FREQUANTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

💫 What is Kahuna Massage / Lomi Lomi Massage and Its Origins?

Kahuna Massage and Lomi Lomi massage, are sacred Hawaiian healing art that originated in ancient Polynesia and was passed down through generations of master healers known as Kahunas. This traditional practice is based on Huna philosophy — the belief that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected, and that true healing happens when all three are in balance.

Traditional Hawaiian practitioners understood that emotions and memories could become stored in the body, leading to stress, chronic pain, and imbalance. Through rhythmic, flowing movements inspired by the ocean, Kahuna massage helps release these blockages, restore harmony, and reconnect you to your inner calm.
Practitioners use forearms, hands, and elbows in long, continuous, dance-like strokes — creating a sensation often described as “being massaged by the ocean.” The combination of movement, intention, and energy flow helps achieve deep relaxation and emotional clarity, promoting both physical and spiritual renewal.

 

Today, Hawaiian Fusion with Symon continues this lineage by offering Lomi Lomi and Ka Huna Fusion Massage Adelaide, blending ancient tradition with a contemporary healing experience — a massage treatment that nourishes body, mind, and soul.

💆‍♂️ The Hawaiian Fusion Massage Experience: What to Expect

Your Massage Adelaide experience begins the moment you arrive at my tranquil studio — a contemporary haven created for calm and transformation.

Arrival & Consultation

You’ll be welcomed into a soothing environment filled with gentle Hawaiian music and calming ambience. Before your session, we’ll discuss your individual needs, treatment plan, and intentions for your massage. On your first visit, we’ll complete a brief intake discussion to share your health background and goals.

Preparation

I’ll leave the room while you undress to your comfort level. Traditional Hawaiian massage uses minimal draping so that the long, sweeping strokes can flow continuously across your body, though your privacy and comfort are always respected.

The Massage Journey

Warm Water Dispersible Vegetable Oil or Coconut Oil is applied to begin the Fusion massage, depending on which treatment is booked. Using long, rhythmic, wave-like movements, I work intuitively with your body’s cues. The experience can range from gentle and nurturing to deeply therapeutic, integrating stretches, joint rotations, and energy balancing.
Clients often describe the sensation as being “held by the ocean” — the rhythmic flow quiets the mind and invites a complete state of relaxation.

Closing & Integration

Each session concludes with time for quiet integration. You’ll be offered water or herbal tea and space to rest and download, if needed before returning to your day, often feeling both relaxed, nurtured and rejuvenated.

🌺 Who Can Benefit from Hawaiian Massage?

Kahuna and Lomi Lomi massage are suitable for anyone seeking physical, emotional, or energetic support, including:

  • Individuals managing chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress

  • Athletes recovering from activity or injury

  • Those navigating major life transitions or emotional blocks

  • Anyone seeking relaxation massage or a spa experience that restores balance and clarity

Please note: Clients with acute injuries, contagious conditions, or certain health issues should consult their healthcare provider before booking.

💆 What Happens During a Massage Appointment?

Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled massage Adelaide appointment. During your first visit, we’ll review your intake form, discuss your wellness goals, and discuss a customised massage treatment to suit your individual needs.
After explaining the process and obtaining consent, I’ll leave the room while you prepare for your massage therapy session.

Your comfort is always my priority — you’re encouraged to ask questions at any time before, during, or after your treatment.

🧘‍♀️ Preparing for and Maximising Your Session

Physical Preparation

  • Stay hydrated before and after your massage treatment.

  • Avoid any drugs, caffeine and alcohol before your appointment.

  • Eat a light meal at least an hour or more beforehand.

  • Arrive early to relax and start with a calm mindset.

Mental & Emotional Preparation

  • Set an intention — whether it’s to ease areas of stress, promote deep relaxation, or simply reconnect with yourself.

  • Be open to the process — Hawaiian massage therapy works best when you let go of expectations.

  • Honour your boundaries — your comfort and consent are always respected.

Aftercare

After your massage Adelaide session, drink plenty of water, rest, and allow your body to integrate. Take notice of physical, emotional, or energetic shifts — they’re part of your healing journey.

🪶 Common Questions About Kahuna and Lomi Lomi Massage (Hawaiian Massage)

Q: How is Hawaiian massage different from a regular massage?


While traditional massages focus on specific muscles, Hawaiian massage works with the entire body as one interconnected system. The flowing strokes, breathwork, and energy awareness create a uniquely holistic massage experience.

Q: How long does a session last?


Sessions are available in 60- and 90-minute formats, though 90-minute full body sessions are most recommended for full immersion and integration.

Q: Is Hawaiian massage always done with minimal draping?


Yes, this traditional practice uses minimal draping to allow fluid, continuous motion. You are fully unclothed but protected and always respected with a sarong and modesty towel.

Q: Will it hurt?


Pressure varies from gentle to deep. The flowing rhythm distributes pressure evenly, making it deeply therapeutic without being painful.

Q: How often should I receive Kahuna or Lomi Lomi massage?


For ongoing wellness and stress management, monthly sessions are ideal. If you’re addressing chronic pain or emotional healing, weekly – fortnightly can accelerate results before moving into maintenance.
