Spiritual Hawaiian
Lomilomi Massage
CANBERRA
Deeply relaxing, oceanic bodywork that settles your nervous system and brings you home to rest.
Available for all bodies and all genders from a home-based clinic in Chisholm, ACT
This unique form of bodywork, also known as Ka Huna and more simply as Lomilomi Massage invites you to experience profound relaxation.
It’s more than a massage. It’s a holistic experience that harmonises body, mind, and spirit, leaving you deeply nourished, revitalised, and at ease.
The massage is often likened to the ocean. Long, flowing, continuous strokes, using the hands, forearms, and elbows, move around the body from head to toe in a fluid, rhythmic way. There is nothing sharp or hurried about it. It is touch that asks nothing of you except to receive.
And that, it turns out, is exactly what your body has been waiting for.
The Wonder of Massage
Most of us live in a low hum of doing. The nervous system stays subtly braced, alert, holding, even when nothing is wrong, and over time it forgets how to fully let go. Rest stops feeling restful. Sleep stops restoring. The body keeps the engine running.
Slow, rhythmic, sustained touch is one of the most direct ways to tell that system it’s safe to stand down. The long oceanic strokes of Lomilomi, predictable, unhurried, deeply nurturing, invite your body out of “doing” and into rest and restore, the parasympathetic state where it finally softens. This is the only state in which the body genuinely repairs, digests, and renews itself.
You don’t have to make this happen. You don’t have to do anything at all. You simply lie down and let yourself be moved, and your body remembers what it feels like to be safe enough to let go.
This is why so many clients tell me they sleep through the night after a session, wake clearer, and feel the effects linger for days. It isn’t only the massage. It’s the nervous system getting, often for the first time in a long while, the message that it can rest.
“The whole massage was beautiful, start to finish. I felt safe, respected and held. I felt like I was being held by the Ocean. I slept so well that night and have felt energised ever since. This is the first time I’ve had Hawaiian massage and I loved it and my nervous system thanked me for it!” ~ Amy

What is Lomilomi Massage?
“Yesterday I had the absolute honour of receiving a Kahuna/Lomilomi massage from Kate. I felt so safe, held, nurtured and I am so grateful for this. It was exactly what my body needed.

What to Expect in Your Session
🌸 A relaxed and comfortable environment. Your journey begins in a tranquil quiet space. Low lightening in a warm room creates an inviting space where you can unwind.
🌸 Deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Fluid movements and gentle stretches let you release tension and stress, relaxing the body while energising the spirit.
🌸 Connection to your body. Lomilomi fosters a deeper connection to your body and self. Feelings of tranquillity and harmony emerge, guiding you toward balance and ease.
🌸 Healing through Aloha. Central to this nurturing massage is the spirit of Aloha, unconditional love. Each session is approached with a deep understanding that healing comes from akua (spirit).
Whether you're looking to ease physical discomfort, settle a frazzled nervous system, or simply receive, Lomilomi offers a beautiful experience shaped to your needs.

Pricing & Appointment Times
When you book with me, I create a spacious container that extends beyond your massage time. I intentionally place generous space between clients so you never feel rushed.
True deep receiving requires sacred space both before and after your bodywork. Each session unfolds in its own natural rhythm:
🌸 A gentle arrival with 10-15 minutes to share your body’s needs and set intentions for our time together
🌸 Your full massage time of nurturing Hawaiian bodywork
🌸 A nourishing 5-minute integration that may include a gentle sound bath or guided meditation aligned with your intention
🌸 A peaceful transition afterward to simply be, sip water, and return slowly to the world outside
Your appointment time includes this full experience.
2.5 Hour Lomilomi Massage $280
Includes rocking, hot stone and stretches with the foundation of the Heartworks Lomilomi massage.
(210) minute appointment)
Please note: Your massage is offered in a dedicated, private treatment room within my family home. While most sessions unfold in peaceful quiet, you may occasionally hear brief sounds of daily family life – including voices, footsteps, or doors closing. These are typically infrequent and last only a few moments. For some clients, these sounds add to the homely, nurturing atmosphere. For others, particularly those who are sensitive to noise or feel vulnerable during bodywork, occasional sounds may feel disruptive to relaxation. Please consider your comfort level with this environment when booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your first session begins with a brief consultation about your needs and intentions. The massage includes long, flowing strokes over your entire body, gentle stretches, and time for integration. You'll remain draped appropriately throughout the session.
Lomilomi uses longer, more flowing strokes that work both over and under the body, often with forearms and elbows. It incorporates Hawaiian healing philosophy, gentle stretches, and spiritual elements like the concept of Aloha (unconditional love).
You'll undress to your comfort level and be professionally draped during the massage. I provide a private space to change and ensure your comfort and privacy throughout the session.
For stress relief and general wellbeing, monthly sessions work beautifully. For specific concerns or deeper healing work, more frequent sessions initially can be beneficial. I'll work with you to create a schedule that supports your goals.
