About The Tao Within Massage
The Tao Within Massage, located on a mango farm, offers a peaceful and relaxing experience. The business is owned by Heather, who is known for her kind and skilled deep tissue massages. She takes the time to tailor each massage to her clients' needs and preferences, using local organic macadamia nut oil or CBD oil. The studio's tranquil setting allows for a private and serene experience, with the opportunity to enjoy the sounds of nature during your massage. Clients have described their experiences as some of the best they've ever had, and have even had the chance to enjoy a soak in a cedar soaking tub on the property. Both individuals and groups, including teenagers, have had positive experiences with Heather's massages. It is highly recommended to book a massage with Heather during your visit to The Big Island.
Before leaving Kona and the Big Island, I felt drawn to deepen the sense of peace I’d found here while working on my novel. By chance, I came across Heather's studio online in a map of the Kealakekua Bay area and decided to pair my massage with an outing to Manini Beach. There, I took a moment to honor this sacred place of healing as the Hawaiian people do—by giving thanks for life’s abundance and meditating on its blessings.

Before leaving Kona and the Big Island, I felt drawn to deepen the sense of peace I'd found here while working on my novel. By chance, I came across Heather's studio online in a map of the Kealakekua Bay area and decided to pair my massage with an outing to Manini Beach. There, I took a moment to honor this sacred place of healing as the Hawaiian people do--by giving thanks for life's abundance and meditating on its blessings. With this backdrop, centered and prepared by the meditation, I made the short drive to Heather's studio. The massage was exactly what I needed to close my stay, as I surrendered to Heather's skilled touch. Her deep, soothing strokes and gentle body adjustments revealed her true mastery, while our conversation, when it arose, was as grounding and sensitive as the massage itself. By the end of the hour, I felt wholly present in both spirit and body--an experience of the Tao within the Massage that has lingered, even now nearly a week later, as I prepare to leave Hawaii for the mainland. Mahalo nui, Heather!
I was staying at Heather's Airbnb (which I would give 10 stars to if I could), and was able to use the cedar soaking tub on the property. It was absolutely LOVELY!! Heather was super sweet and we chatted for a few minutes, and she set up the tub with a towel, some flowers, a glass of water, and a Bluetooth speaker for me to connect to so I could play music. I used the hot tub in the evening and it was so peaceful listening to the birds & the bugs in the dark, in the middle of the jungle, and I even had three sweet kitties join me. It was very private and relaxing, and if I had had time to get a massage from her I would have done that as well!
