What to Expect in a Treatment:

​

An Abhyanga Massage includes a detailed assessment of health and wellbeing before treatment and to establish your Dosha type (body type) This is a unique pattern of living force and energy that controls various activities of the body. These Dosha's (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) can become inbalanced and can cause sickness, disease and general health issues. 

​

Once the therapist knows which dosha imbalance is present in the body, the therapist will choose the appropriate dosha aromatherapy oil to be used in the treatment. The chosen oil is then heated and will remain warm throughout your massage.  

The music, the aroma, the heating, the lighting will all reflect your dosha needs that are present on the day of your treatment.

​

You will then be asked to relax on the massage bed and you will receive a deeply relaxing head, neck and shoulder massage, face, chest, abdomen, arms and legs and finally the back.
