Sacred Journey

The head neck and shoulders are very important energy centres within your body. If you are feeling stressed or angry, tension tends to accumulate here. Massaging the head encourages the supply of oxygen to the brain, which is one of the best ways of reducing stress. Oxygen helps you think clearly and creatively, the same effect is brought about through exercising.  Indian Head Massage (or champissage) is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system that has been practised in India for over a thousand years. With or without oils, it is a wonderfully relaxing therapy that is effective at relieving aches, pains, stress and re-balancing energy flow to provide a deep sense of peace, calm and tranquility. 

This beautiful treatment not only includes the head but also the upper back, shoulders, neck and face.  It can be done seated or lying down, in full clothing or covered.  There are many benefits from an Indian Head Massage treatment and the therapeutic effects are found to last long after the treatment is over.  The more regularly you have one, the greater the benefits.
