Ka Huna Bodywork
Ka Huna Bodywork originated in the South Pacific and was used as a transformational massage and whole body healing system. Derived from the ancient Polynesian healing methods, it is a style of bodywork that can restore balance to the physical body, emotional body and the soul. It is a style that is beneficial for everybody, regardless of age, body shape, or state of health.
No two Ka Huna massages will be the same, just as no body is ever the same. Sometimes this may be in the form of a deeply relaxing and supportive physical massage, at other times it can unlock blocked emotions, catalyse shifts in energy, release past memories, and bring to you a greater connection, sense of calm and deep peace of mind.
Specific benefits include:
* Physically reenergising and rejuvenating
* Improves the flow of the lymphatic, circulatory, and digestive systems
* Instills deep calm, peace and relaxation
* Releases deep seated neuromuscular tension and facilitates the flow of energy and vital force
* Helps release locked emotions or unlock emotional trauma
* Generates a sense of well being, vitality and empowerment

Heartworks Lomi Lomi
At first glance, Lomi Lomi may seem to be the Polynesian version of the “classical” physical massage. It is circulatory, and moves blood, lymph and interstitial fluid to drainage portals around the body. But on looking deeper, Lomi Lomi is more than just a massage technique, it has the ability to take you to that deep, quiet place inside yourself where your breathing slows and your mind is free. It is a traditional Polynesian bodywork technique with its intention coming from a place of unconditional love. To receive a Lomi Lomi massage is to feel deeply nurtured, openhearted and cared for, creating a powerful positive healing energy in the body.
Specific benefits include:
* Improving blood and lymphatic circulation
* Releasing toxicity from the muscles and organs
* Increase the flow of blood and nutrients to the muscles and tissues
* Restore energy and vitality
* Release emotional build up- both during and after the session
* Reduce anxiety, fear, worry and negative though patterns
* Instill a deep sense of wellbeing, self-love, and joy

Digestive Assessment
In a unique multimodality approach, Rhianna uses her knowledge as a Naturopath, Nutritionist, Colonic Hydrotherapist and Massage Therapist to assess the sate of your digestive system. The digestive system is often known the foundation of good health. Conversely, if the digestive system is not functioning at its optimum, excellent health is difficult to maintain. On an emotional level, the gut is known as the “second brain” due to its intrinsic link with the nervous system, emotions and the mind. The digestive system is one of the first places many people hold stress, fear or tension in the body, often without being aware of it. A belly massage can often bring awareness to areas of unconscious holding.
In this treatment, a 30-45 minute naturopathic and nutrition based consultation will focus on the body systems vital to optimal digestion, and a 15-30 minute abdominal massage will provide further assessment of digestive health and function.
Specific benefits include:
* Naturopathic investigation of the digestive system
* Nutritional assessment
* Dietary analysis
* Recommendations based on findings
* Release of tight muscles and tendons in the abdomen
* Improved peristaltic movement
