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 from the daily bustle 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. You’ll have access to the best tools of the trade and be schooled on clean, clear massage industry etiquette.
Vibrant Tribe
One of the things past students always comment on are 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.
So when you arrive you’ll find yourself 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.
Your tribe is not limited to the participants of the course you will be expertly guided through your journey by Mette herself and her well trained team.
