“Absolutely life-changing 6 days”
Traveling to Kauai alone, and for the purpose of self-reflection and growth was a new and somewhat nerve-racking leap of faith for me. I cannot express how much that leap of faith was rewarded over and over during an absolutely life-changing 6 days with Katharina and Enrico. Not only did I get to experience the natural magic of Kauai in a deeply emotional and spiritual way– hiking, swimming and exploring– but the personal growth, love, trust and sheer awe at the universe both around and within myself was nothing short of life changing. I consider myself very scientifically minded, very rationalist… and someone skeptical toward the more “spiritual” or “mystical” connections of life. However, I can say with all sincerity that this guided trip with the lovely K & E opened me to a new and wonderful universe. The experiences in guided meditation, massage, hiking, and simply talking are moments I will continue to remember, and are tools I treasure and utilize in my daily life. This was the greatest gift from them (and from myself!) and it is utterly priceless. I wish everyone I know and love could experience the same, and I wish these two delightfully kind, positive people every happiness and success. Thank you both SO much!! MAHALO!”
— Chad McPhail, L.A., CA“One of the most fantastic days of my trip and of my life.”
“Katharina’s Tours are truly life changing. Her guidance and intuitive wisdom lead me to open and connect with the spiritual energy of the land that is so profoundly powerful in Hawaii. Katharina is immensely knowledgeable and very well versed in Hawaiian history and traditions. To be able to experience the energy and the beauty of the waterfall up close … a place I would never have found or had the courage to go, without taking a tour with Katharina, was one of the most fantastic days of my trip and of my life.”
— Nancy Peel, Toronto Ontario, Canada“Best Massage EVER!!! Katharina and her husband, Enrico, live their work!
Best Massage EVER!!! Katharina and her husband, Enrico, live their work! My husband and I felt an immediate connection to the two of them. We decided to have the Lomi Lomi couples massage all 3 days. What a great experience! Mind, body and soul are all treated. You will love this couple and the great services they provide. We will definitely be back!”
— S., Washington“Katharina and Enrico are genuinely caring spiritual teachers”
“For anyone that is reading this review, then trust that your spirit has already led you to Katharina and Enrico. Be honest, be open, and be willing to work. Trust that they will know intuitively where to take you and what to do to heal your body and spirit. Katharina and Enrico are genuinely caring spiritual teachers that are both very present and confident in the work that they do. I look forward to the opportunity to work with both of them again.”
— Courtney Nyhuis, Australia"Katharina is a stunning catalyst for connection to who you really are”
"Katharina is a stunning catalyst for connection to who you really are. She held the door open, with her presence and wisdom, for my spirit to step through. If you want to really re-member who you are, spend time with her."
Also, I want to say "Katharina is an incredible massage therapist, and yet is so much more. She is a full-on healer. She truly works with the depths of the soul and spirit through her magical hands and intuitive gift."
“Enrico is a Magical Healer!”
“Magical Healer! Enrico is amazing.”

— Chad McPhail, L.A., CA“The experience with you was life changing”
I was able to experience Kauai in a way that I never could have encountered on my own. Your ability to pull together the physical place, with the emotional content of my life and the spiritual significance of love that is available in the world for me was amazing. The time on Kauai was about me feeling my own lovability from the inside out, something I’ve struggled with in my life. The experience with you was life changing. Thank you.”
— Martha Bird, MN“The results were beyond any expectations and truly amazing!”
“In only 15 minutes, in our very first conversation, you were right on the point that I was looking for, for the last 5 years! This encouraged me to trust you and to work with you on the important decisions regarding our company — the results were beyond any expectations and truly amazing, mahalo!”
— Dr. Bob Lamb, founder and CEO of IDEA – Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy, San Francisco“Without a doubt the two best massage therapists we have ever experienced”
“Best Massage in Kauai! We have been coming to Kauai for 20 years now and have been clients of Touch Kauai for the past six or seven years. Katharina and Enrico are without a doubt the two best massage therapists we have ever experienced. Both are inundated with a love of the island and the Aloha spirit. We schedule five or six massages each time we arrive and it has become an essential cornerstone of the annual visit, so much so that we change the dates of our visit if they are not going to be on the island for any reason. They are incredibly talented and we couldn’t imagine our vacation without them. Do not miss this experience.”

— Guest from Washington“Our couples massage with Katharina and Enrico was one of the highlights of our trip!”
“Our couples massage with Katharina and Enrico was one of the highlights of our trip! Their positive energy and the care they've taken with the details in their space, all combine amazingly with their expertise in techniques and flow to create a perfect experience. As a massage therapist, I'd highly recommend a session with either of them.”
— Guest from Colorado“WOW Enrico, I am so impressed and I’ve had MANY, many massage experiences world wide”
“WOW. This massage was amazing! Enrico did exactly what I discussed with him ahead of time. Super smooth. He did some things I’ve never experienced… arms over, etc. I am so impressed and I’ve had MANY, many massage experiences world wide. Thank you so much Enrico.”
— Jade Arbelo“Excellent massage, very intuitive”
“Excellent massage, deep, strong, everything attended to, very intuitive. Thank you so much Enrico.”
— Peggy Figuera, HI“I feel God’s energy working through her hands”
“Receiving Katharina’s massage, I’m taken back to another time. One where sacredness and respect for spirit and ancestral blessings is the way. I feel God’s energy working through her hands. The feeling is divine, the experience is divine, Katharina is divine. I now have a deeper respect for ancient Hawaii and a stronger yearning to find out more about it.”
— Greg Robbison, HI“This was the best anniversary present we could have had”
“Namaste, thank you so much for the wonderful day! This was the best anniversary present we could have had. The Tour and pools were magical and the massage was the perfect ending!”
— Heather and Eric Pilmanis“Ken's and my hike with Enrico was spectacular”
“Ken's and my hike with Enrico was spectacular. It was so special and I still am remembering things I learned.It was not just a hike into a sacred valley along a stream with pools to cool off in. We learned of the spirit of Kauai, about some of its plants and mountains. And we discovered things about ourselves and shared life experiences. It was perfect!
— Kathy and Ken Mack, CA“Truly a magical experience! We treasure the memories of our day with you forever”
“The time we spent with you was truly a magical experience! One that we will always remember. Your ability to seek out and understand the mystery we were seeking is a true gift. Taking us along offbeaten paths to the waterfalls we requested enabled us to fully experience the beauty and the spiritual essence of Kauai. We treasure the memories of our day with you forever.”
— Ellen and Rob, CT“I could ‘see’ the magic of Kaua’i – in a river, a waterfall, jungle, stone and tree”
“When I first landed in Kaua’i, I immediately felt something that I could only describe as ‘magic’, something powerful and connected to a deep part of me that I couldn’t explain. A few days later I met Katharina and decided to take one of her guided tours. Through her gentle direction and fun techniques I soon was able to discover ways I could ‘see’ more clearly the magic of Kaua’i – in a river, a waterfall, jungle, stone and tree. I will always be grateful to her for showing me those special places, both in the nature of this garden island and in me. I have much more to learn and plan to return and follow her again.”
— Paul Cruickshanks, Montpelier, VT“An extremely pleasant and dependable companion with whom to share outdoor adventures and discoveries on Kauai.”
“I spent a day with Katharina on an all-day hike exploring the cliffs above Nu’alolo Valley and Awa-‘awapuhi Valley. It was a truly beautiful experience. She not only had an intimate knowledge of the geography, but she also was able to adapt easily to my hiking speed and my desire to converse as we walked or to just have silence from time to time to take in the magnificent views and breathe the magical fresh air. The hike was fairly strenuous, and she allowed me to take as much time as I desired or to push ahead in some spots of the trail. I highly recommend her to anyone who wishes an extremely pleasant and dependable companion with whom to share outdoor adventures and discoveries on Kauai.”
— Doug Moorehead, CA“A wonderful, relaxing day that was fun for our whole family.”
“I loved how Katharina was so open to doing exactly what we wanted. She gave us various options throughout the day so our journey evolved as we went along. She led us in true Hawaiian style… appreciating the beauty and spirituality of each place we visited. She never rushed us, allowing us to inspect certain plants, take pictures and admire view along the way. I had a wonderful, relaxing day that was fun for our whole family.”
— Lydia Seing, OK“You could see something that we couldn't, and gently guided us in the direction our souls were already pointing to”
“Wow, it's absolutely incredible what has occurred in our life over the two weeks since we were with you. Our work with you opened up a doorway, first in our inner worlds and our relationship, and then very quickly in the world of manifestation. You could see something that we couldn't, and gently guided us in the direction our souls were already pointing to. Thank you!
— Burke Miller, MA“At the end of our day, the hole that was in my heart had been filled with Happy peace”
“Katharina is a gifted healer of the spirit and the body. At the end of our day, the hole that was in my heart had been filled with Happy peace and a sense of wisdom and bright excitement for the future.
I highly recommend Touch Kauai to everyone, as Katharina is a lovely person, and a healer of the highest order.”
“I experienced a deeper level of self love”
“Thanks for holding the space for me to experience a deeper level of self love, as reflected in the love and beauty of Kauai…and you!”
— Sue Berlie, Canada“She has brought a whole new awareness to my life”
“It has been a real pleasure to work with Katharina. She has brought a whole new awareness to my life and has restored a ton of confidence to me. I now feel totally confident that I can set goals for myself and achieve them. She has an extremely special way of assisting people to rediscover their inner light, and I feel hat I will remember this for the rest of my life. I know there are many people in this world that can benefit from her work. Thank you.”
— Dan Schweizer, Oregon“I now see past the ‘past’ and live in the now”
“I knew when I met you – magic would transpire. You have began my opening. I now see past the ‘past’ and live in the now. You are truly blessed.”
— Rebecca DeRoos, HI“You brought me in touch with such a wonderful feeling of joy and light – to be lived!”
“Mahalo Katharina, you brought me in touch with such a wonderful feeling of joy and light – welling up from deep inside me – to be lived! Aloha mahalo from the bottom of my heart!”
— Anne-Kristine, Sweden“Now I fully understand what it means to be one with the universe and God”
“Katharina is an extremely good listener and role model. I appreciate the way that she listened completely to me and let the day be about me and my work—perfecting myself. She taught me how to appreciate the littlest things in nature, like the spider web that she wouldn’t break. I learned that the little leaves, bark, and rocks are so connected to nature and to me. Now I fully understand what it means to be one with the universe and God.
I gained more courage by jumping into the cold water (which I definitely didn’t want to do) and hiking up the mountain. I learned that things may not be as hard as I think they are when I actually do them. Just like dipping into the cold water, I experienced that challenging things can be fun once you get started. Thanks to the retreat, I’ve learned that I have to do the challenging work to make my dreams real.

— Martha Bird, MN“I discovered an easy way to connect with qualities I don’t often feel”
“Absolutely wonderful experience. It is wonderful how you tap into a persons true essence and the experience ends up just what they need. I discovered an easy way to connect with qualities I don’t often feel. I can even do this at home after my trip.”
