About
Rooted in the timeless principles of Ayurvedic medicine, Indian Head Massage is a profoundly restorative therapy that has been practised in India for over a thousand years. This deeply calming treatment focuses on the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp, and face—areas most prone to holding tension and stress in modern life.
Whether you are seeking physical relief, emotional release, or simply time to unwind, Indian Head Massage offers a holistic experience that nourishes both body and mind.
In Ayurveda—the ancient Indian system of natural healing—the head is considered the most important energy centre of the body. This therapy seeks to balance the body’s energy channels, or nadis, by stimulating pressure points known as marmas. Using a combination of soothing strokes, kneading, and gentle pressure, Indian Head Massage helps restore harmony throughout the system.
You will be seated comfortably and asked to remove your top layer of clothing so that the upper back and shoulders are bare to the shoulders. A towel or wrap is always provided for modesty and comfort. The treatment begins with flowing massage movements across the shoulders and upper arms to ease muscle tightness, followed by focused work on the neck, scalp, and face. Warm oils may be used on request to enhance relaxation and promote healthy hair and skin.
Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes, but can also be integrated into longer treatments if desired.
