Holistic Massage

  shivaandshakti 

 

Marianne’s approach is to give a sense of wholeness therefore the treatment offers  healing and relaxing strokes in combination with deep tissue techniques to release tensions at all levels – physical, mental, psychological.  It ends with a head and face massage that encourages deeper awareness.

 

Essential oils are added to enhance the benefits and they are chosen with the base oil according to your condition and if necessary to your ayurvedic constitution.

 

Massage keeps the joints healthy, improves circulation and the lymphatic system thus assisting with the elimination of toxins.  It creates a sense of “lightness” and helps to integrate body, mind and soul.

 

Treatments last 1h30mins and costs £55 and £60 - £70 (home visits).

ABHYANGA is a preventive and therapeutic method of ayurvedic massage using specific oils and macerated herbs in order to restore health by cleansing and rejuvenating the system.  It aims at rebalancing the doshas (the three forces) which are in a unique proportion according to each person.  It is ideal for removing toxins (called “Ama” in sanksrit), digestive problems, insomnia, skin problems and other ailments.

Before each session the therapist will need to understand and assess your prakriti (constitution) and vikriti (imbalance) in order to give a treatment that is specific and unique to you. Ayurvedic nutritional and lifestyle advice will also be part of the treatment.

 

One treatment of 1hr30mins costs £65.

A course of 5 treatments is often necessary to restore balance.  The number and frequency of treatments will be assessed according to your constitution. Price on request for block booking.
