🌬️ The Winter Season & Ayurvedic Massage: A Note from Maria 🌿

As your Ayurvedic massage therapist at Held, I've noticed how winter deeply affects our Vata dosha - that subtle energy of air and space within us. You might be experiencing it too: drier skin, scattered thoughts, or a deep yearning for rest.

This is why Abhyanga massage is so powerful right now. Using specially selected warm oils and flowing, dance-like movements, we guide excess Vata energy from your system, helping release tension, anxiety, and muscle soreness.

What makes our sessions sessions unique? The integration of gentle harmonies that I weave throughout your treatment. This combination of therapeutic touch and soothing sound creates a cocoon of warmth that helps you feel completely held and nourished. Our warm oils are specifically chosen to combat winter's drying effects, enhancing circulation and bringing suppleness back to your joints.

For optimal winter support, consider monthly or bi-monthly sessions - it's preventive medicine for both body and spirit. Each session offers a sacred pause, a moment to restore and reconnect with your inner wisdom. 🕊️

Book your session with Makoto, or inquire about adding massage to your retreat program at Held! 💫
