Our Foundations
Aloha – unconditional love expressed through presence, respect, and trust
Ohana – family in the widest sense: all who have touched our lives, and all whom we touch

As teachers, our intention is to inspire you to discover your true, authentic self, and to support you fully in expressing that truth.

Magdalena
Magdalena is a practitioner and inspirational teacher of Lomi Lomi Nui, a Hawaiian system of bodywork rooted in touch, breath, presence, unconditional love, and psychosomatic understanding. She lives the Hawaiian Aloha lifestyle and follows the principles of Huna.
Movement has been a part of her life from the beginning — ballet, Latin dance, yoga, qi gong, Gaga movement, and contact improvisation. Her hands have always been a creative force, crafting natural works inspired by Mother Earth.
Lomi Lomi Nui entered her life at an unexpected moment — at a time when she was longing for love. Through the practice, she found love within herself and the desire to share compassion, acceptance, and healing with others.
Filled with gratitude for her teachers and experiences, she now dedicates her life to sharing ancient Hawaiian knowledge. She has studied with teachers including Marta Maja Gierczynska, Aga Rybak, Susan Floyd, Serge Kahili King, Jody Mountain, Harry Uhane Jim, Kaniho Kanehoalani, Maka’ala Yates.
She is a mother of three daughters and continues to draw inspiration from nature, movement, and the power of the heart.

Asgeir
Ásgeir is a practitioner and teacher of Lomi Lomi Nui and the wisdom of Aloha. His work is grounded in loving touch, flowing movement, mindful breath, gratitude, forgiveness, and radical presence.
“I ground my life in mindful breathing and radical presence. I live with an open heart, walking the path of Aloha and helping others awaken the power within their own hearts.”
His journey began with chronic back pain. Through receiving Lomi Lomi Nui, he avoided surgery and discovered a profound calling. He trained with Aloha Magdalena in Iceland and began his healing practice, Mahalo Ásgeir. His mission is deeply personal: to support his mother and help others heal through loving touch.
Drawn to the spiritual depth of Hawaiian healing, he studied the wisdom of Harry Uhane Jim, Huna, and Hawaiian shamanism. He is currently studying with Susan Pa’iniu Floyd to become an authorized teacher of this sacred lineage. His studies also brought him to Hawaii and into a spiritual connection with Pele.
Ásgeir is a father of two grown children and brings decades of experience as a business owner into his life as a healer and teacher. Hawaiian healing is now his spiritual path and life’s purpose.

Six-Month Mentoring Program
A deeper journey for practitioners who want ongoing support.
We meet once a month for six months to strengthen your foundations, address weaknesses, and develop your unique style as a practitioner.
Teaching is my calling.
Taking my calling to the next level and spreading Aloha around the world, I also teach this practice to anyone willing to learn.
In 2024 I founded The Lomi Lomi Nui Hawaiian Healing Arts Academy, an international school of Lomi Lomi , with my partner in crime Magdalena.
We both began our Lomi Lomi journey in 2020 and were transformed through this practice. Our paths crossed in 2023 and within a year our shared dream of living a Life of Aloha had given birth to our school.
We offer intensive courses and individual trainings for beginners and practitioners of Lomi Lomi. As well as a variety of workshops in both Leeds and Reykjavik.
