Indian Head Massage
This treatment involves massage, shiatsu and acupressure techniques on the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, scalp and face. This relaxes areas of tension and also helps to rebalance the vital energy flowing through the body.
It is a popular therapy that promotes a general sense of well-being.

What happens during an Indian Head Massage treatment?
During treatment, you can remain fully clothed, and will be seated on a comfortable, low-backed chair. The massage is normally done through light clothing. Ideally, a light, fitted top or shirt should be worn, to allow easy access to the shoulders and upper back whilst the treatment is performed. Alternatively, a towel can be provided for your convenience so that your shoulders and upper back can be bare. At your first appointment you will be asked questions about your health and lifestyle, so that I can tailor the treatment to your specific requirements*. Then different types of massage and pressure are applied to the neck and shoulders, upper arms, scalp and face. This works on the meridian lines and acupressure points of the upper body, leaving you feeling relaxed and revitalised. The treatment concludes with a rebalancing of the four higher chakras; the heart, throat, brow and crown chakras. These are concerned with our emotions, communication and expression, inner vision, and thinking and decision making. As you will appreciate, it is essential that all these aspects of ourselves are in balance, so that we can move forward in a positive and effective way. Treatment time is 45 minutes.Are oils used on the scalp?
I do not usually use oil on the scalp as it obviously leaves the hair oily, which for most people is impractical. However, massage oil can, if you wish, be used on the neck, shoulders and arms.Corporate/office treatments
Indian Head Massage is ideal for the corporate/office environment as it can be carried out through clothing, and no oils are used that might spoil clothes or furniture. The treatment, whilst de-stressing, will leave you revitalised and mentally alert. A mobile service is offered to offices, corporate events and entertainment and social clubs.
