So after a few years break, I find myself delving once again into the deliciously transcendental art of Indian Head Massage 💜. Feeling a calling to reintegrate it back into my practice and offerings, I'll now share a little information on this deeply restorative and nourishing healing modality. 💫

What is Indian Head Massage?

The foundations of Indian head massage can be traced back thousands of years to the venerable tradition of Ayurveda — a holistic system that emphasises balance and harmony between the body, mind, and spirit. In Ayurveda, the head is considered to be a vital energy centre, housing the crown chakra or "Sahasrara," which is believed to influence consciousness and spiritual connection.

Indian head massage involves a combination of massage techniques that are applied across the upper back, head, neck and shoulders. It can be done with or without oils. Techniques include kneading, tapping (stimulating nerve endings and awakening dormant energies), friction rubbing (small circular rubbing motions), compression with fingertips and stretching (upper back muscles and neck). It is carried out with the recipient comfortably seated and fully clothed but with bare shoulders (vest tops for women are ideal).

What are the benefits?

Indian head massage offers a multitude of physical and emotional benefits that make it a valuable healing practice. Supported by credible studies, this practice enhances blood circulation, which revitalises cells throughout the body. Other benefits are summarised as follows.

🌼 Stimulates hair growth from increased nourishment and supply of oxygen to hair follicles

🌼 Prevents headaches and migraines by releasing built-up tension and muscle stiffness in the head and neck area

🌼 Promotes inner peace and calm through balancing the three higher chakras - throat, third eye and crown

🌼 Alleviates symptoms of anxiety, depression, overwhelm and fatigue

🌼 Boosts memory capabilities and cognitive function by relieving stress and quietening the mind

🌼 Facilitates lymphatic drainage through increased circulation

🌼 Kneading and friction relax tense muscles in the head, neck and shoulders, providing tangible relief from tightness and pain.

🌼 Better sleep from facilitating deep relaxation and calm

🌼 Improves circulation of cerebral spinal fluid helping to reduce headache causing blockages

🌼 30 min Indian Head Massage for £15 🌼
(extended offer)

A few years ago, I trained and qualified in Indian Head Massage, inspired by the deeply relaxing, restorative (and almost transcendental!) effects of experiencing it myself from an exceptionally skilled practitioner.

Fast forward to now (post baby and house/county move) and with reflexology and reiki having been my main offerings, I am increasingly feeling the call to reintroduce this, ancient deeply relaxing and often overlooked, healing modality.

As with any learned skill, the absence of regular practice, can cause a degree of skill fade. The quality of the treatments I offer is important to me so I feel its only fair to charge full price when treatments are at a standard I would be happy to receive.

💫 I am therefore offering a 30 minute Indian head massage for £15 ~ for a limited period of time. 💫

For information on Indian Head Massage and the vast array of benefits it offers, please see my page.

If you are interested in having a treatment or have any questions, please pop me a message on here, or send a text / what's app to 07738 752700. 🌸

Blessings! 💜
