Indian Head Massage is part of the Ayurvedic bodywork healing system.  Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda are the ancient life disciplines that have been practiced in India for over five thousand years.

In addition to our physical anatomy, there exits a “subtle” anatomy that is normally unseen.  Each Chakra corresponds to a different gland and it governs specific parts of the physical body and a different area of psychological and spiritual development.  Assisting these energy centres to remain unblocked is a highly effective way of resisting ill health.  When giving an Indian Head Massage we assist the Prana (life-force) in entering and moving through the Chakras.  Once the Prana enters the Chakras it passes through a complex network of 72,000 subtle energy channels known as Nadis.  By working with “subtle” energy in this way we make an Authentic Indian Head Massage a “whole body” treatment.
