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 dimension.

Ka Huna Bodywork is unique in a number of ways.  Melanie uses her hands, forearms and elbows and moves around the table (using flowing rhythmic Hula and Tai Chi style movements).  I work with energy to apply soft and deep tissue massage.  Music is played and Melanie attunes to the flow of the massage to harmonise the various rhythms within your body, mind and subtle energetic body. These rhythms mimic the elements of Earth, Air, Water and Fire. A focus of breath, voice and sound is used through out the session and strongly encouraged by the receiver. As when you allow yourself to surrender, open and be vulnerable, the deeper the healing or more profound is the experience.
It provides a passage that has ability to bring forth an awareness within you that broadens your understanding of yourself.  Bringing you healing on all levels that is deeply therapeutic, and relaxing at the same time.

The sessions are either 1 hour, 90 minutes (preferred) or 2 hourly.

You may also like to discuss opportunities to combine a few of my service offerings and packages available.

Ka Huna Bodywork is a style that was developed in Hawaii by Kahu Abraham Kawai’i, the Kahuna who developed this style of bodywork in the 80s.  He came to visit and teach in Australia for the first time in March 1998, at the old Mount Warning Lodge. Then the ‘massage’ was just part of Kahuna training, one of the modalities Kahu used to teach people is Kahuna perspectives.

Your body is a temple and Ka Huna bodywork is a modality with Ancient principles that teaches and allows you to experience as such.
