The Surprising Effectiveness of “Online Bodywork”

Are you, like many of us, spending more time than ever on computer screens and phones?

As much as too much screen time isn’t great for us, and can drain our energy, I am being pleasantly surprised by how much healing can take place through the waves of the internet.

I just attended a complimentary online session with a lovely woman who took us through an easy intuitive drawing process that helped me realize that I have been pushing myself to hard, that I feel tired and uncertain, and that I need to take more naps in order to feel more buoyant and confident. She also gave me tips on how to make sure that I keep that appointment with myself and not give up the time I’ve put in my calendar that is my ‘self-care’ time. It is just as important as an appointment with a doctor, or a friend or any other appointment that I would show up for.  Great way to reframe how we think about our ‘self care’ time. 

It was such a simple, but profound, process held in one hour in a very gentle, supportive online zoom session, with about 8 other people. 

So, I wanted to let you know about how an ‘online Kahuna Bodywork’ session can be surprisingly effective in shifting your energy, calming your nerves, quieting your busy mind, and relieving physical aches and pains. I like to think of it as a combination of energy work, bodywork, physical therapy, Kahuna energy techniques

Of course, online bodywork will never be the same as the hands-on experience of physical loving touch.

The amount of oxytocin, the bonding, feel-good hormone, that gets released in your body when you receive a hands-on massage cannot be replicated in an online session, but there is definitely some oxytocin and other feel-good hormones that start to flow and clear out stagnation when we connect via technology.

When we create a deeply restorative, personalized healing space, infused with love and the spirit of aloha, it contributes to the success of the session, and encourages your whole being to relax.

When we work with healing intention, and focus totally on you and what your body needs to relax, magic happens. The power of intention is big! 

I recorded a real ‘online bodywork’ session with my long-time client, Sue, who allowed me to share it with you, so I made a video, to give you a taste of what an online session is like….  You can watch the 5-minute video here.

After the session, Sue said,

“My neck and shoulders had more space and I felt I was walking up straighter! I feel that I achieved and received far more than I expected from a session online like this !  It was an incredible experience! My intention was to open my heart and my hope was to ease the achiness in my body.After the session I felt wonderful – open, relaxed, happy and less achy.  And I had a smile on my face as I sat and reflected after the session.” 

Other people have said:

“Thank you for a lovely session. I enjoyed it very much. I do feel more relaxed, open, centered and grounded.”

 “The day after my online massage, I woke up feeling like my mind had stopped spinning around and thinking of millions of things at once. I woke up in a good mood, my body didn’t feel tense, and my energy levels were higher than they have been since lockdown started. I felt like I could take in more air throughout the day.” 

“It is the closest to calm one can get in this strange time. I went in feeling tense and tired, in my body and mind, and left the session feeling rebooted yet calm.”

Although I was skeptical about receiving an online massage Brenda was able to bring that same soothing and calming quality with her voice as she does with her touch. By providing me with very clear instruction Brenda guided me in ways to relieve tension in my body which were very effective and which helped to ease my breathing and reduce my stress levels.”~ Niki

I hope to see you online. 

I just wanted to let you know that ‘all things are possible – even when we can’t imagine it. (This is the principle of KALA in Kahuna Bodywork practice).

And if this is possible, then what else is possible in the realm of online healing? I’ve experienced a lot of transformation myself via online programs, and I’ll be bringing you more online opportunities to heal with me through cyberspace, in community with others. 

Watch this space for Intuitive Creativity online programs and a ‘Journey To Find Your Flow’.
I am really looking forward to supporting you in this new way, although I am REALLY missing giving from my heart through my hands in hands-on kahuna massage sessions.

Please let me know how I can help you, so that you can feel full to overflowing with joy, vitality and strength to see you through these challenging days, and to help you to serve those who need your help. 

To all our health, creativity and flow,
