Touch Kauai-Lomi Lomi Massage

Katharina is an incredible healer and human being. The ambiance was accepting, comforting, and a home for my soul. I can't wait to come back to see her. Her healing practice is exactly what I needed. Mahalo!

Our couples massage with Katharina and Enrico was one of the highlights of our trip! Their positive energy and the care they've taken with the details in their space, all combine amazingly with their expertise in techniques and flow to create a perfect experience. As a massage therapist, I'd highly recommend a session with either of them.

Traveling to Kauai alone, and for the purpose of self-reflection and growth was a new and somewhat nerve-racking leap of faith for me. I cannot express how much that leap of faith was rewarded over and over during an absolutely life-changing 6 days with Katharina and Enrico. Not only did I get to experience the natural magic of Kauai in a deeply emotional and spiritual way-- hiking, swimming and exploring-- but the personal growth, love, trust and sheer awe at the universe both around and within myself was nothing short of life changing.

I consider myself very scientifically minded, very rationalist. and someone skeptical toward the more "spiritual" or "mystical" connections of life. However, I can say with all sincerity that this guided trip with the lovely K & E opened me to a new and wonderful universe. The experiences in guided meditation, massage, hiking, and simply talking are moments I will continue to remember, and are tools I treasure and utilize in my daily life.

This was the greatest gift from them (and from myself!) and it is utterly priceless. I wish everyone I know and love could experience the same, and I wish these two delightfully kind, positive people every happiness and success. Thank you both SO much! MAHALO!

I recently moved to Kauai. Within a week of living here, I had a healing massage by Katharina. It is one of the best massages I've ever had. Much more than a massage, it was in essence, an incredible healing & initiation to the island (in her words). My shoulder was knotted up on & off these last few months. It started to melt & restore itself within hours of the massage.

The day after, I can still feel the healing continue. She started & ended the massage with beautiful flute playing as Hawaiian chants played throughout the session. I am a healer myself & it was meaningful to allow someone else to nurture me. I'm touched by Katharina's kindness, deep respect & connection to the Hawaiian culture. I intend to grow similar roots here. I highly recommend Touch Kauai for a healing & restorative experience with compassion & skill in the Hawaiian tradition.

I wanted to share my wonderful experience of having a Lomi Lomi massage with Katarina. Not only is she an amazing therapist, she is very intuitive as well encompassing the whole spiritual side of a traditional Lomi Lomi massage. You cannot leave Hawaii without experiencing the gifted hands of Katarina. Mahalo!

Sometimes you make a leap of faith in booking treatments from afar. Yelp helps but there are sometimes feelings you get that lead you to a choice and you hope it will work out. I hoped to book a couple's massage in the Atrium. I booked via email (my preference) which perhaps took a bit more effort but ended so well! The Atrium was not available for the date requested so we opted for two back to back Lomi-Lomi massages in our Hotel room. Katharina coordinated all and Koi (sp?) was an amazingly intuitive and talented practitioner. The treatments were terrific and totally worth any and all effort! I would definitely book again!

In all the many visits I have made to Hawaii over the past 30 years, I have never been touched by the spirit of Hawaii as I am in the presence of Katharina. She has in incredible respect for the Hawaiian traditions and her knowledge and understanding of the Aloha spirit touches my heart and soul. From the moment I enter her atrium, I feel connected to the magic of the island of KaIuai.

There are many gifted healers on Kauai, but Katharina's healing touch and tender spirit are not to be missed. I go there a few times a year and always begin my time on the island with her magical massage. Bonnie Bhatti PhD LICSW psychotherapist Kirkland, Washington

My husband and I went their for couple's massages and were so pleased with the massages and Katharina, that we felt almost drawn to return just two days later. However, instead of couple's massages, we opted to spend the whole day with her. We spoke at length with Katharina so she could get a feel for what we wanted and expected from our day and this is what happened: We arrived in the morning and were each given a fresh lei and a small gift (don't want to tell you what it was and spoil the surprise).

We then went over our expectations for the day and then she led us in a yoga session. We've done yoga before (at our gym) but this was much better as she was really intent on teaching us how to properly breathe and open up our chests for certain moves. While we were rolling up the yoga mats she left to make us freshly juiced pineapple juice - -yum!

We strolled along the outside patio, looking at the beautiful trees and flowers, while we leisurely drank our juice. Next, we got into her vehicle and she drove us to a nearby rainforest where she led us on a jungle hike. As this day was all about us, we were free to hike at our own pace, see what we wanted to see, stop and take pics whenever we chose, and we got to decide when to stop for a swim and eat lunch (which she provided, along with water).

We had a wonderful chat while we ate lunch. She is intuitive and very easy to talk to. Afterward we returned to her studio, took a shower and got ready for our final treat of the day. I received a crystal healing session and then my husband received a massage from her. Finally, she had some more words of wisdom for us and presented us each with a final gift (again, I won't spoil it and tell you what it is).

I don't know when/if we will be returning to Kauai, but if we do, there is no doubt that we will make sure to visit Katharina again. Even before our first massages, my husband stated that he would have been happy just sitting in her studio and staring out of her atrium as it was the most peaceful room he had ever been in.

I spend considerable time on Kauai and have enjoyed many high-quality massages from Touch Kauai. Instead of a generic massage that I can have anywhere, I appreciate the connection to Hawaiian culture embodied in the Lomi Lomi method, along with other modalities that are integrated into the experience. All of my massages were from Katharina, who works with skill, sensitivity, and Aloha.
