Soul-Centered Bodywork

Therapeutic Bodywork and Massage for Women

333 King St
Newtown, NSW 2042

I’ve been practicing massage and bodywork for over 10 years, offering a tailored blend of techniques to meet your unique needs. My primary approach weaves together Ka Huna and Lomi Lomi — intuitive, heart-centred Hawaiian styles rooted in the Huna philosophy — alongside Remedial massage, abdominal work, and elements of cranio-sacral therapy (currently in training).

These sessions combine deep tissue release and therapeutic presence within a safe, nurturing space. Warm oil is applied with rhythmic strokes using hands, forearms, and elbows; the body is kneaded, rocked, stretched, and held in a flowing rhythm that soothes the nervous system and facilitates deep relaxation, emotional healing and nervous system regulation

Ka Huna & Lomi Lomi aim to awaken body consciousness and dissolve trapped emotions or memories held in the tissues, allowing natural energy to move freely. Whether you’re navigating transition or seeking to reconnect with yourself, my intention is to support a deeply restorative and transformative experience. Each session is a return to presence, softness, and the wisdom of your body

I received the most blissful and healing Ka Huna massage from Darinka. I loved every minute of it. Her technique was superb. She was able to release the muscle spasm I had in my back, which was a great relief. She also used hot stones and energy work that gave this extra special flavor to the experience.

I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! – Gosia

“Darinka – thank you so much!!! Your massage was fantastic and cleared out whatever was ailing me. I went home feeling better already and was able to have a good nights sleep” – Jess

Darinka was recommended to me by the Sydney Kahuna Centre as they were closing down back in 2019 as a trusted therapist. I had been introduced to the gentle yet powerful healing benefits of the kahuna / lomi lomi techniques the year before and Darinka did not disappoint. Her confidence as a bodyworker is beautiful allowing deep healing and release and restoring a wonderful heart-connection.

I love all the oil used to bring about softness and a sense of surrender and the beautiful ending where Darinka places both hands on top of the heart and you feel your powerful heart beating, remembering that love is what matters most ❤– Victoria
