KAHUNA TEMPLE STYLE BODYWORK
"After receiving my first Kahuna massage from Kaye, I realised that this was a whole new level of bodywork that was profound and effective in restoring physical balance and spiritual well being. I have had a lot of massage over the years but the sheer fluidity, depth and beauty of the massage allowed me to totally let go and surrender to the experience. Kaye is a master of bodywork." Francis Guerin.
Kahuna massage is a unique in a number of respects. It is a flowing energetically vibrant and completely relaxing whole body massage where the practitioner uses their forearm and hands in long flowing strokes. Stretches, under bodywork and deep tissue techniques combined with healing intent and the rhythmic dance like flow (tai chi like movements ) all contribute to a unique massage that heals the body, soul and mind .
The use of the forearm in a dance like style enables practitioner to work at all levels of intensity with grace and ease. It truly makes deep work easy.
KaHuna Bodywork helps us open up pathways to ancient genetic wisdom in our own bodies. The seven Huna principles which are an intricate part of the course provide a life affirming spiritual philosophy to live by and integrate into one’s life. It’s a chance to receive and give lots of healing massages and connect to all that is in a beautiful, relaxing, friendly and fun filled country setting.

Testimonials
Kahuna Bodywork
After doing the Kahuna Temple Style massage course with Kaye my awareness of the mind/body consciousness has expanded opening up my massage therapy skills to an even greater degree of maturity and sensitivity. The beautiful Kahuna dance with the strokes is breathtaking, both in giving and receiving. The spiritual dimension I encountered on the Kahuna course has helped me in so many other facets of my life. I truly loved it!!!!!! It was a very special and sacred time and I learnt so much from this ancient tradition to use in so many areas of my life. The waves of transformation are still rolling on in.
Indian Head Massage Course
This is the first massage course I have attended, the sharing hands on approach was excellent. Kaye’s demonstration and explanation of all movements was easy to follow and apply. The country setting was most enjoyable and the friendly approach encouraged camaraderie amongst the group. Nadia.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course and how much both I and my clients are loving hot stone therapy. One of them said that it was the best massage she'd ever had! Thank you for your teachings and I look forward to being your student again real soon. Nicolette
Hi Kaye, I wanted to thank you for a great weekend learning the hot stone therapy. The following fortnight I had bookings and the treatment has been very well received. Thanks to your teachings I also use the stones as part of a more remedial treatment and find this to be very successful and popular.
