Ayurvedic Massage

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine and healing, focusing on natural ways and herbal medicines to enhance wellness.

Therapeutic Ayurvedic massage is a ritual for the soul and is one of the core elements of the science Ayurveda.

‘Ayur’ = life
‘Veda’ = science or knowledge

Ayurvedic massage, commonly known as “Abhyanga”, is a full-body massage using warm, medicinal oils that are carefully selected based on one’s body type. The therapy harmonises the body, mind and spirit, encouraging a deep connection with your inner self. The idea is to stimulate specific energy points (marmas) on the body, promoting physical healing, improving circulation, and enhancing mental clarity.

Beyond physical deep relaxation, Ayurvedic massage aids in reducing emotional and mental stress. The techniques used also release blocked energy within the body to enhance the natural detoxification process and increase circulation, therefore helping the body effectively deliver nutrients to all of our cells. This holistic practice has been designed to balance the energy flow and rejuvenate of body tissues, offering a range of health benefits, both immediate and long-term.
