Services
Healing treatments are given in my beautiful and harmonious space in Edge Hill, Cairns. . Somewhere to receive healing and to rejuvenate body mind and soul. A truly professional and peaceful session awaits you....
I provide a safe and supportive environment for you to release, relax, refresh and renew. I have completed extensive training in healing, massage, counsellings, shamanic healing and huna philosophy with Mette's Institute. For more detail about me and my background please see the 'ABOUT' page.
Throughout all massage treatments your modesty is respected and your comfort is the most important thing. A massage is a chance to drift away and retreat into yourself - floating on the fragrance of pure essential oils, the soothing sounds of music in a comfortable and healing space.
At the moment I am providing a few sessions each week - so book early to avoid disappointment.

This bodywork originated in the South Pacific and was traditionally used during 'Rites of Passage'. The massage technique is also known as 'lomi lomi' or Hawaiian massage. It is an effective tool for the relief of physical aches and pains. It is also useful today in our modern day 'rites of passage' such as emergence into adulthood, marriage, divorce, relocation, dealing with death of loved ones, or just during those rough times life can present to us.
"Ka Huna bodywork is a wonderful way to bring the joy to your body, a feeling of peace to your mind, a sense of wonder to your soul." Sepp Hock - fellow bodyworker
On a purely physical level, KaHuna bodywork has been described as 'the RollsRoyce of massage'. During a KaHuna session you will feel nurtured and healed. You may fall into a light trance as the rhythmical massage movements flow over you like warm ocean currents. Pressure varies from light to deep as required, or as you request. The flowing movements specifically work with the energy lines of the body, and the lymphatic system, thus assisting with detox, weight loss and re-energising. A KaHuna session often also includes shamanic and energetic work when appropriate or when requested. I will often use Chinese cupping or hot stones in a treatment too - again when appropriate and if requested - of course i will always ask you before the session!
The overall effect of a KaHuna session is as varied as our bodies, minds and souls - but often a sense of joy, freedom and deep rest come from receiving a session. Creative blocks will move and life force will flow. Often real clarity about certain issues will come to you after a session.
Therapeutic Massage
I bring elements of the KaHuna work to each massage but this massage is often less flow with more attention to specific issues or 'problem spots'. This massage is where I bring my physiotherapy knowledge to the fore. I use point work, flow massage, stretches and energy work with all massages. I also use Chinese cupping and hot stones where appropriate or requested.
If you have a specific need or problem I can recommend exercises, yoga postures and other techniques to ease pain and improve movement.
If you would like me to give some time for physiotherapy advice - please let me know before the session and we can ensure there is enough time to answer all your questions.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy brings a different set of joys and challenges to the body. During a pregnancy massage you will have the opportunity to lie supported by as many pillows as you need, in a position right for your body on the day and to move as you need too! For your peace of mind and comfort, I use oils that are perfect for pregnancy and am careful of those acupressure points that can be dangerous during pregnancy. KaHuna massage during pregnancy can help you bond deeply with baby - especially if you can receive regularly.
