Massage
Ayurvedic Bodywork: Ayurveda is the ancient science of natural health and
healing from India. Traditional Ayurvedic massages are whole body therapies
using warm oil and specific strokes to relax the central nervous system, remove
deeply held toxins, and promote overall health and healing.
Ayurvedic
treatments offered:
Abhyanga-Garshan: This treatment begins with a dry lymphatic massage using
special silk gloves that increases circulation and exfoliates the skin, allowing
for better absorption of the oils. This is followed by application of warm oil
with gentle rhythmic strokes that deeply relax the body and mind, improve
circulation, joint mobility and skin texture and stimulate the body’s natural
healing processes.
Vishesh: Vigorous deep rhythmic strokes that help to break up muscle
adhesions, improve circulation and remove deep seated toxins from the tissues.
This is an energizing treatment.
Marma therapy: Gentle stimulation of vital energy points using light touch,
warm oil and aromatherapy. Marma therapy removes energy blockages and promotes
the flow of healing energy throughout the body. It both deeply relaxes and
energizes the mind as well as the body.

Pregnancy Massage
(Pre and Postpartum)
Pregnancy Massage is a great way to relieve the stresses that result from the rapid and profound physical as well as mental changes that occur during pregnancy. Pregnancy massage is designed to relieve aches in the back, neck, hips, legs and weight bearing joints. It enhances range of movement and circulation, reducing problems associated with swelling, including varicose veins and cramps. Postpartum massage helps restore the body to pre-pregnancy conditions and helps nurture the new Mom. Pregnancy Massage is not indicated for the first trimester.
