  • High Spirits is an amazing place.

    It is set in a beautiful natural environment that welcomes relaxation and nurtures the body. The courses are professionally prepared and executed and take one on a journey of self discovery and growth. Staff are amazingly friendly, well prepared and create and maintain an environment of fun, joy and deep understanding. Embarking on a journey at High Spirits has been transformative. I have met wonderful people. I cannot imagine my life without the gift of KaHuna massage. So grateful to the team and Mette.

  • My experience learning Ka Huna at Mette's institute was literally life changing.

    This is not just a massage course, it's an opportunity to change the way you see yourself and your place in the world. I felt such a sense of community with the group of men and women I trained with. I left my week of training not only with valuable skills, but with a renewed sense of self-confidence like I've never experienced before. I am so grateful for my training, and will be coming back for more! I've recommended this to so many of my friends and hope my amazing massages will encourage them to try it out too! xx Thanks, Mette and the team

  • High Spirit Retreat is not a place it's a home.

    Training in Kahuna Massage with the team at high spirits has been a highlight in my life. So much self development, education, practice and real community. I love going back each year to gain more skills and deepen my connection with myself..

  • A heartfelt, playful and uplifting community inspiring connection, empowerment and joyful living!

    Through Highspirits I have made some deep friendships that will last a lifetime. The bodywork skills taught here are both effective and soulful... they will be welcomed by family and friends, but are also a real opportunity to expand your professional bodywork scope, or change your vocation altogether. I also often recommend people who simply need a retreat or an energetic make-over to go to Highspirits... they offer some of the best trainings and retreats you can get.

  • Mette & her team at High Spirits are truly a divine energetic portal, if you are lead there it is all within higher reason.

    This training has changed my spiritual journey in ways of deeper connection to self & source as well as guiding me further within my calling. KaHuna is such a beautiful practice and offering that is so sacred and special. Thank you High Spirits, I am manifesting the ability to complete all levels with you in time. xx Aloha

  • This work is truly life changing, heart opening and lots of fun!

    I've completed all 7 Levels, several more than once and I continue to keep coming back as I love the space, the learning of both the massage and more importantly of self. Now I'm also getting paid to do what I love with my own Ka Huna Massage business. I can't recommend this any higher! Just do it!! Aloha

  • We simply cannot praise Mette's facilitators at High Spirits Retreat enough.

    Our recent six-day journey to refine our Ka Huna massage techniques under their guidance was nothing short of phenomenal. These extraordinary women didn't just instruct us; they inspired us to transcend our limitations and let go of what no longer benefits us. Their teaching is infused with an abundance of love, presence, joy, and genuine laughter—accompanied by moments of poignant tears. These facilitators possess an intuitive sense of when to offer assistance and when to provide us with the necessary space to explore on our own. They are adept at creating a nurturing environment for personal growth and generating incredible connections among all participants. This experience is truly magical. Our hearts are full of gratitude—Mahalo Nui Loa. We are profoundly thankful.

  • I decided to learn this massage modality to support my journey as a yoga student and teacher.

    It has really deepened my connection with my own body and also taught me so much more! About love, about connection and about living my best life. Thank you for all you do high spirits team.

  • High Spirits Retreat is one of those life time musts...

    along with Sky diving, and a Vipassana 10 day silent meditation course! Like sky diving and meditation, High Spirits offers wonderful highs and incredible stillness, all while learning the incredible art of Kahuna massage. Even if you don't think you want to become a massage therapist, attending a course at High Spirits leaves you feeling more capable and more connected - to yourself and the world around you. And the environment and the food is stunning!! I can't recommend these courses highly enough!

  • High Spirits Retreat is absolutely amazing beyond words.

    The connection, clarity, insight, learnings and empowerment I received changed my life.

    It feels like heaven on earth. My soul feels so free, happy and at home when I am at high spirits retreat. I felt so inspired and business boomed after coming back from my first KaHuna course and continued after attending more Courses and Retreats.

    Highly recommended this magical retreat. Forever grateful x
