Where it began

A search for something I couldn't quite name.

I found my way to KaHuna Bodywork through a search for something I couldn't quite name — a way of being with people that went beyond words. That honoured the body as much as the mind. That made space for the parts of us that don't fit neatly into conversation.

[This is your space to share what first drew you to bodywork — a personal experience, a moment of realisation, a feeling you were searching for or found unexpectedly. Write it in your own words and I'll update this section for you.]

Who I am

Rooted in presence. Open to what emerges.

I'm Shelle Blyth — a bodywork practitioner, somatic coach and lifelong student of what it means to feel at home in yourself.

My practice is rooted in trauma-awareness, nervous system regulation and the simple but profound belief that touch is a fundamental human need. From the moment we arrive in the world, being held — being met — shapes how safe we feel in our own skin. That need doesn't disappear in adulthood. It just goes unmet more often.

I work from a place of deep respect for each person who walks through my door. I welcome people of all genders, sexualities, identities and life experiences. There is no version of you that is too much, too broken, or too complicated for this space.

The Work

Presence first. Always.

My training spans KaHuna Bodywork, Zen Thai Shiatsu, Polyvagal Informed Practice, somatic coaching and ongoing study in Sexological Bodywork and psychology. But training is only part of the story.

What I bring to sessions is presence — genuine, attuned, unhurried presence. I believe the body knows how to find its way back to ease when it feels truly safe. My role is to create those conditions and follow what emerges.

Sessions unfold differently for every person. Some people come for deep relaxation and nervous system rest. Others are navigating grief, identity, desire, disconnection or transition. Many arrive not quite knowing what they need — just a sense that something is calling them inward.

All of it is welcome here.

Why The Unfurling

Something that was held becomes free.

The name came from watching what happens in a session when someone truly lets go. There's a quality to it — like a leaf uncurling, or a breath finally released. Something that was held becomes free. Something hidden finds its way into the light.

The Unfurling is the rebirth of my Kahuna Bodywork practice — expanded to hold more of what I've learned, more of who I've become, and more of what my clients are asking for. It is still rooted in the same values: safety, presence, attunement and care. But it reaches further now — into coaching, education, ritual and the full landscape of the embodied self.

This is an ongoing becoming.
