The healing power of physical human touch
As one of the oldest healing traditions, massage has gifted us with an incredible tool for stress reduction, pain relief, as well as a myriad of other benefits. The immediate feeling of deep relaxation and calm that envelopes the body and mind is the powerful result of a decrease in stress hormones, coupled with a surge in endorphins – the brain chemicals that produce feelings of wellbeing.

Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage
This beautiful massage technique originating from India is a traditional practice that is becoming increasingly popular amongst Western cultures — and for good reason! Luxurious oils nourish and promote the health of the skin, hair and scalp. A typical treatment starts with the shoulders, upper back and shoulder blades. We then move up the neck, massaging and stretching to relieve stress and tension. Lastly, the scalp is massaged along the acupressure points on the head, and followed up by the forehead and the area around the eyes.

Relaxation Massage
Fusion: Hot Stones & Aromatherapy
We already know the important role that touch can play in providing much-needed relaxation. Combining a few of the most powerful massage techniques into one treatment, this fusion massage is one of our favorites! Smooth, hot basalt stones made of volcanic rock provide heat therapy to the muscles to ease pain and melt away tension. The calming properties of plant-based aromas, also known as essential oils, further enhance the experience by allowing for a deeper state of relaxation. The treatment is completed with soothing, hot towels.
