The Ayurvedic facial + Indian head massage is a profoundly calming, grounding and rejuvenating experience that utilizes a specific combination of massage techniques and pressure points to release tension and cultivate a sense of inner serenity. The session involves gentle massage techniques applied to the scalp, neck, shoulders and back -the areas most subject to stress- using warm, organic herbal oils. Specific facial massage techniques are used to support lymph, blood and energetic flow - enhancing the skin’s natural radiance. This service is provided in our wellness room, where you'll also reap the benefits of our PEMF mat and red light therapy panels.
The Ayurvedic facial + Indian head massage is centred around using all-natural products tailored to your individual skin needs. It includes a rejuvenating eye balm that is absorbed into the skin with the help of smooth, mushroom-shaped opalite stones for a gentle facial massage, along with a vibrating facial massage.
This revitalizing session also features a Kansa face and back massage. The Kansa wand is an Ayurvedic tool containing a wooden handle and a rounded, smooth metal head composed of a sacred blend of copper and tin. It helps balance the skin's pH levels, reduce puffiness, enhance blood circulation, and promote oxygen flow to the surface of the skin, creating a natural glow.
It all comes together with a soothing scalp massage using warm herbal oils customized to your specific needs, enhancing the shine, health, and strength of your hair.

What is PEMF?
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy is a system for pain management and the recovery from sports injuries, lower back pain, muscle aches and pains, headaches, nervous tension and stress, inflammation, improved immune system, high blood pressure and degenerative conditions related to aging.
How does PEMF work?
PEMF therapy uses pulsating magnetic frequencies (similar to grounding / having your feet in the earth or having your feet on sand) to deliver energy into your body's cells. This energy can help with healing by increasing ATP production (cellular energy), normalizing cell function, improving oxygen flow to tissues, and aiding in the removal of toxins from cells.
What is near infrared red light therapy?
When exposing your body to near-infrared light., This light is absorbed by your cells and triggers various biological responses. It helps stimulate the production of energy in your cells (ATP), which can promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Additionally, red light therapy can enhance collagen production, leading to improved skin health and reduced signs of aging. Overall, the therapeutic effects of red light therapy occur at a cellular level, supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Near infrared light has the ability to penetrate deeper into the body, reaching tissues and muscles at a greater depth. This deeper penetration can provide additional benefits such as enhanced muscle recovery, improved athletic performance, and deeper tissue healing.
Please note that while the following studies provide evidence of potential benefits, individual results may vary. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new regimens or activity.
