This is a two part treatment ...in the first hour, warm, organic seed oil and essential oils or organic herbalized oils selected specifically for you is applied with light friction and gentle pressure with specific strokes designed to stimulate, clear and balance the energy patterns of your body and mind.  The treatment stimulates lymph and blood circulation and supports hormonal balance.  It helps strenghten all the tissues of the body and supports the immune system. It feels wonderful!

The second part of the treatment consists of :

Shirodhara - the application of a slow, fine stream of warm organic oil poured continuously over the third eye, forehead and scalp.  The oil is mixed especially for you.  This treatment calms the mind by inducing slower brain wave function allowing for deep relaxation.  It releases tension and discomfort in the head, neck and shoulders, and alleviates headaches, anxiety, nervousness and other stress related symptoms.  It allows for expanding awareness and feelings of well-being, balance and joy.

Nasya is a facial treatment using specially formulated organic oils and gentle heat.  Herbal oil drops are applied into the nose, stimulating energy points (marma) and encouraging lymph to flow.  Nasya clears obstructions in the sinuses, relieves tension, pacifies nerves and clarifies mental processes.  It can alleviate insomnia, sinus conditions, ringing in the ears and dark circles under the eyes.    (can be done along with an abhyanga instead of shirodhara)

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Geriatric Massage

Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and also increase range of motion. If you are elderly, geriatric massage can help you maintain and improve your overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced due to aging. In addition, since the elderly don't typically receive enough physical touch, this massage can also help alleviate symptoms of loneliness or depression.
