Ayurvedic Treatments

Marma Massage
Marma massage is based on the concept of Marmas (The vital energy points of the body where life is concentrated). Marma massage helps to protect and energize these points and strengthens the muscles, joints and ligaments. This type of massage can be done regularly for the healthy as well as the diseased. It maintains the health by body rejuvenation and is excellent for relieving muscle pain, stress, arthritis, etc. This massage also improves your body flexibility and energy level.


Kalari Massage
In this massage the therapist balances their weight with the help of a rope that is attached to the ceiling and performs the massage with their feet. This massage is more suitable for people with strong muscular builds or who prefer a more athletic massage. Done the day before any form of strenuous or prolonged exercise, it will condition the body and help to prepare it for the coming exertion.

Shirodhara
'Shiro' meaning head and 'Dhara' meaning float.
An Ayurvedic therapy where warm oil, milk or medicated buttermilk is poured over the forehead in a continuous stream helping to clear and slow the mind. This therapy is very useful for persons suffering from mental stress and tension, sleeplessness, burning sensation of the head and body, giddiness, paralysis, and chronic fever. It gives a cooling effect for both head and body and is very nourishing.

Ayurvedic Head, Neck and Shoulder Massage
This massage is done with the client in a sitting position. Tension in the upper body leads to tension headaches, stiff and achy shoulders and neck, hampered nervous conductivity, and blood circulation to the head resulting in poor concentration and weak memory. By relaxing the shoulders and neck, we can give instant relief and improve people's well being.

Other Modalities Offered

Thai Yoga Massage
Thai yoga massage utilizes yogic stretching, breathing, and massage to open and balance the flow of energy throughout your body.
A Thai yoga massage session is performed while fully clothed on a comfortable padded mat positioned on the floor rather than on a massage table. You will experience deep relaxation, relief from muscle pain and tension as well as increased range of motion and flexibility.

Reiki
‘Reiki’ is a Japanese word meaning ‘universal’ (Rei) ‘energy’(Ki). The life force or ‘Ki’ needs to be balanced to ensure optimal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. A Reiki session utilizes subtle, calming energy work to help maintain the balance of the flow of energy throughout the body.


Hot Stone Massage
The use of heated Basalt stones soothes and comforts the body in this massage as the stones are placed in static positions all over the body. The stones are also used to perform the massage as the combination of the heat and hardness of the stones provides a penetrating massage that is also thoroughly restorative.

Prenatal Massage
