Also known as Champi, an Indian Head Massage is the most relaxing experience you will ever have.  Originating from India, a treatment will feel like you have had a full-body massage as stress, tension, aches and pains melt away and your entire being is re-balanced.   Using a blend of Ayurvedic and Western massage techniques, deep accumulated stress is released from the muscles and joints of the neck, shoulders, head and face.   Regular massage is known for its beneficial effects on overall wellbeing.  A fully clothed treatment that may be given with or without the use of Ayurvedic oils, Indian head massage stimulates blood and lymph circulation, relaxes connective tissues and frees knots from muscles.  Treatments are deeply calming and revitalising, and are particularly recommended for those with high stress, fatigue, insomnia, migraines or sinusitis.   Oils are optional but can add to the therapeutic experience.

"Ayurveda is the instruction manual for the natural living of human beings. Understanding this philosophy of life enables you to become your own “healer”. You learn about your body, how it functions, and how to treat it through diet and herbal remedies. In fact, you also become your own dietician, personal trainer, counsellor or psychologist, stylist, and beautician! Ayurveda is a unified system that encompasses all these aspects. The magic of it is that it involves nothing more expensive or complex than adapting your diet and lifestyle routines."  Dr Partap Chauhan
