Here's what some of our students say about the training...

Paul Reball
With the magical connection of strangers that become friends the whole experience is uplifting and life changing, I loved it!

Leah Louise
My soul can’t sing or shine enough to say thank you for what Kahuna has done for my life… It’s returned me home to myself - the powerful human I always was but had forgotten about - Aloha!

Daniel Clarke
Can’t recommend highly enough. I just completed the Ka Huna 1 & 2 courses. One of the most wonderful weeks of my life. Transformational.
Why our KaHuna Massage training is the best one....
Set a Solid Foundation
Over 6 days and 5 nights you will learn and practice the basic techniques of KaHuna flow: massage the back and front of the body, face massage, aura massage, body balancing, body reading, clinic ethics, how to work with clients.
You will also be guided through essential self-care practices and techniques enhancing your body awareness to prevent burnout as a bodyworker for as long as you like.
There will be daily meditation and relaxation sessions - you will be learning techniques that you can use yourself and to share with your clients, to help develop and deepen each treatment.
Permission to Grow
Since 1994 people from all walks of life, the world over, have been travelling to study with Mette’s Institute.
They come to experience the deep immersion of a tried and tested in-person training, as a retreat style experience and now you can too!
When you arrive, you unplug and begin a week long detox of your body, mind and spirit with wholesome nutritious foods, daily sauna’s and experiential and proven instruction in KaHuna bodywork and Huna philosophy.
You have permission to leave the outside world and your stories behind as you transform your beliefs, values and habits.
Join a Vibrant Tribe
Past students always rave about the connections they’ve made on our retreats. Being part of a vibrant, fun and loving family-like dynamic is truly special - and many of those relationships still sustain them long after the training ends… Because we are all one big loving Ohana.
Imagine being surrounded by people who also value personal growth and professional development, who bring the willingness and preparedness to go deep and show up for their growth and yours, and who are aware that there is so much more to the mind/body healing process than most other massage courses offer.

Our venue is special in so many ways!
In the quiet of the Noosa hinterland, on the outskirts of the small township of Kin Kin, atop a large hill run through with crystal quartz, sits High Spirits Retreat. A purpose-built sanctuary of peace and tranquillity resonating with amplified healing energies to support your journey of transformation.

We know setting out on a new path can be daunting….
There are so many things in life to prioritise….your doubts arise….and then there’s the money!
You might be like so many others, putting off putting yourself first, waiting until the time is right or for some cosmic sign to make a move….
But just imagine you’ve completely transformed your life. Boredom, stress and worry are a thing of the past. Your body is strong, fit and healthy - in fact, it’s the best it’s ever been. You’ve created for yourself a thriving, vibrant practice facilitating transformational experiences with your clients....
