Ka Huna Bodywork(Lomilomi)
General Information
Ka Huna Bodywork is an approach to massage that originated in Polynesia (most notably in Hawaii). The traditional term for massage in this region was 'lomilomi', whilst the 'Ka Huna' were the expert practitioners.
Ka Huna is a very rhythmic approach to massage with a focus on healing the mind, body and spirit. These concepts are integral to the Ka Huna philosophies, and they believed that all three must be addressed to avoid illness and pain.
What are the benefits of Ka Huna Bodywork
Ka Huna, whilst being a relaxing form of massage, is practiced with sufficient pressure to provide very similar physical benefits to other forms such as Swedish Massage. The rhythmic nature of the massage, and the mental discipline of well-trained practitioners can lead to a profound effect on the client that differs significantly from other approaches to massage.
What are the qualificaitons of a Ka Huna Therapist?
It is possible to study Ka Huna massage to Certificate IV or Diploma level in Australia, however a variety of qualifications exist amongst Ka Huna practitioners. As with other natural therapies, you should ensure that your potential therapist is a member of a recognized association.
