What is Ka Huna Bodywork?

Ka Huna bodywork originated in the South Pacific and was used during Rites of Passage as a transformational massage and healing system. It is also known as Hawaiian Temple Style massage and Lomi Lomi.

This beautiful form of bodywork provides a holistic approach to healing by balancing the body-mind in its physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions.

Ka Huna bodywork is unique in a number of respects. The practitioner uses their hands, forearms and elbows and moves around the table (using flowing hula & Tai Chi style movements) working with energy while applying soft and deep tissue massage. Music is played and the practitioner attunes the flow of the massage to harmonise the various rhythms within the client's body-mind-soul.

Who can receive Ka Huna Bodywork?

Everybody, regardless of body shape, age or state of health can receive Ka Huna bodywork. Beneficial during Rites of Passage. Whether you are feeling lack lustre, out of kilter, or in pain, Ka Huna bodywork offers excellent treatment possibilities for people suffering stress, depression, exhaustion, physical discomfort and injuries, confusion, grief or loss. It can also assist if you're dealing with ongoing illness, work or relationship issues.

What can you expect during and after a massage?

The massage therapist will consult with you about the current state of your physical, mental and emotional health. This assists both client and therapist in deciding on the treatment focus for the session.

During the massage, it helps to focus your attention on your breath. Each inhalation offers a chance to draw fresh energy and inspiration into the body-mind, and each exhalation, an opportunity to dissolve tension, to let go of anything that limits you, and to deepen your experience of relaxation.

If you experience discomfort or would like to express a particular need, please feel free to communicate with the therapist at any stage during the massage.

It is important to drink plenty of water after a massage as this assists in the detoxifying process.

Ka Huna bodywork is a powerful form of healing that affects people differently. In the days following a massage, you might experience a range of emotions as various energies are still shifting. There is no need to worry. Simply observe your emotions without getting caught up in them and let them flow. The healing/cleansing effects and re-balancing of the body-mind can be felt for weeks after the treatment.
