanoelu’ulu’uonapali Aha’ula Keali’i—the Kupuna of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, known as one of the first Hawaiians to teach outside of her ‘ohana (family).
My Lomi Lomi journey began with several levels of training with my teachers and years of practice, which allowed me to build a strong foundation in this healing art. All of this prepared me for the teacher training I completed in Hawai’i at the beginning of 2018. What a journey it was—a deeply transformative experience through the land and traditions of the people, under the guidance of my Kumu. This unique opportunity allowed me to delve deeply into this ancient practice of Lomi Lomi.
In my touch therapy offerings, I also incorporate Kahi Loa, another Hawaiian bodywork art performed by the Kahili family of Kaua’i, and elements of PeLoHa—a massage designed by Alan Earle, an Australian healer who combines aspects of various massage techniques and traditions, including those of Native Australians, to create a deeply balancing and invigorating practice for the body, mind, and heart.
Years of practicing various techniques of bodywork and touch therapy have enhanced my understanding of the power of combining touch and deep presence in the process of healing and transformation. One of my clients once described me as a body listener and storyteller: “…but instead of using words, you use your hands.”
My mission is to support people in their recovery, transition, or transformation process through touch therapy, bodywork, counselling, and mentoring rooted in both Hawaiian traditions and the somatic approach. To share my passion and inspire others to connect mindfully with their own bodies and the power of touch combined with deep awareness, I also facilitate personalised retreats and training for individuals and couples.
