My name is Amalia Patourakis. I live 42° South on the wild island of Tasmania. I am a Naturopath and Ka Huna Bodyworker. I’m currently offering Ka Huna Bodywork/Massage. Please head to my SESSIONS & EVENTS page for upcoming dates. Full details below. I am not currently seeing Naturopathic clients.
naturelab42˚ is the platform I’ve created to explore the vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power of nature. It is an exploration of how we, as humans, can create individual and social change by taking loving responsibility for ourselves which has far reaching effects on our environment and greater community.
My box of tools includes herbal medicine, nutrition, flower essences, bodywork, creative arts and connection to nature as ways to inspire deeper understanding and embodiment of yourself. I make my own herbal extracts and massage oil blends. This provides me with a beautiful connection to the medicines I prescribe internally and use within my bodywork. I also organise yatras (pilgrimages) and nature retreats, connecting with country, self, and community – YATRA.
Currently offering Kahuna Massage/Bodywork
Kahuna practitioners provide a dynamic, energetic style with long flowing strokes over and under the body, applying traditional Hawaiian techniques for a very special form of healing for body and all that is connected beyond the physical. Sessions can be regular and/or are often provided during Rites of Passage or potent moments in one’s life. It is certainly more than just massage.
Costs: Sessions are $120 for 1 hour and $160 for 1.5hours. Longer sessions allow us time to go deeper into the body and are recommended. Hour sessions are offered mostly for those who’d like to try it for the first time, or if finances are a challenge.
Payments: can be made with cash or bank transfer. No eftpos facilities available.
Where: Sessions are offered inside the House of Prana wellness collective. Upstairs at 127 George Street, Launceston. House of Prana
Parking: There’s 3-hour metered parking outside the building, free parking further up George St, and 2 multi-story car parks only a 2-minute walk away. The lane directly opposite our front door leads to the back of the Elizabeth St car park which has free parking in the afternoons.
