Ayurvedic Indian Head, Hand + Foot Massage

Indian Head, Hand and Foot Massage is a very grounding, balancing and restorative type of bodywork. The whole session is done while you are lying on a massage table facing up. At your choice, you can be either fully clothed or undressed down to your waist and covered with a blanket.

The session starts by using firm and gentle rhythmic movements to clear years of built-up tension in the head, neck, shoulders and arms. This rather vigorous part of the session is followed by soothing pressure point work on your head, hands and feet with the goal of stimulating nerve endings in those areas to release energy, relax muscles and encourage the body to naturally restore its own healthy balance. In addition, grounding hot stones and hot towels applications are used in this extremely nurturing session to deepen the therapeutic effect.

Chakra Balancing

When our chakras are out of balance or blocked, we ourselves feel lethargic, ill, and/or ‘out of sorts’. Each chakra is connected to the body and soul in different ways (please see chart). When we are holding in emotions, or experiencing physical or mental discomfort, making sure your chakras are clear and flowing freely, will help us feel like ourselves again.

The patient will be fully clothed on the table, laying on their backs. During which various energy therapies can be used as well as the help of Crystals, Pendulums, a technique called blowing and smudging of sage/herbs. The practitioner will either hover over each chakra, or use a light touch of the hands. The energy may feel warm, cool, and/or tingly, depending on how the client takes on the energy. In result, you will bee more clear, light, and peaceful.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese healing and relaxation technique that has been practiced in Japan for many years. It was introduced to North America in the 1940s. It is a non-invasive and holistic therapy that brings balance to mind, body, and spirit. This balance strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and supports general wellbeing. Reiki is currently used in hospitals and clinics worldwide to facilitate relaxation and recovery, decrease anxiety, and provide relief for physical pain. Other benefits, such as the alleviation of symptoms of depression, and improved concentration, memory and communication skills, vary from person to person. Reiki is practiced on a massage table by placing hands in specific positions on or above the body. Recipients of Reiki commonly report having a greater sense of well-being, improved sleep and digestion, and overall stress reduction.

Reiki Massage Synergy

The Reiki Massage Synergy is a wonderful mix of essential massage and balancing energy work, tailored to give each individual the muscle work and energy work that the body needs. A truly relaxing mind body experience.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a treat. It induces a deeply relaxed, blissed-out and meditative state.

Each stone is worked in turn with my hands along your body to relax the tight muscles and balance your energy. The warm, oiled stones are also placed on multiple acupressure points around your body. This experience is so blissful that you may drift off into a dreamy state and lose track of where the hot stones are arranged.

Don’t be afraid to tell me if the stones are too warm for you. You’ll relax much more quickly and start enjoying that delicious feeling of total well-being if you’re comfortable. Enjoy the after glow — float slowly back to the real world and re-hydrate your body by sipping plenty of water.

Body + Spirit Massage

Body and Spirit Massage is a creative combination of Samatva Signature Massage, Craniosacral techniques (Mahaya only) and an amazing energy work and focuses on integration of mind, body and spirit. The body is worked as a whole. Not only is a physical connection made, but an energetic connection between therapist and client and often a spiritual connection between a client and their own inner Self .

Pure essential oils, hot stones, deep tissue techniques and intuitive energy work are incorporated into the continuous flow of this massage to relax your body and calm the mind, leading to a profoundly peaceful state of expanded awareness and of mental clarity.

If desired, guided visualization can also be included into this very intuitive, healing session, resulting in real and immediate benefits. You’ll feel better physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Foot Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural healing art, based on the principal that there are reflexes on the head, hands and feet that directly correspond with glands, organs and parts of the body. During the treatment, I use my thumb and fingers to stimulate reflex areas on your feet to trigger physiological changes that empower your body to heal itself.

Working on many levels, it is a deeply relaxing therapy that stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems, encouraging your body to release toxins and improving your immune system.

If desired, Reiki and guided visualization can be incorporated into the session to cleanse and restore your energy centers, known as chakras, all while re-aligning you to your true authentic Self.

NOTE: Mahaya is permitted to issue insurance receipts for this treatment.

Cranio Sacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet profound non-invasive, hands-on treatment for the whole body. The practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system and detect restrictions, gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord.

The treatment is focused on supporting the health of the whole being, especially the nervous system. This is the system that dictates all of the body’s functioning, constantly sending and receiving information. Craniosacral Therapy is very soothing to the nervous system and creates a large sense of relaxation.
