Ka Huna Massage - Bayside Style!

Often I am asked about the “style of massage” I offer and often I find it hard to put words to a practice that is so multi-faceted, multi dimensional. And at times I wonder if I’ve done myself a dis-service by opening my mouth!

So, let me try with my written word what Ka Huna Massage is to me.

With foundations in Hawaii and Polynesia this style can sometimes be known as Temple Style or Lomi Lomi. Depending on where and with whom one does the training, styles may alter slightly.

Loving touch supporting transformative healing in the form of a fluid, rhythmic oil on body massage style being the common thread.

Philosophical principals and a mantra practice known as Ho’oponopono, which supports the understanding and purifying of mind are traditionally taught.

Whilst the word Ka Huna is used in many ways today, traditionally a Ka Huna was a Shaman or priest who practiced a variety of healing methods to help maintain harmony in the body and spirit.
Today these practices, particularly the massage styles have been brought out to the West.

As a practitioner I dance fluidly around, over and under the body using forearms and palms of hands. In addition, integrating techniques from remedial massage, glass/flame cupping, breathwork, and Zenthai Shiatsu (more on this style another time) which means working deeper where necessary. Dispersing and nourishing energy along meridian lines and acupressure points, more joint mobilization and rhythmic pulsing add a more therapeutic touch.

Music!! A big part of the journey. And a journey it may sometimes be!
Music is vibration -vibration is life. 
To quote Bob Marley:
"One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain - so hit me with music"

 In the Bayside Ka Huna studio music carries power, enhances the flow, evokes emotion, keeps one present (falling asleep is different from dropping into theta state) and can enrich the experience and journey. I have many hours of music on my compiled playlist. It plays at random and it’s not uncommon for a client to speak of an experience or emotion that came from the music. You might hear the Beatles, Xavier Rudd, tribal chanting or some cosmic fairies calling to the stars.
When we drop into Theta state, that dreamy space, we slow down the brain wave frequency activating our pineal gland for a heightened sense of intuition and clarity of thought. Cool Stuff!

When you receive a treatment at Bayside Ka Huna massage expect your circulatory system (blood & lymph) to flow more easily, flushing your cells with fresh oxygen whilst detoxing tissues and organs, your muscle and mind tension to melt, your joints to feel buttery, insights and clarification of mind to be revealed, your wings to flutter and soul to smile.
Hot towels and splashes of essential oil aid in offering a lushness to the session as well.

My intention is to facilitate your journey with connection to ancestry and spirit, and heart awakening intention. To encourage the flow of physical and energetic pathways so that your own body wisdom shimmers into it’s own healing.
A magical journey that I love to share - lets connect soon!
