🐦‍🔥A BIRD DOES NOT SING BECAUSE IT HAS AN ANSWER. IT SINGS BECAUSE IT HAS A SONG 🎵 😊
… Chinese Proverb

I hope this week you find your voice, your song. None of us need to have all the answers. We never shall. But how delightful to just be ourselves and to make “music” no matter how mundane our daily day may be.

Please text me on 0448006148 to book in for some wholesome, helpful, blissful Ka Huna massage and bodywork. Go on … you know you want to! 🐦‍🔥🌺🐦‍🔥

Did you know that Ka Huna massage & bodywork is for all genders?
I have been asked this question a few times. All genders AND ALL AGES! Aaaand …. unless massage, in general, is considered by your medical professional as a contraindication to a pre-existing condition, then YOU, TOO, are ripe for some Ka Huna bodywork!
This is also a beautiful space and modality for pregnant and postpartum mamas. Put it off no longer! Getting “Ka- huna-ed” is healthful, wholesome and blissful. You know you want to!

🌟 Overcrowded with thoughts and worries?
🌟 Need some mind space?
🌟 Need some time out from everyone around you?
🌟 Are you feeling sticky, stuck or stagnant?
So many clients talk about relief from these issues following Ka Huna massage/bodywork!
Prior to clients getting on my table, I offer them the opportunity to remove some unwanted plates from off their table. Of course this is a metaphor for unloading concerns and/or tuning into their own bodies/selves to feel into what they may need from the bodywork in that particular session. Bodies “talk”. Bodies are our signal posts for what needs addressing in our lives. As the title of Dr Bessel Van der Kolk’s book declares: THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE 🌟 My approach within the scope of Ka Huna massage & bodywork, is holistic, wholesome and healing. I want every client to feel cared for, considered and respected.

A few quotes that I love at the moment ~ and perhaps you might too 🧡

Tomorrow night is a marvellous night for a moon dance! Time to STAY THE COURSE! 🖤

WITH TWO CONSECUTIVE FULL MOONS IN CAPRICORN (22/6 & 21/7), THE WHIMSICAL WORKER, SEA-GOAT, GIVES YOU CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE! Phew! About time.

Also time to continue the climb up this current mountain – let Lady Luna in her fullness, illuminate what needs to stay &what needs to go. Let goat nature serve you as she reaches the mountaintop fearlessly AND playfully.

JUST KEEP GOING!

Reward certainly comes from being grounded, disciplined, hardworking, methodical, task-oriented, structured, committed, sober & mature.  BALANCE these services to self with humour, play, humility & a good ole frolicking!  LAUGH! LEAP! LET IT GO!

Tasks are for work and for pleasure.  Welcome the important task of building security & strengthening structures to prevent the inner child from becoming the inner beast. The billy-goat must not become the bully -goat! Capricorn full moon heralds the maturing of emotions, the release of victim-consciousness and ensuring Inner Child feels secure enough to step out of the past and into the future. Inner child needs YOU to become both nurturing, receptive mother & protective, activating father.  GO THE GOAT!

Sea-goat starts at the bottom of the oceans and ascends all strata to the top of the mountain – the place of expanded vision and clarity with purpose.  And you will also see the mountains you have already climbed.  Celebrate and enjoy all your masteries.  WELL DONE!

Balance personal & professional work with rest. During this 4 week cycle of bookend Capricorn full moons, inner & outer lives benefit from acknowledging & building structures (including your skeleton!) and also by nurturing your soul, surrendering to the Divine.  

At the end of the day, the dance of our celestial archetypes provide beautiful guidance and lessons how to navigate ourselves in this world.  Enjoy!

And if nothing else, tend to your skeleton and soul with a Ka Huna massage. You know you want to! 🖤

This picture has nothing to do with massage! But it DOES leave you with a sense of warmth and nourishment ❤️‍🔥 JUST LIKE KA HUNA BODYWORK ❤️‍🔥 Find yourself this winter in my cosy, heated, ground level studio. Climb onto a heated table. Feel warmed coconut oil on your skin. Feel your fascia and soft tissue melt under your skin. Basque in the radiance of carefully curated music. Enjoy it all even in the last minutes that employ scented hot towels. You know you want to! 😉

🎶 Receiving a holistic Ka Huna massage is a beautiful opportunity to hear the music playing within you 🎶

Sometimes the melody is a happy singalong and sometimes a discordant anthem playing over and over. Sometimes it’s just rhythm and sometimes it’s just birdsong. Sometimes an ancient songline. Sometimes it’s an empty concert hall.

But the music or absence therein is yours. Your soul and your body sounding out your current state of being. And all of it is beautiful and necessary, even if it’s dark & terrible.

The therapeutic ebb & flow of Ka Huna massage and the individualised space I hold for each client can help orchestrate your internal music for release or repeat.

Each session is an opportunity for both myself and the client to tune in to the music within.

If you are stuck on repeat and you that music no longer serves you, allow the Ka Huna holistic approach to help create new (inner)playlist … or at make space for the adding of “one song at a time” 🖤

Purr-fection! 🐱

I love how cats can bring themselves into this state of blissful relaxation … often we humans need a little help to get there!

Fully present here in this photo, Marmite models the “without a care in the world” state that a beautiful and empowering Ka Huna massage can bring you into 🙌🏽

Unplug from your usual contexts and spaces and make your way to my cosy and peaceful studio right in the middle of Bundaberg.

Whether you need deep physical bodywork or the nurturing of your nervous system … or just rejuvenating relaxation … I will meet you where you are at. Often sessions will bring all these things together. JUST. FOR. YOU. 🧡🧡🧡

🍁 Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go (author unknown) 🍁

🍂 Whilst it’s still warm enough for days at the beach, change is in the air with the welcome arrival of Autumn, not overly celebrated in Australia especially the further north one travels!

🍂 But Autumn… when She comes along ever so gently, I find myself thinking She is my favourite colour.

🍂 She reminds me, with overripe leaves dancing off the branches, that I must make time to let go of certain ways and things so that my roots may go down deeper for ensuing seasons.

🍂 She reminds me of the liberating Law of Impermanence which consistently whispers to my soul to hold things lightly. Life is a series of connected moments, all coming then all going. And that’s OK.

🍂 She reminds me of the delicious array of textures woven by contrast and change. A mono-textured world would sadden every heart.

🍂 Autumn is the permission to slow down, even just a little. Enjoy new colours in the sunrises and the sunsets. Tend to Self.

🍂 Let go in this season of sacred orange with a massage session at The Kahuna Phoenix…
… A beautiful and meaningful way to make space for your soul and your mind while attending to all things embodied.

I had a beautiful client 🌸 come in for a pregnancy massage recently and I feel to share this personalised altar I made for her and her twin babies ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
I always like to 🕯️create a little special something for my clients who are growing life🤰🏻
You dear mamas deserve the utmost support, respect, and nurturing during this season 🥰 I offer expectant mamas the loving but obligation-free opportunity to participate in a small and private symbolic🌀 ritual to bless themselves and their babies.

Hence why this makes such a lovely ‘baby shower’ gift 😘 🎁 … or maybe a show of appreciation 🙏🏾

Please 🙌🏽 be aware and understand that when booking a pregnancy massage, I do not massage mamas until gestation is 16 weeks. Feel safe and free to book in after this time in your pregnancy term.

Come and enjoy ☺️ The Nurturing (me) of The Nurturer (you) …. your comfort and sense of safety is paramount, all embraced with a little added Aloha 🧡 Text me on 0448006148 so I can connect with you to make a suitable appointment time 🕉️🌺

Before we start on the table, I will often get you to pull a card from one of my decks or we might chat about the mind-body connection and any spiritual conflict that may be manifesting physically. When you research this topic further, it is fascinating and becomes very clear that we can (and do!) store trauma in our body which can then present itself in the form of dis-ease…. Unless you shift this stagnant energy of course…

🌀 What are the modalities do you use to shift trauma stored in the body? 🌀

THIS is how most clients leave my studio after some  therapeutically magical Ka Huna massage and bodywork. Some leave a little more quietly … there is no right or wrong way to feel after bodywork. The important thing is how you become more aware of your body, your emotions, your soul and/or your mind.  And perhaps becoming aware of what your needs AND desires are. Maybe you won’t be able to leap into the air however most massage receivers report feeling unstuck, less stuck, loose, floaty, relaxed, calm or released. Amongst other words! If you haven’t tried. Ka Huna massage, give it a go. You will probably be pleasantly surprised. And if you haven’t visited for a while, step up for yourself and make an appointment. You are worth it!

🌺 ATTENTION BEAUTIFUL TEACHERS 🌺

After NEARLY a full year of attending to children, teenagers, protocols & regulations, hoping students are paying attention, it might be time to pay some overdue attention to yourself. KaHuna massage is a beautiful way to unwind during the school holidays. It is also a wonderful way to reset and refresh for the last school term.

You’re worth it 🌈

Currently en route to Cairns ✈️ for a girls getaway with my childhood best friend. Oh how blessed I feel to be able to do this! 🧿

I’ll be back to offering my scrumptious treatments on Tuesday, 15th of August 🌺

If you are hoping to book in for when I return, I will respond as I can but it may be slower than usual with little reception etc. So, thank you for your patience and understanding 🧡🙏🏻

(Photo from another trip to FNQ - unfortunately I couldn’t sneak my granddaughter into my suitcase this time 🤭)

🌞 Good morning my darling son … knowing you are zero 0️⃣ inches away I wish you happy 21st birthday 🎂today … And though I thoroughly know the love 💚 ceases not … sacred, infinite, mutual … I long for days that can no longer be 🌏 Earthside … Days of seeing you rock up on the deck - days of the best hugs 🫂 in the world - days of that smile - days of conversations deep, controversial, soulful, hilarious - days of you and your siblings getting together - days of you fully 😃 enjoying your niece & nephew - days of you asking for car, cooking, housekeeping, medical advice - days of seeing a beautiful young man grow into life, into his own capacious 💚 heart. Today I may understand more & accept more about your 🕊️departure … even to the point of honouring your choice & your outstanding courage in that choice … and yet I just do not want it this way 🫥 It’s a daily practice & sometimes so much soul effort to let you be in the holy freedom 🦋 in which you now enjoy. Unfathomable missing, yearning, longing 💚.
The acute suffering 😓 in my pain may have dissipated somewhat, however, Grief has permanently rented a room in my heart 💔 and I have made friends with her. And yet She is just the Love ❤️ who always lived there for you. Will always live there. Reminding me of the gorgeousness that you are.
You are my/our 20 year 🎁 gift - to so many.

Winter Warmer #1 🍊

It is well known that getting healthy amounts of Vitamin C in Winter can help in combatting colds and flus and infections.

☝🏽What is lesser known is that getting healthy amounts of Ka Huna massage through Winter is a wonderful way to flush out apathy, toxins, dis-easing emotions, muscle fatigue, feelings of being blocked or stuck 🙌🏻 Ka Huna massage can help keep us in a state of gentle flow 🌀 through the colder months which cycle round each year, encouraging us to seek retreat and cosiness to reflect and go within 🍂

🔥PS Client comfort is paramount so come and enjoy therapeutic luxury in a heated studio during the shiver weather!🔥

Cosmic bliss! 🌝🪐⭐️☄️🌞

Some clients deeply receive not just muscular-skeletal benefits from a Ka Huna massage … they can experience absolute blissful relaxation (even tending to sleep!) and some express out-of-this-world experiences, including messages, colours and visions. Some clients also even talk about getting solutions to business problems. Ka Huna massage is for the  WHOLE person.

👉🏻 Swipe for another favourite quote of mine, by Rumi 👉🏻

Every pregnancy and birth not only ushers in a new baby, but also a new mama. True even after our firstborns. I loved being pregnant (most of the time!) but I would have deeply appreciated having space held for me, with an acknowledgment of the sacredness of bringing forth a new life through the beautiful and heart-centred touch of a Ka Huna pregnancy massage.

All mamas welcome after 13 weeks gestation to embrace themselves in this holy space of our humanness 🧡🤰🏼🧡

🌺 Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do ~ George Bernard Shaw 🌺

I love this quote. It truly is the deepest love you’ll ever know. It’s SO beautiful but it can be big… It’s important to look after yourself, mama’s! It’s not sustainable to keep pouring from an empty cup. So, fill yours up!

Book yourself a Mother’s Day massage (or send this post to your partner as a sneaky hint) 😜😉😘

Take a ride into sunshine joy, bliss and harmony like a little child… Adulting in a deadlines and deeds society can weary our bodies and our minds and our souls… 🤸 A Ka Huna massage can help you find your inner child 🤸

Take time out to just be with yourself… take an hour or more to blissfully balance with this beautiful Being called YOU! 🧡

🌺 Open Monday - Saturdays by appointment 🌺

Call or text myself, Natalie, on 0448006148 for blissful modalities for the WHOLE person.

Aloha 🌺

I‘ve slowly integrated back to ‘work’ the last few months, giving myself grace, while already bringing some big kahuna magick to my regular and some lovely new clients this year 🥰

But as a tribute to my son to keep on living my life to the fullest, I have decided it is now time to OPEN MY BOOKS as per usual. I feel it is time 🦋 I’m ready to bring the bliss 🦋

While I’ve been learning to navigate my new normal, I’ve been so incredibly blessed by my friends, family and clients. So, I do want to say a sincere THANK YOU for your support and understanding during this profoundly difficult time.

🧡 Can’t wait to see you soon 🧡

My heart is broken I need to ask you all to allow me some space. My son Harry, my dearest sweet, sensitive little Harry has left this world!
And I am broken!
It is the most unbearable anguish and pain!
Normally I try to be positive, and vibrant and joyful. But today my friends… I can’t be!
I have tried to call, text or email all of my beautiful friends, family and clients, I am so sorry if I have not managed to tell you in person…
But now I am tired, and now I need time to heal…
Kahuna will be closed for the next few weeks while I grieve for the loss of my beloved son.

Aloha Lovelies 🌺
