What is KaHuna/Lomi Lomi Massage?
Lomi Lomi is the traditional Hawaiian massage, rich in cultural lineage and variation, taught within Hawaiian families or by Hawaiian kahuna - healer.
Kahuna is a modern, temple-style adaptation inspired by Lomi Lomi Nui, with a stronger emphasis on continuous movement, breathwork, and personal transformation.
Blending traditional with modern teachings of this massage, combines the deep cultural roots and spiritual intention of Lomi Lomi with the flowing, dance like movements and breathwork of Kahuna.
As the result, is a massage that feels sacred and heart-centred like Lomi Lomi, yet physically immersive and rhythmically flowing like Kahuna — offering both profound relaxation and emotional release.
Benefits of Ka Huna/Lomi Lomi Massage
Physical
Kahuna’s flowing, rhythmic strokes don’t just feel soothing — they also support the body’s natural ability to heal and function at its best. Physically, it can help to:
Relieve muscle tension and stiffness – Gently loosens tight muscles, easing aches and improving flexibility.
Improve circulation – Encourages healthy blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
Boost lymphatic drainage – Helps the body clear toxins and reduce swelling or fluid retention.
Enhance joint mobility – The gentle, full-body movements promote freedom and ease in the joints.
Support recovery – Can assist in the body’s repair processes after physical exertion or stress.
Release physical fatigue – Leaves you feeling lighter, less sluggish, and more energised.
Kahuna treats the body with care and respect, allowing it to soften, open, and return to a more balanced state.
Emotional
Kahuna is more than physical touch — it’s a deeply nurturing experience that supports emotional wellbeing. Through its flowing, heart-centred approach, it can help to:
Reduce stress and anxiety – The soothing rhythm calms the nervous system and quiets the mind.
