Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage originates from the traditional Indian system of medicine, known as Ayurveda and is also known as ‘Champissage’, from ‘Champi’, the Hindu word for head massage. The aim of Indian Head Massage is to help balance both the mind and body through relaxation, rejuvenation and increased energy levels.

It relaxes the upper body, the areas most vulnerable to stress and tension. A gentle massage to the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, scalp and face, helps to dispel stress, relieve tension and promote healthy hair and scalp. Using shiatsu and acupressure techniques, it stimulates vital energy centres, promoting a sense of well-being and positive energy.

The massage is very versatile in that it can be done directly onto the skin or through the clothes, with or without oils (you may choose from coconut, sesame, sweet almond or olive oil dependant on your skin type).
