“In my experience, Kahuna is the only massage where I feel completely safe and held on all levels. My body is able to let go of tension and contractions, and I leave with a feeling of deep peace and relaxation (and a burning desire for another massage:) ) – Jo- homeopathic doctor (2017)

What a remarkable experience receiving a massage from Brenda is.  She intuitively moves with my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being, releasing blockages and opening me up to greater awareness.  Each massage I receive from her is completely different than the previous.  I am constantly surprised by the new and different kinds of body, energy and spiritual work she brings to each session.  Never before have I received this kind of body work and what a gift it is.    – Sonia, Yoga Teacher

“After coming to you for treatments three times a week for a month now, my fibromyalgia is much better. I am sleeping better than I was, but your treatment gives me a much deeper rest than sleep ever does. And after years of not feeling like exercising or moving my body, I feel lighter and I actually feel like moving now.  I have more energy and I’m coping better with what life brings me. Thank you so much.” – Helen – mother of three, regular client (2015)

“I chose to gift myself with a series of Kahuna massages with Brenda over a very full six-month period in which I was running my business at high speed while renovating and preparing to get married. If it hadn’t been for the depth of emotional care and body release I experienced from Kahuna under Brenda’s equally gentle and powerful hands, I doubt I would have made it to the altar in the calm and fully present state I did! My husband and family were grateful too! Kahuna is now part of my monthly self care routine.”- Julia, Professional Coach (2017)

“The massages have been like a dance between Brenda and myself that incorporate full body awareness, profound breathwork, and a liberation of deeply lodged emotion. It is unlike any conventional massage experience I have ever had. For one, it isn’t a massage that is “being done to me”, rather an experience I am also actively involved in.   Brenda is acutely present and remains highly intuitive during the entire experience. There is no one size fits all method to Brenda‘s work and skill. Simply put, she responds to what the body needs at the moment it needs it and does so with grace, skill, and compassion. As the sessions have continued I become more tuned in to the fact that each session represents a thread in a much larger tapestry of holistic healing. It has been a process that refines itself each time I come and Brenda assists me in the journey of uncoiling. But more valuable to me is the manner in which Brenda gently arouses in me an inherent self trust that is yearning to be embraced more fully.” – Jen – regular client

“Kahuna is more than just massage, it is a wonderful way to shift energy within, while finding a sense of peace and relaxation. Being in the early stages of my healing through Kahuna, I can already appreciate the depth of healing that takes place without even realising it is happening. It is a beautiful experience, and Brenda has the natural magic that makes the healing space so beautiful and sacred.”- Laura (2011)   
“Kahuna massages with Brenda have helped me release so many caught up emotions. I feel lighter, more energised and stronger.” Laura(2016)   

“Experiencing regular massages and healing in your care, Brenda, is one of the most precious and effective gifts that I have ever given to myself. My regular visits are therapy, “church”, physical relief, comfort, hope all wrapped into one. It’s hard to explain how deep and meaningful and joyful this massage-journey is. I appreciate every magical minute.” – CN – regular client, accountant and mother of two (2016)

“My therapist recommended I see Brenda for my PTSD, to try and release some patterns that were stuck in both my thinking and my body. From the first time I met Brenda, I knew I was completely safe and could trust her. She was able to tailor the sessions directly to my needs and comfort level. I feel completely nurtured and safe throughout each session I have with her. She is incredibly patient and easy to communicate with. She never lets me leave till I feel balanced and integrated. The results of her work are astounding. She is so intuitive and is able to sense exactly what I need and where I am at each week. I have been separated from my body for over 40 years and through Brenda’s work I have been able to make friends with my body and be aware of my boundaries. I have had severe PTSD for most of my life and have lived in fear, trapped my past memories. With each session, I have been able to release deep seated fears, grief, anger and sadness – emotions that I have buried for years. With Brenda, I feel safe enough to bring them to the surface knowing that she is there to nurture me and help me heal. She is the most non-judgmental, gracious, generous and sweetest practitioner I have ever worked with. I can’t recommend her enough. She is uniquely gifted and I am so thankful to have her in my life.” – L.S.

“Kahuna massages with Brenda, are wonderful on many levels.
Brenda’s gentle massages allow for my body to relax; let go the tensions.
The soft beats of the music; the singing; the rhythmic motion of Brenda’s dance, the warm soothing air passing over ( and deep within me, bring an innate calmness to me. On occasions I have felt touched by something very spiritual as my eyes are closed I ‘see’ soft colors of pink or blue , green, mauve or yellows and orange. In these instances I come away having had a wonderful spiritual experience as well as a massage.
Brenda’s angel hands connect us lovingly to our source . For me this is the time I can experience relaxation ,love, connection.
Thank you Brenda for facilitating all this for me.”   ~ Shelley (2015. RIP)

“Brenda is a wonderful healer. Her Kahuna massages are not only blissful for the body, but they also help me to release any emotional stress that I walk into her room with. They are like a tonic for body-mind and soul!” – Donna McCullum – Fairy Godmother Inc (2012)

“Time with Brenda is re-energizing or maybe replenishing is a better word. My first Kahuna Massage was a treat to myself. Living on my own I was missing the sensation of touch and feeling stuck in my mental analysis of how to go forward in my life. I could not have picked a better treat. The Kahuna Massage felt gentle and so natural. I felt like I was on the tropical island of Hawaii, feeling a gentle breeze from the ocean as Brenda created a flow of air and then her magical rhythmical movements and beautiful choice of music and gentle voice combined with her powerfully healing touch transported me out of my head and into my body like floating on the waves of a warm, calm ocean. The more I worked with Brenda the more I could feel my body trusting her to bring it healing and more flexibility through her love infused touch. I too could allow my body and breath to help me to relax and release the tension of all my experiences, emotions and thinking that were keeping me stuck. It felt like I could process more and trust the flow to hold me as I moved forward. It became a treat I made a point of giving myself and it was one of the most difficult things to leave behind when I moved to Denmark. I long for those treats of Kahuna Massage and the powerful connection it and Brenda allowed me to make with my body and care for it. I felt held, respected, supported, indulged and accepted. It’s been impossible to replace and something I would love to be able to experience regularly again.” ~ CC – regular client (2016)

“A glorious experience which reaches deep into the soul, leaving one healed and exhilarated.” – Julie

“You have played a massive role in my healing journey, Brenda. I don’t know how to put it into words. The start of my healing began with you (5 years ago) and it has gone deeper and deeper and you’ve been the major facilitator in that. I am eternally grateful.” – Nicole – Bodytalk Practitioner and regular client (2017)

“I totally believe that nothing happens for nothing and I’ve learnt to trust the people that cross my path. I was advised to go and see/meet Brenda by my homeopath who said an appointment with Brenda was a spiritual gift ! I didn’t realise how very much my surrogacy journey needed Brenda, I’m so very grateful to have found her and have had her guide me through my experience of carrying another woman’s child. I co-incidentally met Brenda on the very day the embryos had been transferred and what started as an exquisite massage/silent therapy transformed as the time went on and the pregnancy ended in the exquisite birth of a perfect girl. Brenda helped my body and mind understand the process far more than I could ever have articulated.  I experienced a deep grief at the ‘loss’ of the baby and Brenda gently and so incredibly beautifully helped me through that. I would most certainly be seeing Brenda on an ongoing basis were she still in South Africa, I’m not sure I’ll ever find a replacement, but I wish Brenda nothing but the most wonderful of life’s offerings….” Danielle – Chef, mother of two and regular client (2016)

“Years ago I had a Kahuna experience that left me cold and fearful and disappointed about trying new massage-type experiences.  Luckily my beautiful friend Brenda became a Kahuna facilitator, and she introduced me to the magic of this ancient form of massage.A gentle, warm, and nurturing space was created by her.  I didn’t have to share much about why I was there, other than the fact that I felt stressed and uptight.She asked me to strip down to my underpants and lie face down on her massage bed.  She left me a soft sarong to cover myself with. Quietly she entered the room, turned on the music, and I was very quickly spirited away to beautiful vistas and kind words as she gently and rhythmically erased the knots, bumps, lumps, and anxiety from my body.  I experienced joy and tears as I let go of what was locked up in my body, and at the end of the 90 mins, I felt as though I could float our of her space. I was hooked on this magical form of therapy. Thank you Brenda for your kind, gentle, warm and loving kahuna attention over the past 5 or more years. I would happily recommend you and your gift.” Sam – Body Stress Release Practitioner (2017)

“Thanks for an awesome massage, always feel so much more relaxed afterwards….you have a special gift.” -Gail – Grandmother, Nia teacher and regular client

“Brenda, I feel phenomenal! My body feels amazing but I mentally feel myself again! I can’t even put into words how amazing and meaningful that session was. You have a true gift. Thank you for sharing it with me.” – Alie – LMT
