Indian Head Massage

Reduce the stress and strains of everyday living with an Indian Head Massage.

Indian Head Massage (Champissage) has been practiced in India and the Middle East for over 5000 years. It was originally a family tradition to promote healthy, shiny hair. It is an extremely relaxing form of holistic massage (holistic is taken from the greek word 'holos' meaning 'whole') balancing mind, body and spirit, bringing a sense of well-being and calm to the whole body and boosting our energy, dissolving tension and clearing your mind.

If you have chosen me to use essential oils, you will be provided with a towelling wrap, or if you are having no oils please wear a loose fitting top or a t-shirt to aid massage of the upper back. Your privacy is respected at all times and I provide a dressing screen for this purpose.

The massage is seated, and I will start by placing my hands gently on your head and shoulders and asking you to take a few deep breaths to relax you. I will then use a variety of massage techniques whilst you drift away into a land of peace and calm.
