AYURVEDIC INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
If you’ve never experienced this, or aren’t quite sure what it involves, it’s truly worth exploring. It is so much more than a head massage and it benefits your entire body.  This seated session is very different than a typical massage, and is amazing for shoulder tension, neck tension, and headaches.
Originating in India over 1,000 years ago, Indian Head Massage is traditionally used to promote balance, circulation, clarity of mind, and overall wellbeing. It is designed to calm the nervous system, relieve tension, improve lymphatic flow, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
From the moment you arrive, your senses are nurtured with essential oils, soft lighting, warmth, relaxing music, and the gentle glow of candlelight. A custom blend of oils made in house is used on the hair to promote scalp and hair health, and gives your hair amazing nourishment. It includes ingredients like sweet almond oil, blackseed oil, pomegranate oil, rosemary oil, cedar oil, stinging nettle, and more.
Your upper back, neck, and shoulders are worked according to your comfort level. Deep pressure points and massage techniques release tension and melt away tightness.
The head follows, using traditional Ayurvedic techniques. This receives the most time. Alternating vigorous and gentle movements stimulate marma points (energy points) and meridians, encouraging energy flow throughout the body. Gentle hair pulling, friction movements, “shampoo” style fingertip massage, and rhythmic tapping are all part of the experience …and yes, it feels incredible.
We then move to the face as you lean into support and release the effort of holding your head. Key facial pressure points are activated, followed by a slow, soothing facial massage to encourage circulation and relaxation.
Lastly, we finish with the ears. Like the hands and feet, the ears contain reflex points connected to the entire body. A gentle bilateral ear massage often surprises clients with how deeply relaxing it feels.
Each session closes with an energy clearing, acknowledging that our health extends beyond the physical body.You leave feeling open, grounded, refreshed, and deeply relaxed.
Don’t hesitate to add this powerful ancient practice to your self-care routin
