Learn about Ayurveda’s unique therapy that induces a state of calm and bliss. A controlled flow of warm oil is gently poured over the “Ajana” or third eye charka. The oil then streams down the “Sahashra” or crown charka, which magnifies the senses, disperses negative electrical impulses that accumulate in the forehead from stress, reverses imbalances within the body, rejuvenates the face and renews the sweetness of life. Shirodhara is one of the most unique therapies available for reducing stress and enhancing cellular intelligence and immunity.

The Deep Tissue and Lifting Massage is a European massage technique benefiting individuals who hold tension and stress within their facial muscles that may result in premature elastosis of the facial contour and muscular framework. This massage method includes the face, neck, décolleté, and shoulder area. This extensive massage technique is comprised of a total of 45 different manipulations. This technique leads to an increase in metabolic activity, regulates the adipose tissue and prevents muscle atrophy. It will help to relax tight, stressed muscle tissue and restore the skin’s elasticity and firmness. This massage also prevents the build-up of lactic acid within the muscle.
