Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, is a healing art based on the principles of Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient system and philosophy of natural healthcare originating in the vedic culture of India. The word Ayurveda, Sanskrit in origin, roughly translates as "knowledge of life" or "wisdom for living". Beyond treating physical dysfunction, or illness, Ayurveda seeks to maintain and restore physical, emotional, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is the oldest continuously practiced system of medicine on the planet.

This massage practice focuses on the head, face, neck, shoulders and upper arms. A firm but gentle pressure is used to rhythmically stimulate pressure points releasing blockages and relieving tension and pain.

During the treatment, you will remain fully clothed in a seated postion. Various massage techniques will be applied without the use of oils.
