To try and define Ka Huna massage is like trying to describe what a flower looks smells and feels like to some who has never seen one before. You can only ever really ‘know’ by the experience of holding a flower in your hands and breathing in it lush fragrances and being in awe at its magical beauty. Like the essence of a flower, Ka Huna is beyond words, and in that moment of giving and receiving it is beyond being and non-being, pure love. It is a celebration of our humanity; it is the massage of life.
The Hawaiian people view all aspects of the body as one, believing that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the ‘whole self’. What makes Ka Huna massage such a very special style is its combination of movement, dance, rhythm, breath, energy and massage. The practitioner is in constant movement around the massage table, following specific patterns of foot placement and body posture. The arms sweep over the body in long, flowing movements to the pulse of music, creating a very fluid and rhythmical massage, like a bird flying through the sky.
Another characteristic of Ka Huna is the application of flowing strokes using forearms, elbows as well as two hands combining body draining, soft and deep tissue massage, under body massage, and energy balancing to form very dynamic and transformational bodywork, perfect for enhancing fertility.
