This beautiful form of Hawaiian bodywork is deeply relaxing – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Long rhythmic flowing strokes that vary in intensity, speed and pressure, are used from head to toe and back again, over and under the body. It’s a very special and truly unique form of massage – there’s nothing else quite like it out there! Lomi Lomi Heartworks style, Polynesian floor work (similar to Thai massage), Deep Opu and Pregnancy massage are also on offer and available to you. With a special apparatus you can comfortably lie face down, and I've treated women as far as 41 weeks pregnant. Acupressure points can even be used as a form of natural induction (see relaxing into labour massage below).
My dedicated Ka Huna Hawaiian Massage room in Maroubra Junction, Sydney NSW. Suitable for women only, including during pregnancy.
At present, I am only welcoming women for Ka Huna sessions (also suitable during pregnancy and discounted for birthing doula clients). I have been recommended by psychologists to help provide a safe space for their patients to feel and release tension or work through trauma. 100% extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil is used, as are essential oils to add to your experience. You can come to my dedicated room in Maroubra Junction with easy street parking available.
It’s also the perfect gift for any occasion! Gift vouchers are available.

Relaxing into labour: induction massage
This is a lovely way to relax and sink into the final weeks, days or hours of your pregnancy. Focusing on love energy and connection to your body and baby, this massage style integrates Ka Huna and Lomi Lomi principles and flow with pressing induction acupressure points. Using essential oils known to help induce labour, you will feel luxuriously nurtured and supported, relaxed and energised, ready to birth and meet your baby.
“I experienced a most beautiful and nurturing pregnancy massage with Amanda. You immediately feel comfortable and safe in Amanda’s presence, she opens up a very sacred space of healing for you to completely let go and relax. At 36 weeks pregnant I felt completely cared for and nurtured during the massage, which felt such a treat. I loved the energy and flow of the Ka Huna massage and I was able to connect deeply with my breath and baby, experiencing some beautiful visualisations of birth. Amanda is very gifted at what she does. This is not just a massage it is also a beautiful healing for the body, heart and mind. I left feeling deeply open and connected. Thank you Amanda, I’ll be back :) xxx”
“I’ve had my 4.5 kg VBAC boy with Amanda. It was the best day in my life. I was healed after my VBAC and Amanda definitely helped me to achieve my goals. I made the informed decisions that helped me to have the best possible birth experience.
Amanda is very knowledgeable, reliable, intelligent and professional Doula. I will always remember that day and be grateful to Amanda. She supported me a lot during my pregnancy.
KA HUNA massage is a mysterious experience, I definitely recommend it! I found it to be an unique experience, completely different to any other massage I have had before. It was an extremely relaxing and enjoyable massage experience.
I really hope to come back to Amanda to have my number 3 in future!❤️”
