Bodywork/Massage
Ayurvedic massage therapies are much more than a means to relax tense muscles and ease stress. They are, first and foremost, powerful balancing treatments that stimulate the body’s energy channels and and open the mind to the experience of inner wakefulness. Every massage treatment use therapeutic organic oils and herbs which are carefully selected and customized for each individual. These herbally infused oils focus on detoxifying the body and eliminating the stored-up cellular waste which precipitate disease.
