Massage and bodywork therapy is available at Milica's location in Waialua, or at your location. Most outcalls are in the greater Haleiwa and North Shore area, and some are island-wide on Oahu, Hawaii.

Human remodeling is very similar to home remodeling - based on what condition your body is in and what level of "brand new" you want to achieve, it can take less or more time. The rates are per hour. 

Regular maintenance is recommended, preferably once per week, up to once per month.

Broadly speaking, human remodeling services fall into two categories:

  1. Maintenance: requires 60 min appointment for people under 200 lbs and under 6ft in good physical condition. Otherwise, 90 minutes. Note: a person in this category gets massage regularly, does yoga at least 3 times per week, and has no acute pains and aches.
  2. Discomfort/pain management: typically requires 90 min appointment, if not more, depending on the nature and scope of the problem. It takes time to "remold" the body and release tight spots, esp. if the problem lasted a while. In addition, we spend time on self-education and and self-care program. One appointment is helpful; for more permanent results, multiple appointments are needed.

Rate:  60 mins, $110. 90 mins, $160. 

OUTCALLS: add $30 to the service cost, for one person, or $20 per person for at least two. If you are staying in a nice place, e.g. vacation rental on the beach, and/or you want the convenience of not having to drive, this is a good option.

Kamai'ina rate  (for regular visits throughout the year):  60 mins, $95. 90 mins, $135. 

REMODELING PACKAGE: purchase a set of six sessions and save $5 off each session.

SERVICES:

Hawai'ian lomilomi massage: the ancient art of working with the body, emotions and spirit, in long soothing strokes, using a high quality hypoallergenic massage gel. Lomilomi feels very nourishing and soothing, and is wonderful for reducing stress and tension, improving circulation through the body, and working out the knotted areas. Lomilomi is based on the premise that Divine heals, and is called "prayer through hands." It is a life changing experience as we Reconnect with the Divine.

Shiatsu: the ancient art of finger pressure over clothing, with stretches that gently promote circulation and well being on all levels, including muscles, joints, connective tissue, and nervous system. The body and the mind relax as areas of restrictions loosen, the sore areas get nourished, and thus the energy flows freely through the body.

Craniosacral therapy: A very gentle method of working with the spine, head, and sacrum. It can promote a deep sense of relaxation and well being, and leave the receiver feeling rejuvenated and clear headed.

Orthopedic massage: Very effective for injuries. Consists of combination of myofascial release, neuromascular therapy, and stretching.

Reflexology: this treatment focuses on only hands and feet, where internal parts of the body can be accessed through their corresponding reflex areas.

Pregnancy massage: a gentle whole body (except abdomen) relaxing shiatsu or lomilomi massage for pregnant women, focusing on reducing the stress on the lower back, sacrum and legs, induced by the extra weight of the baby.
Available only as 60 min service.

Bowen technique: is rather gentle "strumming" over tight tendons and ligaments. It is an excellent "starter" for very tight people, or an excellent "finisher", or a good technique for gentle souls, like children, elderly, people whose muscles are extremely overused and sore, and/or those not willing/able to deeply face themselves yet on some level asking for spiritual experience. Bowen technique by itself can provide relief but does not typically result in deep permanent change. Stretching is necessary for longer lasting results. 

Hot stones massage: during this massage, comfortably warm stones are placed on the body to release tension and improve circulation. A light massage is then performed with warm stones. This massage is ideal for people with very tense muscles, arthritis, or anyone in need of deep regeneration and warmth.
Available only as 80 min service.

Raindrop Therapy: an aromatherapy treatment using high-quality essential oils, where the highly anti-microbial oils are applied around the spine to eliminate any potential dormant microorganisms. This treatment is ideal for people with scoliosis, and those experiencing or recovering from infections.
Available only as 60 min service. Add $15 for scrumptuos use of essential oils.



SETTING:

Shiatsu and lomilomi can be performed as a relaxation massage, with a lighter, more relaxing touch, with emphasis on gentler and slower myofascial release and cranio-sacral therapy techniques, as well as a deep tissue or sports massage, where areas with knotted muscles and tension can be worked more deeply. Relaxation massage can also include deeper work on selected areas, typically shoulders and lower back.

Shiatsu and lomilomi can be performed in a traditional way, on a futon, or on a massage table. All traditional Asian bodywork modalities are performed on a futon, and can be modified to fit on a table. The futon provides the practitioner with better leveraging of the pressure, the client gets better grounding to the magnetic field of the Earth and thus more healing energy, and it is more plasant and cooler closer to the ground in the tropical climate of Hawai'i. For cold days and for clients for some reason cannot lower themselves and/or do not prefer to be closer to the ground, a massage table is available.

Each service provides education in terms of exercise and nutrition, as well as deeper insight into areas of one's life that might be causing pain or discomfort versus joy and ease.

Each service comes with optional use of aromatherapy for additional $5  with the highest quality essential oils by Young Living and Ancient Wisdom.

The essential oils are available for purchase from
Young Living tel. 1-800-371-2928 distributor #609503, or Ancient Wisdom, tel. 888-407-0448 distributor #1737.
