Traditional Ayurvedic massage therapy is a deeply relaxing, warm oil massage, which uses specific techniques and stimulation of pressure points called marmas. Therapeutically, it can help diagnose and treat specific conditions or more generally promote health and relaxation.

Toxins, stress and negative emotions can accumulate at mama points, manifesting as pain, blockages or swelling. This can be an indication of disease or imbalance.

Following a consultation, oils will be chosen to suit your specific doshic type and to create balance. You can expect to feel very relaxed after your massage, so it’s important to considerer this when planning your time post massage.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Massage Therapy:

• Strengthens the immune system
• Improves the condition of the skin and circulation
• Stimulates the internal organs of the body

Oil and calamus powder are applied to the body. The powder stimulates the skin, improves blood circulation and provides a mild exfoliating effect on the skin.

As a floor based massage, the massage is predominantly received from a side lying position to allow for comfort and relaxation. Traditionally a deep tissue massage, it will be adjusted to suit the needs of your physical and emotional state.

Tension and general aches in the body as a result of postural changes will be eased through massage, joint mobilisation and traction and gentle Yoga stretches.

Nourishing the body and self-care is essential at any stage of your life and is particularly beneficial throughout your pregnancy.
