Ayurvedic Massage serves the purpose of cleansing and rejuvenating, while having great relaxing, soothing effects.

Breaking down impurities that clog the channels of elimination is achieved by deep movements in the areas that hold the most tension, such as hips, ribs, shoulder blades, neck, shoulders, etc. We assist in improving organ functions by working in the abdominal area. The chest and limbs are given due attention, draining lymph channels, moving energy, relieving tension and healing tissues through a variety of specialized, flluid motions. Therapeutic oils are used to maintain and adjust the natural balance of the individual’s constitution to facilitate detoxification.
