Indian Head Massage – may help reduce stress, tension and fatigue
Indian Head Massage is a treatment based on old Ayurvedic techniques involving work on the shoulders, neck, scalp and face. A variety of massage and stretching techniques are used which are designed to relieve accumulated tension, stimulate circulation and restore joint mobility. Indian Head Massage may help reduce stress, tension and fatigue, increase mental clarity, and relax and rejuvenate the receiver.
Having completed an Aromareflex course I am also able to create a bespoke essential oil blend to enhance your massage. Just ask at the time of booking if you’d like me to create a blend for you and I’ll make it when you arrive.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is a reclined massage so you will be lying, face up, on my heated couch and covered with a warm blanket. It is possible to give Indian Head Massage with you fully clothed, but in my experience it’s more pleasurable if oil is used so for this reason it’s best for you to remove your top (obviously I will give you privacy to get ready).
Unless you’ve chosen for me to create an essential oil blend just for you, I use unscented or pre-scented almond oil for this treatment (coconut oil is also available for people with nut allergies). The massage itself includes work on your upper shoulders, neck, scalp and face and is designed to be deeply relaxing.
Although I use fairly standard Indian Head Massage techniques, I tend to spend more time on the areas where I can feel the most tension, incorporating extra techniques where I feel they will be beneficial.
