Your physical body is the Temple, in which dwells your Soul, awaiting to be freely expressed in the joyful dance of life.

WHAT IS KAHUNA MASSAGE

KaHuna massage is a flowing style of massage, providing a holistic approach to healing by balancing the body-mind in its physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions. It is with deep respect for the Hawaiian culture that Mette is combining her dance and movement experience with this beautiful flowing style of massage.

The philosophical and intellectual aspect of Mette’s training is inspired by her personal experience with the Danish ‘Folkehøjskole’ (‘Folk High School’) philosophy and Serge Kahili King’s interpretation of the Hawaiians outlook on life, through his seven Huna principles. Mette also holds an array of qualifications in the field of natural therapies and completed her teachers qualification at the College of Education in Denmark.

MUCH MORE THAN JUST A MASSAGE

At times we all questions the lifestyle we lead. If you wish to find answers, learn and deal with stress and relationship problems, learn to understand and control your emotions and interact with others – KaHuna Bodywork is for you.

At the same time you will become more physically fit and energized.

The essence of KaHuna Bodywork and philosophy dates back thousands of years to the days of myth and magic. Today much of the myth have vanished, but the magic definitely endures through healing hands.

Our human body is designed to reflect perfect unity of body mind and soul. Consequently disharmony in one area mirrors disharmony in other areas.

Long stores of anger, resentment, fear and other negative feelings may manifest as muscular and skeletal soreness, tumors or illnesses. These states can successfully be released using KaHuna Bodywork as part of the healing. The bodyworker is trained to support the client in their self healing process. As “all power comes from within”, it will be demonstrated how healing takes place for both the giver and the receiver.

THE BODY

The joy of life takes over as the mind and body are set free.

Massage is probably the oldest and most simple of all treatments. Massage has been known and used for thousands of years and massage is still one of the most beneficial ways to keeping the body free from stress. In sports, psychotherapy, and various natural therapeutic methods massage is used as a very efficient way to relieving pain and repairing injuries.

‘The most Unique, Fantastic and Amazing massage you have ever received’.

THE MIND

Our mind has the power to create the life we wish for ourselves.

The beach, sand and the lush green grass massage your feet and you feel the earth. The fresh, salty air cleanses your lungs and you breathe life. The flames of the fire draw your eyes and you find your inner balance with connection and clear thoughts. The ocean water mirrors a new person with a sparkling, clear reflection – you!

WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS

THE LUSH ROLLING HILLS OF NOOSA HINTERLAND

  • 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 Ka Huna 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
