Held, Nurtured and Able to Fully Let Go
There are seasons of life where rest never feels like enough. You’re holding everyone else together, running on empty, and your body never quite switches out of ‘alert’.
The Kahuna Lomi Release and Renewal Massage is designed for these times.
This treatment combines a fusion of deep tissue & trigger point work with a nurturing Kahuna & Lomi Lomi flowing strokes, gentle abdominal massage and breathwork. It is as much about how you are held emotionally as it is about the physical work on your muscles.
We create a safe space to soften and surrender, allowing you to ground into your body, allowing your nervous system to unwind and experience deep rest and restoration. It is particularly supportive for mothers, carers and anyone whose nervous system has been “on” for too long.
Who This Treatment Is Ideal For
The Kahuna Lomi Release and Renewal Massage is particularly suited to those who:
Feel depleted, overwhelmed or on the edge of burnout
Are mothers or primary carers who rarely receive the same care they give
Experience a mix of physical and emotional tension (tight jaw, shoulders, chest, or belly)
Notice digestive discomfort, bloating or constipation that worsens with stress
Feel like they’re living in a constant state of “tired but wired” and struggle to fully switch off
Feel disconnected from their body and want to feel grounded and present again
It is also supportive during life transitions, emotional upheaval and periods where you are holding more than usual, mentally and physically.
Feel Emotionally & Physically Renewed
How The Session Unfolds
This treatment is delivered in one continuous, grounded flow. Each stage supports the next, helping your body shift out of tension and into a state where release can happen naturally. The Kahuna Lomi Release and Renewal experience brings flow, movement and breathwork, helping your body shift out of tension and into a state where emotional and nervous system release can happen naturally.
Openning with a brief check-in to understand what your body is holding, whether it’s muscular tightness, emotional heaviness, digestive discomfort or simple exhaustion, Darinka tailors the pace, pressure and focus to what you need on the day.
1. Deep Tissue & Trigger Point With Kahuna-Inspired Flow
You’ll begin with long, rhythmic strokes that move across the body in a steady wave-like pattern. This style of kahuna bodywork keeps you in a relaxed state even as deeper remedial techniques are applied.
This is blended into flowing movement with targeted deep tissue and trigger point work to unwind tight muscles through the back, shoulders, hips and neck. The continuity of the strokes means the deeper work doesn’t feel abrupt or jarring. The body stays soft, the breath stays steady, and tension releases without force.
2. Breath, Heart Opening and Energetic Grounding
Throughout the treatment, Darinka guides gentle breath awareness to help the body let go at its own pace. As the breath deepens, the massage moves into focused areas around the chest, upper back and shoulders to encourage openness and ease.
The treatment closes with grounding techniques that help your system settle, creating a sense of clarity, calm and emotional steadiness.
