Ayurvedic Massage
Ayurveda is a 4000 year old philosophy of health with its roots in India, and it encompasses massage as a wellness treatment. In Ayurvedic philosophy we each have an individual constitution or ‘dosha’ which is with us from birth and can become unbalanced due to internal or external factors such as stress. Ayurvedic massage aims to address imbalances and bring us back into harmony. A treatment begins with a consultation to establish your dosha and any current imbalances. Techniques and oils are then selected accordingly. The oil is gently warmed and Marma points (vital points) are massaged to release blocks and encourage energy flow.
