I get asked a lot why I don’t call my head-focused treatments Indian head massages, here’s why 👇
I trained in Indian head massage at Level 3, spending months studying its techniques and ancient Ayurvedic lineage. I take inspiration from this work and have a deep respect for its heritage and for practitioners who continue to offer it in its traditional form, so it only feels right that I wouldn’t use the name unless it truly reflects what I’m offering.
After working closely with my clients, I curated the Crown Reset based on your needs, your experiences, and my own way of working, to create something for deep relaxation and emotional support — a space where you can properly drop in and switch off.
So if you’re after a traditional Indian head massage, I might not be your girl. 🤷♀️
If you’re looking for a more traditional Ayurvedic-style approach, there are some incredible local practitioners who honour that lineage beautifully — and that might be more what you’re after.
BUT if you’re open to something a little different, here’s how Crown Reset compares:
🪷 Positioning & Set-up
Traditional = Often seated/upright - sometimes laid
Crown Reset = always lying down, warm, cocooned, heated eye mask + blankets, heated bed and fully switched off
✋ Techniques & Focus
Traditional = kneeding, circular movements, tapping, acupressure, neck & shoulders (sometimes upper back)
Crown Reset = inspired by these foundations, blended with slower holds, nervous system-focused touch, fascia release + full upper body work (back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest)
🌸 Experience
Traditional = deeply relaxing and grounding through structured, rhythmic touch
Crown Reset = deeply relaxing but more sensory-led, focusing on nervous system softening and emotional support
🫧 Oils & Products
Traditional = mustard/sesame/coconut oils depending on lineage
Crown Reset = rosemary-led or oil free, gentle, inclusive, allergy-conscious
🪄 Tools & Touch
Traditional = mostly hands only
Crown Reset = hands + tools for varied sensations and depth
✨ Little extras
Cleanse, tone, serum + facial massage — because your face deserves care too 🤍
I often get told it’s unlike any other scalp treatment women have experienced… and that’s because it isn’t trying to be one. Just something different — not better, not a replacement, just intentionally created to offer a different kind of experience 💆♀️😴
