About Karla
Karla is a healer and facilitator dedicated to supporting people through life transitions and transformations. Her extensive training in Ka Huna massage, Lomi Lomi, counselling and facilitation enable a truly holistic and integrative approach to healing and wellbeing.
A gentle soul with a courageous heart, Karla guides people with love and presence, drawing from her life experiences to bring healing and balance on every level; mind, body, spirit and soul. She understands many walks of life after working as an Advanced Care Paramedic throughout rural and remote regions of Queensland.
Balanced and grounded Karla holds a safe and sacred space for deep transformation and healing. Karla is both an empath and a warrior, she feels the pain of others, but blazes the way for rapid growth and healing. She has witnessed many human traumas and tragedies in her past experiences as a paramedic and chooses to use these felt experiences to better understand and empathise with her clients, or as she prefers to say, her people.
Kala in the Hawaiian philosophy means: there are no limits, be free. It is this secret of the ancient Ka Hunas that Karla wishes to pass on through her daily practice.

Did you know, that every time you choose to receive this nurturing massage you are also supporting a thriving ecosystem? Every dollar Karla receives enables her to continue the work of the Young Shaman Foundation. This foundation exists to connect people to Indigenous culture and to nature, to return to reverence and compassion.

Testimony
Karla has a truly sacred gift. Experiencing her massage took me on a journey which was both deeply embodied and powerfully other worldly. The way she held and danced around my body made me feel so safe and supported like I had stepped back into the arms of my mother, back to the womb. She creates a safe, nurturing, and honouring space for deep healing to occur supported by beautiful music and incredible sounding. Thank you so much for the oppotunity to come home to myself Karla! I was deeply moved and healed by our session together and highly recommend this medicine woman's healing hands.
