Frequently Asked Questions

 
 

Q. Is this course Government accredited?

A. Ka Huna training is a specialised sacred form of healing and bodywork that is as yet largely unrecognised by the traditional western medical model. Ka Huna training is not like certificate 4. It is much more. Our courses focus heavily on personal development and transformation to facilitate your healing skills as a practitioner.

To begin with you can go home after Ka Huna 1-2 and start massaging. If you want to make massage therapy a journey or new career, we advise that you obtain membership of a massage or allied health association so you can get insurance coverage, and study anatomy and physiology, but to do Ka Huna training, no requirements are needed. Just your wish to learn and grow.

Q. Can I start massaging after Ka Huna 1 & 2?

A. Yes you can. It is important to have membership of an association and indemnity insurance before massaging the public as this ensures your clients that you are professional and abide by ethical and respectful practices.

Q. Can I get Insurance?

A. As a Hawaiian Massage practitioner you are eligible to join the International Institute for Complementary Therapists on: www.iict.com.au.
Ph: 1300 653 981

You can also phone their insurer OAMPS on
(Ph: 1800 222 012). The iict have assured us that Ka Huna Massage is covered and that our students can gain membership and insurance. You may also try the National Federation of Healers on www.nfh.org.au
Ph: 07-34203399.

If you are already a member of a massage association, you can add Hawaiian massage to your list of skills. Remember that the major health funds will only pay claims for their clients for remedial massage.

Q. Will I get a certificate?

A. Yes, after completing 3 levels of the Hawaiian massage training you will be issued with a certificate and academic transcript noting your hours of training.

There are 3 further levels of training offered, whereby you can extend your skills and growth as a practitioner. You will also receive a certificate after level 5 and 6.

Q. Can I register with the Major Health Funds?

A. Since the introduction of the National Training Package system and the amalgamation of many of the massage associations, the criteria for Massage association membership and insurance has changed.

To obtain a provider number from most of the health insurance companies, the requirement is now a 2 year Diploma of Remedial Massage.
