WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT

​

My Indian Head Massage treatments last for 40 minutes. Your first treatment will take a little longer and includes a preliminary health and lifestyle consultation so that I can tailor my treatment to your specific needs. All you will need to do is remove any clothing that covers your shoulders and upper arms. I’ll provide you will a soft robe to wrap around yourself.

​

My treatment is usually done while seated and involves the use of oils which have an incredibly beneficial effect on the hair and skin.

​

It starts with the shoulders, upper arms and back – around the shoulder blades, working into these areas as they often hold a lot of tension. I’ll then move to the neck area using flowing motions up the neck, massaging and stretching to relive any stress, tension and tightness. Finally, I massage along the acupressure points on your head and face.

​

Indian Head massage is great for your hair but please bear in mind that you will have oils rubbed into your scalp, so you may want to bring a hat along to wear afterwards. Shoulder length hair (or longer) will be tied back at the start of the treatment and then loosened during the head massage.
