I am Jacque, KaHuna, Mamma Medicina Bodyworker, Facilitator and Teacher and I am blessed to call High Spirits Retreat my spiritual home.

One of my biggest passions is supporting others to see and feel the magic and power that is within. Kahuna is much more than just a massage, it is a soul to soul dance where I meet you, breathe with you, connect deeply with your body and listen to the messages within.

Through bringing touch, breath and awareness to all parts of you; body, mind, heart and soul; I am your guide as you heal yourself one touch, one breathe, one heartbeat at a time.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you on your journey of personal discovery at Mette's Institute.

Cooking and Teacher to the renowned Spirit of Woman Retreat at the serene abode of High Spirits, Jacque eagerly awaits the opportunity to meet you, sharing her nurturing wisdom and guiding your transformative journey at Mette's Institute—a sanctuary dedicated to personal growth, healing, and the celebration of the human spirit.
