12 years on, Sydney Ka Huna is still
providing a place of healing and
renewal for our clients.

In 1998, Nemara Hennigan’s life took an exceptional turn when she won a Level One Ka Huna Massage training course at the Mind, Body, Spirit festival in Sydney.

“As soon as I saw this massage being performed, I was captivated by the dance and the heartfelt touch. I had to find out what it was all about! I got on the table for a massage and the next 30 minutes changed the course of my life.

The universe was looking out for me that day as I ended up winning a place on the Level One training course”

With her sights firmly set on a life involving Ka Huna massage, Nemara completed five levels of training over the proceeding months and with four other practitioners opened up The Ka Huna Centre in July 1998.

Setting out to provide Sydney’s most extraordinary massage experience, The Ka Huna Centre attracted people from all walks of life, from all over Sydney and beyond.

“The early days were full of such growth and learning for everyone coming to the centre as well as the practitioners. I knew that the centre was fast becoming a place of profound healing and restoration for people. It’s been such a pleasure to watch the business grow over the years”.

Still hungry to inspire people, Nemara completed Heartworks Lomi Lomi teacher training in 1999 and started conducting Heartworks Massage Courses just north of Sydney.
“So many people wanted to know more about Hawaiian massage, so I started running these courses for our clients who knew the magical, supporting benefits of Ka Huna. The result was an absolute influx of people wanting to become practitioners as well as those wanting to use Hawaiian massage techniques at home.”

Officially rebranded as Sydney Ka Huna in 2010, the centre has grown to 14 practitioners, with Nemara now being the sole owner of the business. She still organises Heartworks Healing Retreats and gets her regular Ka Huna treatments from the beautiful practitioners at her centre.

“This business has been such a gift to have in my life. I have watched so many people walk out of here glowing with confidence and radiant transformation. The possibilities are absolutely endless with a Ka Huna treatment – I’m loving being on this journey to open people’s hearts by helping them celebrate who they are. I know we will be offering this place of warmth for many years to come”.
