Animal Reiki
Reiki is a method of hands on healing that works with both the body and mind. Practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonise - seeking to restore order to the body where vital energy has become unbalanced. Often resulting in deep relaxation and a feeling of security and wellbeing, Reiki disperses negative energy blockages, detoxifies and purifies the system and provides renewed vitality and energy.
Best of all, it is 100% safe + natural.
Reiki for Animals:
Reiki is ideal for use with animals as it is gentle and non-invasive. It does not cause stress, discomfort or pain, and yields powerful results. Animals respond intuitively to Reiki’s power to heal emotional, behavioural, and physical illnesses and injuries.
For animals that are healthy:
Reiki helps to maintain their health and wellbeing, enhancing relaxation and providing an emotional sense of peace + contentment.
For animals that are ill:
Reiki is a wonderful healing method as well as a safe complement to western medicine, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, flower essences, and all other forms of healing. For example, Reiki can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, support an acupuncture treatment, and enhance the effects of flower essences.
For Dying animals:
Reiki is a powerful yet very gentle way to provide comfort, relief from pain, fear and anxiety, and to ease the transition to death. Reiki is also useful for other pets and the rest of the family to assist in overcoming grief and pain at the loss of a loved one.
Sessions are at our studio for 30 mins $40 or we can travel to you.

Aroha Healing Fertility program
Increase your fertility with Aroha Healing
Usually women suffering from infertility are directed to medical intervention; IVF and hormone injections. While these procedures do work for some, they are extremely costly, invasive, time consuming and can be painful. These procedures are used to treat the symptoms of infertility. Aroha Healing focuses on discovering the root cause of the problem.
The Aroha Healing Fertility program combines unique and powerful ancient spiritual philosophies, holistic methodology, meditation, dynamic bodywork and dance with a modern, earthy twist to assist in increasing your chances of conceiving naturally without invasive intervention. Hawaiian Ka huna massage, Aroha Healing Miri miri creative floor work, Reiki energy healing, herbal consultations & fertility assisting herbs, healing mudras and meditation to release anxiety and focus your intention to conceive, holistic nutritional advice and Bellydance (the ancient spiritual dance of fertility and birthing), allow the systems of the body to swiftly unblock and clear the way both physically and mentally, to support a more balanced & fertile you.
If we focus on the abundance of Mother Nature, there is no part of nature that is infertile. Trees, animals, birdlife, insects, grasses, vegetables and all the creatures that live in nature do not know infertility.
Nature’s intellect has intuitive knowledge of when to seed, when to hibernate and when to mate. Nature & fertility are not all about falling pregnant to create a baby, it is all about recognising that creative intelligence that is deep within the self. Creative intelligence can be defined as innate knowing, loving and feeling our body, connecting with our senses, and then turning to this deep inner wisdom for outward expression.
Within our fertility research at Aroha Healing we have discovered that in many cases infertility can be attributed to scar tissue, obstructions in the fallopian tubes, adhesions, accumulation of toxins, stress and anxiety. Our fertility bodywork and energy healing sessions can address all of these issues at once in a gentle holistic way, and within a caring, supportive environment. We employ ancient and sacred forms of holistic massage methods that can have an amazingly positive effect in the facilitation of conception and help support a healthy pregnancy. We use deep abdominal massage and Reiki energy healing to direct and increase blood flow and circulation to the reproductive area, resulting in enhanced overall health of the reproductive organs, with the intention to conceive. We gently, yet effectively massage & heal obstructions, adhesions and fibrous scar tissue that binds the pelvic organs which could have been caused by past pelvic infections, abdominal surgery, physical trauma or poor digestive flow. We also focus on the mind body connection, with the intention of assisting with the release of fear, anxiety and stress. This focus assists in changing outmoded and unnecessary thought patterns that can affect the body’s natural ability to flow without blockages in energy.
Detoxification of the body is an integral step of the Aroha healing fertility program. The bodywork & Bellydance classes we provide aid in the release of toxins through the stimulation of the lymphatic system. This lymphatic system drains fluids from your body and detoxifies your tissues by filtering out toxins and foreign substances, strengthening the immune system in the process. A sluggish lymphatic system means that the waste disposal process in your body is compromised, and the body suffers from a build-up of stagnant lymph. When lymph circulation stagnates, toxins accumulate impairing cellular function which indirectly affects your ability to conceive.
Aroha Healing Fertility bodywork induces deep relaxation, therefore releasing stress. It is well documented that stress affects the hormonal system to the point of preventing the implantation of the fertilised embryo. By effectively reducing the amount of stress through the Aroha Healing fertility program, we can assist in improving your chances of getting pregnant, and staying pregnant. The journey of falling pregnant can be a highly stressful one and anxiety can block your attempts to conceive as high stress and anxiety levels disrupt the hormonal system, thus affecting ovulation timing, cervical mucus production, and implantation in women, along with sperm quality and count in men. Aroha Healing fertility programs are designed specifically to not only to increase the flow of blood to the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, but also to increase a sense of well being, whilst strengthening the immune system, stimulation and balance of the production of hormones, along with the improved health of the lymphatic system. The result of putting the above into practice is a dramatically increased chance of conceiving a baby!
Benefits of Aroha Healing Fertility bodywork

- Releases energy blocks

If you want to conceive naturally, the Aroha Healing Fertility program will prepare your body to create an enhanced state of wellbeing in which assisted reproductive processes can be as effective as they can possibly be. The program also assists to release toxins accumulated in the body as a result of medication, and helps you to learn how to deeply relax and have a more positive outlook about your life.
The Aroha Healing Fertility Program combines all of the following elements to ensure the most effective results for each and every client we see.
The power of Touch
This element of the Aroha Healing Fertility program is incorporating regular, specific, dynamic and energetic bodywork sessions into your weekly regime; Hawaiian Ka huna massage, Miri miri (traditional Maori massage) & creative floor work, and Reiki energy healing – 4 hands (2 practitioners). These carefully chosen massages are powerful in their own right, delivery and technique, however they are also non-invasive, alternative therapies that involve full energetic body work in different forms, utilising a fusion of ancient and modern techniques. This element focuses on promoting general wellbeing and relaxation but most importantly decreasing scarring, pelvic adhesions, tubal obstruction and increasing the blood and energy flow as well as improving the function of the reproductive organs and awakening the flow of the lower chakras (energy centres).
Aroha Healing massage therapy to promote fertility is focused and applied to help treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts and other medical conditions that can cause low fertility in women.
We also offer Aroha Healing massage therapy programs for men with low fertility issues.
Hawaiian Ka huna massage
To try and define Ka Huna massage is like trying to describe what a flower looks smells and feels like to some who has never seen one before. You can only ever really ‘know’ by the experience of holding a flower in your hands and breathing in it lush fragrances and being in awe at its magical beauty. Like the essence of a flower, Ka Huna is beyond words, and in that moment of giving and receiving it is beyond being and non-being, pure love. It is a celebration of our humanity; it is the massage of life.
The Hawaiian people view all aspects of the body as one, believing that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the ‘whole self’. What makes Ka Huna massage such a very special style is its combination of movement, dance, rhythm, breath, energy and massage. The practitioner is in constant movement around the massage table, following specific patterns of foot placement and body posture. The arms sweep over the body in long, flowing movements to the pulse of music, creating a very fluid and rhythmical massage, like a bird flying through the sky.
Another characteristic of Ka Huna is the application of flowing strokes using forearms, elbows as well as two hands combining body draining, soft and deep tissue massage, under body massage, and energy balancing to form very dynamic and transformational bodywork, perfect for enhancing fertility.
Ka Huna Bodywork explores: the Huna Philosophy: The seven principles of Huna
- Ike Means ‘to see, know, feel, perceive, be aware, understand’ The world is what you think it is
- Kala means ‘to loosed, untie, free, release, forgive’ There are no limits
- Mākia means ‘aim, purpose, to aim or strive for, to concentrate on’ Energy Flows where attention goes
- Manawa means ‘time, season, affections, feelings’ Now is the moment of power
- Aloha means “love, affection, compassion, sympathy, kindness, charity” and so much more To love is to be happy with
- Mana means ‘supernatural or divine power, miraculous power, authority, power’ All power comes from within
- Pono, the word representing the last principle, means goodness, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, wellbeing, prosperity, success, assets, use, purpose’ Effectiveness is the measure of truth or Truth is measured by results
Ka Huna bodywork also explores Hawaiian breathing and male/female energy balance. It emphasizes the importance of intent, focus, belief systems, movement and dance within the massage. This is the massage of Life!
Miri Miri
Miri miri is the traditional holistic healing tradition or massage technique of Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa / New Zealand. Miri miri is steeped in Maori customs and culture, encompassing whanau ora (family health), tinana ora (physical health), hinengaro ora (mental health), and wairua ora (spiritual health). Maori culture is thought to have originated from the Pacific Ocean, with links to languages from both Tahitian and Hawaiian cultures, and is associated and inspired by nature. Miri miri is a holistic tradition used for healing the physical, emotional and spiritual elements of ourselves, as opposed to Western traditions, which primarily focus on the physical.
Practitioners follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, following a tradition that dates back hundreds of years, whilst evolving the technique to embrace our modern society.
The massage dance is preceded by karakia (traditional prayer), followed by rhythmic, therapeutic massage strokes inspired by the natural flow of nature and the ocean. Practitioners will use gentle breathing techniques to allow for the transfer of energy to the recipient, resulting in a more balanced, therapeutic and deeply relaxing experience.
Reiki and Fertility
Many couples who suffer from unexplained infertility are told they need to find ways to reduce stress. Stress and anxiety contribute to the normal bodily functions. Men suffer from low sperm count due to stress and a women’s ovulation process can be greatly affected as the result of a stressful lifestyle. We live in a very stressful society, where we are pushed to succeed in life as high achievers, yet we are not taught how to relax and bring balance into our busy lives.
One natural fertility treatment that is increasingly rising in popularity is Reiki. Using Reiki as a natural fertility method can improve your chances of getting pregnant through maximising and promoting optimal wellbeing & health within the body, including reproductive health.
In addition to promoting optimal preconception health, Reiki healing can also help to enhance excellent prenatal health. Studies have found that regular Reiki healing sessions reduced stress and discomfort during pregnancy.
Reiki assists to improve and raise energy levels, boost the immune system, reduce stress, reduce pain, help with anxiety, and detoxify the body.
Reiki Treatment
Reiki is a simple, yet very effective form of healing that consists of the Reiki practitioner placing his or her hands on the client’s body (over the clothes) with the intention of promoting relaxation. The practitioner has been attuned to the Reiki energy (Universal Life Energy). The role of the practitioner is to channel this energy into the body of the client eliciting a healing response.
When you receive a Reiki treatment for infertility, the Reiki practitioner will focus on balancing the energy fields within the body known as the Chakras. Chakra activation and unblocking of stagnant energy flow can be intense and energising, yet calming for the recipient. Applied Reiki treatment will allow energy to flow freely throughout the body; the flow of fertility is enhanced and intensified for the recipient.
Aroha Healing incorporates 4 handed Reiki (2 practitioners) and Reiki facial & head therapies into our Fertility program.
Aroha Healing Creative Floor work
Aimed at stimulating and increasing energy flow throughout the entire body, our creative floor work incorporates lessons in everyday movements you can do at home. Our practitioners are hands on in stretching, balancing and moving your body into a variety of poses. A little like yoga with the benefit of your teacher actively assisting you to achieve the most beneficial pose or health inducing stretch.
Healing Mudras to help promote Fertility
Healing mudras or yoga for the hands are sacred hand gestures that provide us with efficient, powerful ancient techniques for our busy modern lives. Mudra is a Sanskrit word and in ancient times were an irreplaceable aspect of yoga practice. There are Indian texts which explain how mudras are an ancient science that have been used for thousands of years to restore health. Mudras are literally health in your hands. Our thumbs, fingers and the palms of our hands are constantly emitting electromagnetic currents of energy and by creating certain postures with your hands, fingers and thumbs, allow us to open up energy channels to encourage flow and healing. Mudras are known to connect you with your sacred powers, and freeing them for your use every day. All you have to do is learn how to activate one function at a time to allow the discovery of new ways to program your mind and body to achieve your full potential. Aroha Healing Fertility program utilises the following teachings of specific Mudras to promote stress free wellbeing and happiness. You will learn the following Mudras that are best suited to how you are feeling.
- Mudra for developing meditation
- Mudra for patience
- Mudra for fertility
- Mudra for Happiness
- Mudra for protecting your health
- Mudra for feeling your energy body
- Mudra for balancing sexual energy
- Mudra for overcoming anxiety
- Mudra for calming the mind
Bellydance
An essential facet of the Aroha Healing Fertility program is cultural dance. Bellydance originated thousands of years ago as a fertility rite. The strongest energy that can be formed within the body is sexual energy. The movements that awaken sexual energy flow most intensely are the hip circling, bouncing, tilting and vibrating motions of the hips and pelvis, as well as the contractions of the abdominal area – all part of Bellydancing.
Bellydance is an expressive, dynamic art form that requires a special kind of mastery that relies on intuitive awareness, movement, balance and spatial geometry. Although dance presents itself as a physical art, it brings out emotive response through the body’s articulation of the music. On an emotional level it is liberating, uplifting and helps the dancer experience instinctive rhythmic patterns and feelings. Since its days as an ancient fertility rite, Bellydancing directly supports sexual and sensual function of a woman’s body. It improves all aspects of her life: fitness and hormonal re-balancing, confidence and communication, sensual expression, and dynamic living.
Bellydance can reduce fibroids. Belly dancing is fun and dynamic, a great form of exercise, sexy and evidently can be a fibroid shifting exercise. It’s no accident that it originally developed as a fertility ritual. If we think of fibroids the way holistic medicine practitioners do; as the result of stagnant energy in the pelvic area - what better way to unblock that stagnant energy than to shake your hips vigorously!
You can dance your way to fertility! We teach a fun, easy to follow, effective weekly Bellydance fitness class in Ponsonby & Grey Lynn. As a part of the Aroha Healing Fertility program it is essential to attend Bellydance class at least once a week and if you miss a class and would like a one on one session, or with a Bellydance fitness session with a few friends we can easily arrange this for you.
History of Bellydance for Fertility and Birth
In ancient times the moon had great influence on the feminine cycle and women gathered for rituals once a month. These blood and fertility rituals happened mostly during the night, to the exclusion of men and places chosen for the rituals were specifically elevated and usually on hilltops. The hills symbolised the feminine, as they rise gently above the earth, like the belly. It was on top of the hills, on the navel of the earth that the women of these primitive societies danced. Their dances revolved around fertility and therefore the belly played a major part. The dance was performed to strengthen sexual energy, open the lower chakras and to awaken joy, and to praise the mysteries of life. The women danced their dance, a dance that ultimately corresponded to their body and expressed all the feelings, moods, longings, sufferings and joys of being a woman. Through their dance, they harmonised with the universe. No other dance can express this more clearly and passionately than Bellydance. It is considered the oldest dance in the whole of civilisation, traditionally performed for other women and often during fertility rites. In essence, bellydancing is a celebration of femininity, life and is a fertility dance, which enhances a woman’s ability to conceive, and also helps her to give life to a robust and healthy child.
A woman’s body is strengthened by Bellydance and the rolling circular movements and figure-eight’s are good preparation for childbirth. The rolling movements not only feel natural but assist with the normal pelvic relaxing process to prepare for birth, and at the same time help firm the pelvic muscles for labour and post-pregnancy recovery. Pregnant mothers agree that bellydancing relieves back pain and keeps the body supple. Births are reported to be much easier, relaxed births with the ‘Bellydance baby’. Bellydancing, fertility & childbirth have been intricately linked for thousands of years, from the days of ancient female deity worship to tribal fertility ceremony and existing birthing customs in Arabian villages. Celebrating the miracle of fertility & birth with its original dance reflects gratitude and praise for the creation of life.

Aroha Healing Fertility Program
Having suffered from endometriosis since my twenties, and diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in my thirties - I’ve always worried about my ability to conceive. Even before I was ready to start a family, I decided it would be a good idea to visit a fertility specialist to get an idea of what my chances were and what I could do to ensure they stayed as high as possible. I was referred to a medical fertility specialist who put me back on the contraceptive pill (to halt the progression of my conditions) and assured me my chances would be average- ish as long as I kept fit and healthy. However, this just didn’t seem like enough – and I still felt emotionally upset / hormonally out of whack – not to mention the fact that I was also suffering from a most definite departure of my libido!
I heard about Aroha Healing through the grapevine, and was impressed with the no-nonsense, professional yet gentle and all natural approach of founding Director Rosanna Marks. Previously a little sceptical of naturopaths, alternative therapies and the ability of things like massage and yoga to actually heal oneself – I was immediately won over on my first visit. It became clear within minutes of arriving that Rosanna and her team knew their stuff and used well researched and proven methods and techniques to enhance and regulate fertility.
But perhaps even more important was the emotional healing I received through visiting Aroha Healing. I hadn’t really appreciated the toll my health problems had taken on my emotions, my investment in relationships with men and my plans for the future. I’d been dead scared for years that I wouldn’t be able to realise the dream of being a Mum & that my whole life would amount to a lot less than I and those around me expected it to.
The mind-body approach at Aroha Healing allowed me to overcome the physical and emotional scarring of Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Benefits quite aside from my hormones were evident in clearer skin, increased flexibility, less neck and back tension and a whole heap more mental clarity and emotional strength no matter how bad my day at work had gone! The holistic approach of integrating healing practices such as Reiki with hands-on physical therapy like Hawaiian Ka huna massage and recommendations for dietary changes and naturopathic herb supplements meant I never felt overwhelmed with one particular thing. All were manageable in individual doses, with support from Aroha Healing’s practitioners every step of the way via weekly consults.
I’m halfway through my Aroha Healing Fertility Program and I can feel the changes in my body already. But they hardly compare to the change in mental state and emotional outlook I’ve experienced. In fact I’ve come to realise I was probably in a state of minor depression about my uncertain fertility for a number of years.
Best of all, I think my libido is heating up again – and I’ve never felt so in love or appreciative of my partner’s support. I can’t recommend Aroha Healing highly enough to anyone looking to turn around, improve or even just safeguard their fertility or hormonal health. In an age where we’re discovering the effectiveness of natural remedies and the long-term and little publicised adverse affects of scientific medicine, it’s reassuring to know that I’m doing what nature intended with my body.

Reiki Healing session…
Rosanna is a very warm, generous and supportive person who has helped me to work towards my goals, where I have broken through personal and professional barriers that I no longer needed. She let me see that it really is so easy to off load thoughts and values that are no longer useful, while maintaining integrity with everyone around me and to change my life by changing my thoughts. Her ability to incorporate massage, reiki, healing and coaching into one session was instrumental to this and the outcome has seen me go from my corporate existence to one of moving closer to living out my long held dream life, both professionally and personally. Without her encouragement, support and help I am not convinced that I would be doing this now.

Facial Therapy…
I just wanted to tell you how AMAZING my facial was yesterday. I left there feeling lighter and more beautiful. It wasn’t just the incredible massage or the beautiful products, it was the beauty & love with which you gave me the facial
Brenda
Rosanna, Thank you so much for the wonderful facial, it was lovely I really enjoyed it and my skin felt great. I will be back as soon as I can!
Hawaiian Ka Huna massage…
I have been going to see Rosanna for a few months now and I must say it is the most uplifting, energising feeling I have ever experienced. The Ka Huna massage is wonderful, and the four handed Ka Huna massage is out of this world. I can’t thank you enough for making me feel so good, so happy, so alive and other things I just can’t put into words. This is an experience not to be missed.

Dearest Rosanna,
The KAHUNA massage that I received from you was a wonderful balancing experience of my mind body and spirit. Especially the blend of strokes of Kundalini style massage was so wonderfully executed by you, and the cherry on the cake was the movement of Kundalini trigger from my feet, when you swayed them side to side. I felt the Ka huna massage has a flowing energy like the serpent (Kundalini) energy too. The fluid movement of the strokes along with the rhythmic movement of your own body while massaging made the experience of receiving more feminine and yet balancing the yang in my body.
I have had many massages and of many styles too. Your signature style with the touch of genuine love and compassion is something out of this world.
Thank you ever so much.
Love, KaVeeTa
Dear Rosanna,
I would like to say that my visit to you on Wednesday was truely incredible. I felt warmth and cared for, and the massage was so up lifting.
Aroha Healing Retreat, August 2010…
This is a unique experience. Wonderful flowing nurturing and energising massage. The combination of techniques that make up Aroha healing are all wonderful in their own right, but when combined are very special. A very enjoyable and fulfilling workshop…
I would recommend the Aroha retreat to anyone who wants to open themselves up to new experiences, move past inhibitions and feel more at peace and comfortable with themselves. I think it is a great experience for people in pairs or on their own. You will leave feeling relaxed and de-stressed…
This was an awakening experience for me. In life we tend to leave many doors closed but I feel at last that some fo those doors are slowly opening and I am being able to give of myself. Thank you for this opportunity. I think we were a wonderful group of people who all seemed to have that sensitivity and desire to become more spiritual in our everyday lives. I have made new friends…
I have had a fantastic time opening up and connecting with others & learning new healing skills, all in a beautiful natural setting. Thank you for the opportunity!...
A fabulous way for couples to learn more about how to connect. Lovely people & great learnings. Thank you.
Aroha Healing Women’s Retreat - September 2010…
Attending Aroha Healing womens retreat was a blessing. It was a powerful and cathartic experience which provided me with the knowledge and experience to move through some primary and debilitating barriers. This is a weekend that I encourage all women to attend; to be supported in a loving and empathic embrace while being provided with the tools and experience to step forward into our power as the empress we all are.
Te whakawhetai me te whakamoemiti ki a koe Rosanna
The aroha healing women’s course was a fantastic experience, you created a nurturing environment and beautiful facilitation which allowed us to open up effortlessly and integrate the true essence of the course. Thank you for the beautiful gift. I have spoken to alot of people about your aroha healing retreats already and am positive that you will hear from many of them in the near future. Many of whom I have spoken to are looking for ways to connect with ourselves and their partners on a soul level.
Reiki 1 Nature Retreat August 2011…
Rosanna is a genuine healer and teacher, radiating warmth and generosity in a grounded and down-to-earth way that naturally inspires others to her. Attending her Reiki 1 retreat was a deeply relaxing and healing experience for me. Rosanna held everyone in our group with gentle care, guidance and attention, supplied us some great resources and ensured that we were all well fed with delicious food. By the end of the weekend I felt reiki flowing through my hands, and felt very blessed. I am really looking forward to getting back together with all the beautiful people from our group, for monthly Reiki swaps now!
Thank you Rosanna for making the weekend such a special experience. Kate
I feel that the setting really helped to set the scene for the learning’s, it allowed the group to come together and feel at ease more quickly and also having the vegetarian diet and quiet provided a great foundation for healthy living. Having Ben with us was also a great bonus - he added a great energy but also gave everyone an opportunity to ask and learn in a way that suited them. No judgements were made over the weekend. Rosanna is a natural teacher who creates the perfect space for all to learn and grow.
The content covered exceeded expectations and I feel it was perfect for our group and our setting. What we covered gave us all an understanding at different levels as we had the opportunity to discuss and explore different experiences etc. 100% recommended! Lara
Since doing the course I have felt an essential calmness and improved relationships with family, friends and workmates. It is the one thing in my day that brings me peace even if I practice for only 5 minutes. Really look forward to continuing with Reiki. Thank you Rosanna. Janet
I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in energy healing. The course content was presented beautifully and professionally and everything flowed really well. I left the course feeling energised and with a heightened sense of awareness. Thanks for providing a wonderful space to learn and grow. Debbie
A wonderful weekend, loved it all, feel like I have been re-awakened. Thank you so much. Glen
The weekend was an incredible escape from the ‘normality’ of everyday life. The practice of Reiki can be adapted and learnt by anyone, and is such a wonderful self healing therapy. Rosanna and Ben made everyone feel extremely wellcome and relaxed. It was a very special weekend. 10/10 and a gold star!!! Jo
Sacred Aroha Retreat September 2011…
Hi my name’s Wendy Farry, I have just finished the Sacred Aroha Practitioner course with Rosanna Marks at Aio Wira Retreat.
I was very excited about learning a non-sexual form of tantra education, as I had previously tried the sexual form and it wasn’t what I was looking for. Although I was nervous on the first day I quickly felt at ease by Rosanna’s professional attitude towards such a personal topic. Coming from a Reiki and massage background I thought I would know alot of the content already, but in the 3 days I learnt so much more than I expected and not just about tantra but also about me.
Both the theory and practical were easily presented and I felt completely safe and comfortable in the environment, and knew that I could openly speak up if any awkwardness came up.
I’ve come away from this experience with a lot more love for myself and humanity and was also lucky enough to share it with some very beautiful people who I know I will stay in touch with.
If your ready to experience pure love and empowerment I ask you to give this program a try, you will be amazed at your own growth!!
Lots of blessings to you
Wendy
This was one of the most special, beautiful weekends of my life… more than I could have ever imagined. I will highly recommend this sacred weekend to people who want to break through their wounds and protective layers, restore love and deep connection, celebrate sacred union and truly hounour each other with love. Thank you SO much for being willing to tread where many would dare not… a priceless gift!!

Aroha Healing Retreat November 2011
This retreat made me realise how much goes into a healing massage and taught me a lot about myself and even more about the chakras, so now I can go out and share with others.
Wendy
The way in which Rosanna passes on her art is so open, loving and full of truth you cannot help but be enveloped by the loving energy which fills the soul and makes it incredibly easy to learn

You are here: Home | Massage & Healing | Kundalini Massage
Kundalini Massage
In Western cultures, body contact is seldom a part of people’s everyday behaviour. Our ever-developing technology allows us to be hooked up to our computers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have created a world of automated conveniences, where little movement is required. These features of our modern lifestyle impair our ability to connect with our bodies, and a growing number of people are responding to this disconnection by visiting massage therapists for relaxation and stress reduction.
Many body tensions are indications of repressed or unexpressed holding patterns. They may be the result of lifelong patterns of tension, or they may be caused by current or pat physical trauma. Simply put, the nature or our reactions to our own unique environmental stressors is actually captured in our bodies. Massage therapists act as facilitators or catalyts of change to the body structure. Your Kundalini massage therapist works with you to address habitual holding patterns. Some examples of common holding patterns are:
- A stiff neck, uplifted chin, and rounded shoulders as if you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
- A fixed, military chest that takes command, but is lacking in flexibility.
- A sunken, withdrawn chest that attempts to shield its owner from life’s stresses.
Most of us have a predominant holding pattern that may be one of the above listed, and many of us have combinations of holding patterns. It is the practitioners contact with the body or movement of the body that allows them entry to your soma-body, which helps you to become whole and integrated once more. It is the practitioner’s goal is to help you gain insight into your pattern of holding, or lack of flow, and to make you aware of the increased energy it takes to hold that pattern. This way you can slowly learn to reduce or eliminate the holding pattern, which is often a defense mechanism, if in fact, you are ready to give it up.
Massage has been a part of the major medical delivery system all over the world since its inception. During the 19th century, there was a loss of interest in manual techniques in Western medicine when pharmaceuticals became a more prominent part of treatment. Since the early part of the 20th century, however, we have been experiencing a resurgence ot the practice of manual holistic therapies.
The Kundalini massage technique combines a variety of scientifically and empirically developed massage techniques and uses the Kundalini Energy to heal deep parts of energy blocks caused by stress and past traumas that are stored in the deeper tissue of the body. The Kundalini massage technique is applied by the practitioner, who has learnt how to prepare with a very deep connection using the kundalini Healing. To best facilitate healing the practitioner works with the intention of positively affecting health and well being. Techniques include holding, causing movement, and/or applying pressure through stroking the body in a series of actions that are systemic and rythmic in nature.
Adding a deeper dimension to massage, your practitioner will also go through each of your 7 energy centres, called the Chakra system, guiding you on where they are, what they are and how the work and function in the energetic field. Also working through blockages and fundamentals of the chakra, through its mantra, to its colour and symbol. Your practitioner will assist you with visualisation that will enable you to meditate into this space if there are blockages to help unleash the chakras true energetic potential.
Your Kundalini practitioner will also assist you with deep breathwork. Breathing techniques assist with blood flow through the body, opening and expanding your awareness. Systems of breath and Pranayama have been found to enhance the bodies natural healing abilities and bring you into a deep state of bliss and conciousness.
All of this is complimented with a full body massage.
This massage is a deeply fascinating journey into your inner most realms. If you are on a spiritual path and wish to open your thought processes into places where you thought you could not tread previously, experience this massage.

Premature Ejaculation
PREMATURE EJACULATION AND SACRED TANTRA
Many men experience premature ejaculation when making love. This can often result in embarrassment for themselves and frustration for their partners. For sex to be fulfilling, it needs to be sustained long enough for both people to peak. There’s really no predetermined length of time, though, that quantifies “healthy sex”. We could say, basically, that anytime a man orgasms without wanting to, they’ve experienced premature ejaculation. When this happens, it’s often a result of over arousal. Sacred Tantra views such a condition as the result of energy blockages, and addresses it with various simple techniques that move energy past this block so the individual can feel more balanced and in control during lovemaking.
Other disciplines involve mostly solitary practice, Tantra uses the interaction between partners as a springboard both for personal growth and for deepening intimacy. One basic assumption of Tantra is that sexual energy is the root energy of life. Often it is thought that there is a suppression of sexual energy flow within lower energy centers (known as chakras).
A simple technique taught by sacred tantra is offered in level 1 of the sacred tantra program. The perfect moment to do this - because of the concentration of energy - is right before reaching climax, either during lovemaking or self-pleasuring. The technique involves the manipulation of what is known as the PC muscle, which is located between the genitals and the anus, and one’s breathing. You can feel the PC muscle contracting if you stop yourself in the midst of urinating. Once you’ve isolated it, practice contracting and relaxing it. This muscle is involved in most Tantric exercises that involve any kind of bodywork. The rest of the technique is fairly simple. When you’re nearing the “point of no return” during whatever form of sexual activity, cease stimulation (i.e., pull out or stop stimulating yourself). Then contract the PC muscle, lower your chin to your chest (this is important, as it prevents energy from rising too high and making you feel ungrounded) and draw an in-breath, feeling the warmth of sexual energy rise upwards in your body. Repeat this as needed, until the urge to release is no longer urgent.
The Sacred Tantra Massage program teaches you these skills and techniques through its initial 3 level non sexual program.

About the Chakras
The chakras are the key to physical health, emotional stability and mental clarity. The chakras are vortexes of moving energy, which then stimulate various endocrine organs in the body to secrete hormones into the blood system. The effects of hormones control our body. They also affect our state of mind.
The chakras purify our energy from the gross, physical plane associated with our primal instincts and basic animal nature, turning it into a highly refined spiritual plane that connects us with the source of life itself. When we begin the journey into our Chakras we open the way for healing, psychological development and spiritual growth.
As we progress upward through the energy centres, we learn more about who we are and the ideas and attitudes that form our lives.
This system of healing is ancient. It was mentioned in Vedic records and many original cultures embraced an understanding of energy. The Egyptians perfected it through aromatherapy and colour healing. The early Jews codified their understanding of these principles in the mystical Kabbalah and the Islamic Sufi’s embraced the Energy as a connection with God.
Today in our highly charged world we are in urgent need of understanding this ancient knowledge.
Beginning with Kundalini bodywork to energise and awaken your Chakra system increasing internal power and energy sources. Various movements over the body will help increase circulation and promote well bring.
Chakra Balance Sessions include a full body massage with Chakra activation
