Champissage, also known as an Indian head massage is a series of massage movements that evolved from the traditional practice of Ayurveda and the rich tradition of family grooming in the Indian sub-continent. It is a highly effective technique for the treatment of stress and stress related conditions.

How long is an Indian Head Massage?

Indian head massage can be performed at any length of time. We have found that a 45minute or 60minute session is more complete and seem to have more of a lasting benefit, so these are the two times that we offer. For best results a series of 3 – 5 sessions are recommended.

NOTE: Leave an extra 15minutes for your first appointment as there is a short consultation at the beginning.
