Teaching children
MISA (Massage International School Association) has developed a massage program suitable for children for a healthy and nourishing touch. Children learn to massage each other on clothes, back, arms, neck and head. No adult massages the children. All in respect, listening to oneself and the other, and the expression of each other’s needs. This is a six-week program that includes a 30-minute session every week. Annie teaches in different schools and encourages students to change partners to discover different ways to give and receive massage, based on the need to be recognized and touched.
Here are some benefits noted during the program:
- Moments of relaxation and increased calmness in the classroom which helps to manage emotions
- Healthy living habits,
- Reduced stress,
- Promotes self-confidence,
- Peaceful behavior,
- Better relationships between children, with the teacher and between family members,
- Develops listening,
- Better concentration and centering,
- Oxytocin hormone (produced by both the giver and the receiver); love, attachment, security, curiosity,
- The child’s participation in this activity, integrated into the routine at the start of the day, for example, motivates him\her not to be late for school, and to persevere in learning …
So much sweetness they also bring home !! Annie adds a last meeting (a seventh session) where the child invites a guest, a family member: parent, grandparent, big brother or big sister. The child massages the guest, and then the guest massages the child. Wow what a moment of happiness that can be repeated as often as they want !

Huna Massage Training
One translation for the word “Huna” is hidden or secret knowledge. It is this hidden or secret knowledge which is the “magic” of Huna. This “magic” is what makes Huna so special for those who have experienced this unique massage style.
Huna massage is a very nurturing style of bodywork which primarily uses forearms, hands and elbows to flow. The flow is created by a special footwork that is described as a dance around the table. This dance, which varies in speed and pressure, creates rhythmical wave-like movements under and over the body allowing it to open and heal. The inner rhythm within the body allows the person to find physical, emotional and mental balance. This is achieved in a beautiful, nurturing, flowing way with intuition, focus and the use of the breath. It is a very intuitive style of massage which allows people to expand their level of awareness as they learn to flow through life.
However, Huna is more than just a great style of massage; it is a way of life. When you learn Huna massage and you practice it regularly, the flow of the massage ignites a spark deep within and you experience a change in yourself and your life.
You also experience a change in your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. A subtle but powerful shift, this is what Huna is all about. When you come into balance you learn to flow with life, you find your own personal power and learn to stand in it.
Finding this balance and your personal power are not something you learn or are taught exactly. It is something that comes naturally as you go through the stages of learning this massage. It is the flow of the massage which opens the door for you gently and easily. The flow of this massage creates a beautiful unfolding of petals one by one until the heart of the flower opens up to the sun.
Different Modules
Huna massage is very easy to learn and is as beautiful to give as it is to receive.
There are seven modules which complete the Huna training.
Module 1
Module 1 is a two day workshop introducing the basic arm and foot techniques which create the flow of the massage. The techniques you learn here are the building blocks which you will add onto throughout the other 6 modules. You will also be introduced to the seven principles of Huna.
Module 2
Module 2 is a two day workshop which introduces more advanced techniques to enable you to flow more freely over a greater area of the body. We talk about The Four Worlds and we do Pregnancy massage Huna style.
Module 3
Module 3 is a two and a half day workshop which introduces heart breath. We start to feel and sense energy in and around the body and learn hand techniques to “get into” tight muscle areas of the physical body. We also look at body reading.
Module 4
Module 4 is a two day workshop which introduces emotional release techniques. You will learn which signs to look for and how to assist someone with a release, (as opposed to “make” someone have a release). We also go over and fine tune the techniques from the 3 previous modules and we do some polarity balancing.
Module 5, 6 & 7
Module 5, 6 & 7 are incorporated into a live-in retreat where you get to focus on “yourself”. We cover a lot of things in the 5 days including sound healing using voice (toning) and instruments (drums, bells, bowls, etc.), healing through colors, chakras, crystals and hot rocks, meditation, seeing the aura, energy exercises, expanding our level of awareness, our three mind’s, food consciousness and awareness, and whatever else comes up. We sing, we dance, we drum and generally have a real good time. It is always a fantastic week which I can promise you will never forget!
