Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage has its roots in the ancient healing practice of Ayurveda. The technique I practice was initially developed by Narendra Mehta and focuses on more than just the head. The upper back, shoulders, chest, face and scalp are also included to create a more supportive, holistic and heart-centered experience.
​
Indian Head Massage offers support beyond the physical body, nurturing the mind and spirit just as much as the muscles and tissues being worked. By working with the upper chakras, this treatment can help ease stress and tension, encourage detoxification, improve mental clarity and support energetic balance.
​
The slow-paced treatment focuses on Marma points, which in Ayurvedic practice are considered important energy points that help support balance throughout the body. Through intentional touch, built-up tension and stagnant energy can be encouraged to release, creating space for greater ease and flow.

What to expect for your session
Indian Head Massage is designed to be a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. This treatment includes the upper back, shoulders, chest, neck, scalp, and face, with warm oil used throughout the session.
Because these areas need to be accessed comfortably, you will be invited to undress to your comfort level in privacy while I step out of the room, and you will remain fully covered with a sheet and blanket throughout your treatment, with only the area being worked on exposed as needed.
As oil is used throughout the session, please avoid wearing necklaces and consider removing earrings or facial jewelry if you prefer they not come into contact with oil. Please also plan accordingly, as oil will remain in your hair after your session.
Your comfort, communication, and overall experience are always honoured throughout your session.
