Rising above the stress of daily life to a higher state of being!

I am happy to introduce myself as a Massage Therapist to who doesn’t know me yet... 
 After being trained in traditional Swedish massage at the Honolulu Massage Academy 
http://www.hawaiimassageacademy.net/index.html  I took basic course of Shiatsu, Reflexology, Sport, Lomi Lomi .
So often I feel its hard to just give a name as a definition to a type of massage. 
The gift of touch is simply magical. If you think about it, as soon as you hurt yourself or bump into something the first natural reflex is that of touching your hurt area, try to smooth away the sensation of pain.
So naturally  treating your body to a massage means altering  the state in which you are; In a positive way of course.
The benefits of massage are numerous /stay tuned as i write 12 benefits of massage in the next 12 days..../ 
Personally I enjoy the feeling of making someone’s day better...that look on their face after they receive a massage...
I found out that by doing that I also feel better in my day, It is kinda like doing Yoga or surfing....I just feel like  a better person after!
When I go surf and I completely connect with nature and everything is just so beautiful and glorious, nothing after that can go wrong...I just know I am gonna have a wonderful day!
And as every morning I wake up and commit to my yoga mat, sometimes i just wanna be lazy and sleep in...but i know my day its going to be better. I feel grounded,calmed and relaxed, ready to handle the challenges of the day ahead.
To me that is the experience of giving a massage.
I use a lot of traditional swedish manipulations, also sports massage techniques,shiatsu pressure points with a  Lomi Lomi style approach.
I highly consider my clients needs and requests trying to create a personalized massage each time.
I hope you will follow me into this path of healing and spiritual growth.
Rising above the stress of daily life to a higher state of being!

    • Last month I had some great clients,
      they were all coming and going from the Mainland and they rented a beautiful house on the beach,and everyday I went to massage a different couple.
      I love the location but mostly I loved the people!
      Here is what Lisa had to say about her experience:
      • "Francesca was not only fun & laid back to but she was super flexible with our crazy schedule. She's so accommodating, she set up her table outside on our deck so be massaged & hear the ocean. Francesca did 10 /one hour massages at our house, by the end everyone fell in love with her! She was incredibly patient & kind, we all loved her. Her carefree spirit & personality lightens your mood. I have a toddler so it can be hard to relax, but Francesca got me calm & relaxed in no time.
        Mahalo my friend, we cant wait to book our next massage day."



               

              Mahalo Lisa! Miss you and Kai! xoxo CIAO BELLA!

One of my beautiful Clients, Ashley. 
Mahalo for sharing !


I recently had whiplash from a minor car accident and last month Francesca gave me the best massage I have ever received! It was a wonderful blend of relaxing Swedish, lomi lomi and a bit of Reiki at the end. I will be booking another asap. She also used the most wonderful organic oils on me and the aromatherapy sent me into another world of ! I highly recommend her!

THANK YOU RJ FOR YOUR REVIEW!

While visiting some friends on a recent trip to the north shore, I had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Francesca. This was actually my first massage I had ever gotten, and I'm not sure why I waited so long to do so. I couldn't have asked for a better person to introduce me to the massage experience. Francesca is very personable and made me feel very comfortable right from the beginning. She set up right in our home which made everything super convienent. After an hour session, I felt amazing! Relaxed is an understatement. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Francesca.

Lotus Flower Meaning


Anybody who has ever observed a lotus flower emerging from a murky pond cannot fail to see the beauty of this exquisite plant.
The flower always looks so clean and pure against the background of the dirty pond.Because of this the lotus flower has come to be associated with purity and beauty in the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism respectively; the ancient Egyptians scholars observed that in the night-time the lotus closed its flowers and sank into the water, and came up with a different association with the flower related to rebirth and the Sun; in actual fact the Lotus slowly emerges from a pond over a three day period and then blooms in the morning until mid-afternoon.It can therefore be assumed that the lotus flower meaning is different between cultures, though in fact they share many similarities. In Buddhism the lotus flower is known to be associated with purity, spiritual awakening and faithfulness. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean. Therefore in common with Egyptian mythology the lotus is seen as a sign of rebirth, but additionally it is associated with purity. The breaking of the surface every morning is also suggestive of desire, this leads to it being associated with spiritual enlightenment.

HI EVERYBODY!



Aloha!
I'm so exited that my official Blog is up and running!
The hardest part was actually choosing a name but than it turned out to be easy and right in front of my eyes!
My all life I used to think "If I ever open my own business I will use the name of the Lotus Flower"
I love the way  it looks,an all the different colors,I LOVE the meaning of it so I feel it matches greatly with the experience I would like for my clients to have during my massage and also particularly for my own spiritual growth that it's been happening in the past few years.
I hope You will be part of my journey because there is no limit to the amount of Enlightenment that we can all reach.So BE it...let the LOTUS in You reach the sun!!!!!
