An Indian Head Massage starts with a beautiful oiled massaged using essential oils on the upper back, shoulders, neck and upper arms. I then use oils on the scalp to gently work into the hair and all over the scalp hitting acupressure points which allow for relief of headaches, muscle aches, and eye strain. This allows you to relax fully. I then will get you to turn over onto your back where I gently massage points on your face and continue working the front of the head using the same techniques I used on the back of your head and scalp. When done your hair has had a beautiful oil treatment. I recommend leaving the oil in your hair for 24 hours if able as this will help your hair be soft and smooth. If unable it is ok.
If this treatment sounds divine and just what you need to de stress and realign your body and mind then book your session today by DM πŸ’ž

Swedish massage, also known as classic massage, is a popular form of therapeutic massage that originated in Sweden. It involves the use of various techniques to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. Here are some benefits commonly associated with Swedish massage.

Relaxation: Swedish massage is known for its ability to induce deep relaxation. The techniques used, such as long, gliding strokes and kneading, help to calm the nervous system and release physical and mental tension.
Stress reduction: The soothing nature of Swedish massage can significantly reduce stress levels. It stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural mood-boosting chemicals in the body, helping to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of well-being.
Pain relief: Swedish massage can be effective in providing sensory input that relieves the feelings of muscular tension. The techniques applied to the muscles help to increase blood flow, and improve feelings of relaxation, which can lead to pain relief.
Improved circulation: The long, flowing strokes used in Swedish massage help to increase blood circulation throughout the body. This enhanced circulation promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs while aiding in the removal of waste products from the tissues.
Increased flexibility and range of motion: By targeting the muscles and connective tissues, Swedish massage can improve flexibility and enhance joint mobility. The techniques used, such as stretching and kneading, can help to release tension and improve muscle elasticity.
Detoxification: The increased circulation and lymphatic flow stimulated by Swedish massage can facilitate the removal of toxins from the body. This can help to improve overall health and promote a sense of rejuvenation.
Enhanced immune function: Studies have suggested that Swedish massage can boost the immune system by increasing the activity of white blood cells and promoting lymphatic flow.
Improved sleep quality: Swedish massage promotes relaxation and reduces stress, which can contribute to better sleep. It can help regulate sleep patterns, improve sleep quality, and alleviate sleep disorders.

​ I am AnnaMarie, owner and operator of Lotus Alternatives located in Hanover ON. I am a Reiki Master Usui/ Holy Fire Reiki Practitioner and a Certified Indian Head Massage Practitioner and student. I am presently working on my certification to become Registered with the Reflexology Association Canada. I am affiliated with Aromatica and Danu Wellness for all training

How did I choose these modalities? I didn’t, it chose me. As a RPN with 21 years experience, it was time to venture into a new realm and help others naturally heal themselves. Because of my experience, I am knowledgeable in Anatomy and Physiology as well as disease and disease process. I provide a relaxing atmosphere by using Essential oils, relaxing music and crystals in the sessions which allows you to de-stress. When your body's chakras are balanced, and you have allowed yourself to de-stress, your energy flows more freely thus allowing the body to heal itself.

Stay tuned to my page as I will be working on bring more modalities to Lotus Alternatives to better serve you and your needs.
