At Bloom, massage isn’t a luxury add-on to your wellness routine—it’s therapeutic work designed to address what your body actually needs. We’ve built our practice around three core massages, each chosen for its capacity to create measurable change: our signature lymphatic massage, pregnancy massage for expectant mothers, and Lomi Lomi, a traditional Hawaiian massage we’re bringing to Wellington with intention and Pure Fiji’s nutrient-rich products.
Lymphatic Massage: The Foundation:
Our signature service, lymphatic massage, has become the backbone of Bloom’s practice. It’s not a generic spa treatment. Lymphatic massage uses specific, rhythmic techniques to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system—the network responsible for clearing waste, reducing fluid buildup, and supporting immune function.
The lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like your circulatory system does. It relies on movement, muscle contraction, and specialized massage to move fluid through the body. This is why lymphatic massage works: it uses slow, intentional strokes with precise pressure to encourage lymph flow, helping your body clear congestion, reduce swelling, and restore balance.
Our therapists specialize in treating areas that commonly hold tension and fluid: legs (especially important if you’re experiencing swelling or heaviness), the stomach and digestive region, your face and neck, and arms. Whether you’re dealing with post-surgical swelling, general puffiness, sluggish digestion, or just the accumulated tension of modern life, lymphatic massage addresses the root cause rather than masking symptoms.
Sessions last between 45–80 minutes depending on what you need. We customize each appointment around your specific areas of concern, using techniques designed to encourage natural lymphatic flow and deep relaxation. The result? Reduced bloating, clearer skin, better sleep, improved energy, and a genuine sense of physical lightness.
Pregnancy Massage: Support When Your Body Needs It Most
Pregnancy changes everything—your center of gravity, your posture, the load on your lower back and hips, your circulation, and your stress levels. We now offer pregnancy massage for women in their second and third trimesters, using modified techniques and positioning that keep both you and your baby safe and comfortable.
Pregnancy massage targets the specific tension pregnancy creates: lower back strain, hip and pelvic tension, swollen legs and feet, and the general physical stress of carrying extra weight. Our approach uses gentle, flowing strokes combined with specialized positioning (side-lying or semi-reclined) to ensure you’re never flat on your back.
Beyond the physical benefits—reduced pain, less swelling, better circulation—pregnancy massage addresses the emotional load of pregnancy. Many women describe it as the first time they’ve genuinely relaxed in months. Your body is doing extraordinary work. It deserves support.
Sessions are designed around what you need at your stage of pregnancy. Early sessions might focus on lower back support and digestive ease. Later sessions often address leg swelling and the pelvic tension that builds as you approach labour. We work with you to create the experience you need, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Lomi Lomi: Hawaiian Healing Comes to Wellington
We’re bringing authentic Lomi Lomi massage to Wellington—a traditional Hawaiian practice that’s as much about energy and intention as it is about technique.
Lomi Lomi uses long, continuous, flowing strokes that mimic the rhythmic motion of ocean waves. The therapist works with both forearms and elbows, creating a deeply relaxing experience that feels almost meditative. It’s often called the “loving hands” massage because of the care and presence woven into every movement.
What sets our Lomi Lomi apart is our commitment to Pure Fiji. We’ve infused this ancient Hawaiian practice with Pure Fiji’s cold-pressed, nutrient-rich botanical oils and our signature sugar scrub exfoliation. The combination is luxurious without feeling indulgent—your skin absorbs the nourishment, your muscles release tension, and you leave feeling genuinely restored.
For our Lomi Lomi + Exfoliation service, we begin with Pure Fiji’s sugar scrub on your back, working the exfoliation into your skin before rinsing. Then we move into the full Lomi Lomi experience, using Pure Fiji oils throughout. The result is skin that’s glowing, soft, and deeply hydrated—and a body that’s experienced genuine relaxation.
We focus on the back and neck, the areas that carry the most tension and benefit most from this approach. Whether you’re looking for stress relief, skin restoration, or just permission to slow down, Lomi Lomi delivers.
Pure Fiji: Extend the Experience at Home
We stock Pure Fiji products in-store because we believe the work we do in our treatment room should continue at home. Their cold-pressed oils, sugar scrubs, and body products are formulated with real botanicals—no fillers, no shortcuts.
After your Lomi Lomi session, you can take that same quality home with you. Use the oils for self-massage, keep your skin nourished with their body butters, or refresh with their exfoliating scrubs between appointments. It’s an investment in consistency—maintaining the benefits you’ve created in our clinic.
Book Your Session
Whether you’re drawn to the therapeutic precision of lymphatic massage, the supportive care of pregnancy massage, or the restorative flow of Lomi Lomi, we’ve designed these services around what your body actually needs.
Each therapist at Bloom brings skill, presence, and genuine care to every session. We’re not here to rush you through a treatment. We’re here to create measurable change.
Yes, when performed by a therapist trained in pregnancy massage. We use modified positioning and specific techniques safe for all trimesters (we only work in the 2nd and 3rd). No pressure on the abdomen. We never have you flat on your back. Your comfort and your baby’s safety are non-negotiable.
Immediately. Most clients see noticeable changes (reduced swelling, better sleep, clearer skin) that night. We recommend you have monthly massages, but Some clients book monthly, others come seasonally. We work with you on what fits your body and budget.
Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage that uses long, continuous flowing strokes with the forearms and elbows, mimicking the rhythm of ocean waves. It’s often called the “loving hands” massage because of the care and presence in every movement. Unlike some massage styles that target specific problem areas, Lomi Lomi focuses on whole-body relaxation and energy flow. At Bloom, we combine authentic Lomi Lomi technique with Pure Fiji’s cold-pressed botanical oils and sugar scrub exfoliation, creating a treatment that relaxes your muscles and nourishes your skin. Sessions focus on your back and neck — the areas that hold the most tension and benefit most from this approach.
