KaHuna and Lomi Lomi massage sessions held by appointment in Warragul, West Gippsland.

Drawing on the flowing traditions of KaHuna Bodywork and Heartworks Lomi Lomi, this offering is designed for those wanting to pause. Whether you are carrying stress, exhaustion, tension, or simply the weight of a busy life, this is an invitation to relax, even just for a while.

These sessions work with the nervous system as much as the body. Through rhythmic, continuous movement and warm oil, the body is gently invited to let go of its holding patterns, settle into safety, and rest.

You do not need to prepare anything, perform anything, or explain yourself. You only need to arrive.

KaHuna Bodywork

Traditional Hawaiian bodywork honouring lineage, flow and holistic wellbeing.

Rooted in traditional Hawaiian healing arts, KaHuna Bodywork is characterised by long, flowing strokes using the forearms and hands. The movements are continuous and wave-like, working both over and beneath the body to support a sense of connection and flow.

Each session is tailored to you, allowing the work to unfold in alignment with what is present on the day. Rather than targeting isolated areas, KaHuna honours the whole body, supporting embodiment, emotional release, presence and deep nervous system regulation.

Many people describe feeling lighter, more settled, and deeply at home in themselves after a KaHuna session.

A deeply supportive experience for those who want to feel cared for, restored, and gently reconnected with their body, without intensity. It is an invitation to simply rest.

Not sure whether KaHuna or Lomi Lomi is right for you? There's no need to decide in advance. We can talk it through when you arrive and create a session based on what you need on the day. Once we begin, I work intuitively, quietly listening to the wisdom of your body to guide what unfolds.

What to Expect

How a session unfolds.

Each session begins with a gentle arrival into the space, an opportunity to share your intentions, how you are feeling, and anything you would like me to hold with care. This is also a natural moment to share whether you're drawn to KaHuna, Lomi Lomi, or a blend of both, or simply to leave that with me, based on what I sense your body needs on the day. There is never any rush to begin.

I then step out while you undress and settle comfortably on the table, covered by a sarong. Privacy and modesty are held with care throughout.

Using warm coconut oil, the session unfolds through long, flowing strokes with the hands and forearms, continuous and wave-like, moving rhythmically across the whole body. The work is responsive and intuitive, adapting in pressure, pace and depth to what feels right on the day. You may be gently invited to reposition, or a supported turning technique may be used so this can happen without any effort from you. At times your body may be gently lifted, held, or guided around the table as part of the natural flow of the work.

The session generally closes with a grounding hot towel ritual. I then step out again while you dress. When you are ready, there is a moment to reflect, share, or simply sit before returning gently to your day.

The work often continues to integrate quietly after you leave. Drink plenty of water and allow yourself to rest if you need to.

A Note on Scope

A note on scope.

Hawaiian Style Bodywork is a therapeutic bodywork practice. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and is not a substitute for healthcare. Please mention any injuries, recent surgeries, or health considerations when booking.

Pleasure can arise naturally within a deeply relaxed body, and is one of many sensations that are welcomed and honoured in this space. If you are seeking a session where sensation and pleasure are more consciously held and explored, the Devotional Ritual or Sacred Sensual Bodywork offerings may be more aligned.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

About KaHuna & Lomi Lomi

How is KaHuna different from a regular massage?

KaHuna Bodywork is a holistic practice inspired by the rhythm and movement of the ocean. Rather than working on isolated areas, the work moves continuously and intuitively over the whole body using long, flowing strokes with the hands and forearms. Many people describe it as unlike any massage they have experienced before, deeply settling, physically and emotionally.

What's the difference between KaHuna and Lomi Lomi, and how do I choose?

KaHuna Bodywork is more dynamic and wave-like, working continuously over and beneath the body with the hands and forearms. Lomi Lomi is softer and more nurturing, often described as the calm of the ocean's depths. Pricing is identical either way, so there's no need to decide in advance. We can talk it through when you arrive, and choose (or blend both) based on what your body needs that day.

Is it firm or gentle?

The pressure and pace adapt throughout the session, moving between light, nurturing touch and deeper, more grounding work, guided by what feels right for you on the day. Massage techniques based on the five elements of earth, fire, water, air and spirit may be used in your session.

What can I expect? How will I feel afterwards?

Sessions are personalised and responsive. Most clients depart feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, and more grounded, though each experience is unique based on that day's needs.

Are sessions identical each time?

No two sessions are the same, as variations in pressure, speed, rhythm, and stillness depend on what serves you in the moment. Feel free to ask for what you want more or less of.

Is KaHuna and Lomi Lomi the same as tantric massage?

No. While embodied and sensory, it is not a tantric or sexual service and maintains therapeutic boundaries. If you are looking for a tantric or more intimate session, please look at The Unfurling's Devotional, Sacred or Embodied Learning offerings.

Comfort & Safety

I haven't had a massage in a long time and feel unsure about touch.

You are not alone in this. Not that many years ago, this was me. I know what it is to need to feel safe before you can receive. That is exactly what this space is designed to offer. There is no pressure to receive anything that doesn't feel right for you. There is time at the start of the session to talk about what your needs and concerns are.

What medical information should I disclose?

Please make sure you advise of any medical conditions, injuries, recent surgeries, pregnancy, or medications when booking. This allows the session to be adapted appropriately and safely for you.

Is KaHuna and Lomi Lomi suitable during pregnancy?

The massage table includes a pregnancy feature that allows face-down positioning while feeling fully supported. Please let me know if you are pregnant so I can adjust the session accordingly.

Preparing for Your Session

How should I prepare?

Stay hydrated, eat lightly 1-2 hours beforehand, wear loose comfortable clothing, and arrive clean. Allow yourself a little extra time so you don't feel rushed arriving.

What do I wear during the session?

KaHuna and Lomi Lomi are typically received unclothed, to allow for the full, flowing movements of the work. You are always respectfully draped with a sarong for privacy and modesty throughout. Wearing underwear is optional, however please note this will change the flowing feeling of the session as I massage your side body.

Will I be completely uncovered during the massage?

No. You will never be completely uncovered. Your private areas will always be covered with appropriate draping. If you are looking for a session where draping is optional, please look at The Unfurling's Sacred Sensual offerings.

What oils are used?

MCT coconut oil is used throughout, along with Shemana crystal-infused ritual sprays and complementary oils depending on your needs and intentions. Please let me know of any allergies or sensitivities when booking.

After Your Session

What aftercare is recommended?

Dedicate some time for rest and reflection after your session to allow the benefits to unfold. Make sure you drink plenty of water to help flush your system. The work often continues to integrate quietly in the hours and days that follow.

How often should I book?

Sessions can be a one-off experience or part of regular self-care. Many clients find monthly sessions support an ongoing sense of balance, grounding, and embodied wellbeing. There is no obligation to commit to a schedule, come as feels right for you.

Bookings & Practicalities

Is mobile massage available?

Mobile massage is available by arrangement. A minimum call-out fee of $100 applies. Contact The Unfurling to discuss options.

What is the cancellation policy?

Rescheduling is never a problem with enough notice. Cancellations within 24 hours of the session will result in the loss of your deposit. Failure to attend will require full payment. Please see the full booking terms for details.
