Abhyanga
AYURVEDIC MASSAGE
The therapy is deep penetrating, nourishing and detoxifying.
Gentle, full body cleansing massage that involves warm oils.
It is believed that the effects of Abhyanga are similar to those received when one is saturated with love. Like the experience of being loved, Abhyanga can give a deep feeling of stability and warmth.
The oils I use for our sessions, are pre-mixed with herbs and essentail oils of therapeutic grade.

One of Abhyanga meanings is "glowing body",
and it was originally mentioned in the ancient Ayurvedic texts.
Therefore the treatment can be seen as a piece of practical wisdom that follows an unbroken chain across thousands of years of traditional Indian medicine.
Testing various techniques of bodywork and massage throughout 11 years, I've found out that Abhyanga allows me to embody qualities of loving awareness, tenderness and caring, while working on the very physical plane for the highest good of my client.
