Donna are deeply committed to supporting healers and massage therapists to live from their hearts, heal themselves, thrive in their chosen practice and learn to walk a path of service while honoring their own journey. Integrating the principles and techniques of lomi lomi massage and ancient
Hawaiian shamanic practices, they teach massage therapists how to hold this powerful, transformational space for their clients and for themselves. Their heart-centered commitment extends to all they do, including their dvd's and soon-to-be-available home study courses.

Tom Cochran
In
1991, after spending years studying meditation,
Jungian dream work, energy work, yoga, various therapies and shamanism, Tom was introduced to
Hawaiian Temple Bodywork. "Lomi Lomi had a profound effect on my life.
Without turning back, I moved to
Hawaii to study Hawaiian shamanism and Hawaiian Temple Bodywork."
He earned his massage license through the
Maui School of Therapeutic Massage and began offering sessions worldwide throughout
Japan,
Europe,
Canada and across the US
. In the late
1990's, Tom was guided and moved to begin sharing this work with other therapists. Since then, he has taught thousands of students, dedicating himself fully to their individual growth as well as supporting them to offer this powerful art to others.
In both his sessions and his workshops, Tom believes that the journey is one of self-realization and integration.
Read Tom's article "
My Journey into
The Spirit Body"
for more on how he came to teach lomi lomi, healing and life transformation.
"These ancient teachings remind us of our wholeness, our divinity.
It's an awakening that allows us to know our unique
Self, not as a separated individual, but as a connected part of the whole. For me, it is a tremendous gift to travel and share the power and beauty of this work with people all over the world and witness them awakening to themselves on such an intimate, soul level."
"The Lomi room is a sacred space, like a temple.
Whether I'm teaching or offering a session, I keep the space very clear, physically and energetically. When we work, we are not trying to do anything except be present.
People long to be accepted and recognized and they long to connect and be nurtured in a sacred way, without judgement
... in that place of acceptance people awaken, in a unique way to the authenticity of being, of life. There's a profound sense of
peace, love and power in embracing, embodying and trusting your authentic being
."
**Donna Jason
Donna began her journey with the healing arts while living in
New York City and working as an actress in theater and film.
Having overcome many difficult life challenges by healing through self expression and the arts, Donna began to persue alternative healing practices.
While in
New York she studied with Dr.
Jerry Epstein author of several books on healing through visualizations and was introduced to Hawaiian Temple Bodywork and 5Rhythms
Dance with
Gabrielle Roth.
Donna continued integrating the healing arts with the performing arts and moved to
California where she studied writing and screenwriting at
UCLA and continued her journey with movement and alternative therapies including tradional Shamanism with
Sandra Ingerman, Self
Identity through Ho'oponopono with Dr. Hew Lin and healing through prayer with
Howard Wills.
When she reconnected with Tom in the late 1990's it became immediately clear that their paths and gifts were meant to integrate. They began teaching together in
1999.
Since then, Donna has joyfully bridged her two worlds and used her film background to write, direct and produce
DVD's on
Sacred Lomi and
Huna. She is currently writing a book on Sacred Lomi and is deeply committed to continuing to share the message that 'healing works'.
"It is heart-breaking to witness suffering when there are so many powerful ways to heal ourselves and our ancestry.
We are deeply interconnected and when we allow ourselves to live from a compassionate perspective, we hold a vibration that is healing for the entire planet."
