This is an ADD-ON to another treatment. It cannot be purchased by itself. At the end of your 60 or 90 min massage, warm oil is poured over the forehead for several minutes, coating the head fully with organic, ayurvedic, herbal oil and creating a deep sense of peace, "wiping the mind clean." The head, scalp, and face are then massaged using Ayurvedic techniques. Shower facilities are available, though it is recommended to keep the oil on your hair for at least 2 hours.

Sea salt and oil are rubbed vigorously over your whole body, exfoliating dead skin cells and leaving fresh glowing skin that is moisturized and invigorated.

Shila Abhyanga or Ayurvedic Stone Massage is aimed at reducing Vata in the client--that is, it is calming, peaceful, restorative and grounding. Stones harvested gently from the local area which are smooth yet textured and flat, are layed out on the body specifically to ground and anchor the first and second chakras. Copious amounts of warm, herbalized oil are used on the body with stones and hands to massage in a downward direction, moving towards the earth, bringing the energy out of the head, and into the lower body, connecting you with the earth. This therapy can bring deep tissue release and alignment in body, mind, and spirit. Sacred Stone Therapy brings most clients 5 times deeper into quietude and healing, gently allowing the heat of the stones to soften tension and melt worries away. Neem oil, high in antioxidants, is applied to the face, and a few drops of sinus oil are breathed into the nostrils. Allow Sacred Stone Therapy to renew the sweetness in your life.

is a luxurious and rare treatment focusing on head and face. It's one of the most popular Ayurvedic treatments in the west. "Shiro" mean head and "Dhara" means stream. While laying face up on the massage table, a stream of warm herbal oil is poured continuously over your forehead for about 30 minutes. This is deeply calming and centering and alters your brainwaves to bring you into a meditative state. The ultimate in detress and anti-anxiety treatments, Shirodhara is one of the most powerful treatments for relieving Vata (wind) in the mind. It is ideal for people whose minds are overworked and suffer insomnia because they can't stop thinking. The treatment begins with a foot massage, then a face and neck massage including marma points, and annointing of the nasal passages as well as the ears with a mildly medicated oil, ending with the actual Shirodhara and a short rest period, where you may take a private repose in your bliss. The oil that was poured over your forehead (32-64oz) is reserved for you to take home and use for self massage. Read more about Shirodhara here. Treats: stress, insomnia, excessive thinking or worrying, head and neck afflictions.

After a full body massage, end with a stream of warm oil flowing over the third eye.

The focus of this treatment is to faciliate a deep experience of peace in both mind and body that radiates from the face. This facial is not intended to be cosmetic, but to be tranformational. Natural ayurvedic ingredients are mixed according to your dosha. Massage strokes move lymph away from the face, stimulating new blood flow and circulation to the deep layers of the skin and facial musculature. After the sequence of massage, steam and cleansing, a mask containing twelve Ayurvedic herbs well known for their skin healing properties is applied. While that hydrates, nourishes, and detoxifies, an Ayurvedic hand and foot massage is performed that promotes relaxation in every cell of the body. The mask is then removed and a gentle, organic moisturizer seals in the benefits obtained. You will leave radiant, glowing, and relaxed: beautiful from the inside out. Treats: headache, sinus problems, allergies, skin.

During a 1 or 1.5 hour session I will guide you through a series of poses suited to your needs. Before the session we'll discuss in some detail your injuries, needs, and intent. During the practice of yoga postures, I will give you precise verbal instructions, with hands on adjustments so that your alignment is correct and you're not hurting yourself while you move deeply into poses to create freedom in places that were previously stuck. This private session is perfect for beginners who feel they need more attention than usually given in a public class, or intermediate or advanced students who just want more attention so they can go further physically and deeper with their consciousness into the meditation of yoga. I teach in the style of Forrest Yoga. Room is heated to 80 degrees.

This massage is a general one or one and a half hour treatment that can be totally relaxing, take all your stress away and leave you floating on cloud nine. You can also come in with a problem or issue you'd like addressed, like a painful back, or injured shoulder and you will leave not only feeling better in that area of your body, but also more relaxed overall. I use a combination of Swedish, Lomi Lomi, Neuromuscular Therapy, Structural Bodywork, Crainiosacral, Aromatherapy and other modalities. You can request something specific, or leave it up to me.

First your skin will be exfoliated with a dry brush or gloves to stimulate circulation and get rid of the top layer of dead skin. Then a mixture of sea minerals, algea and mud is applied to your body, and you are wrapped like a cocoon. While your head, neck and feet are massage, the mud does its detoxifying work, drawing impurities from the skin and infusing it with antioxidants and minerals.

This warm oil massage is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. Unlike Swedish, but slightly similar to Lomi Lomi, the strokes in this massage are rhythmical, cross the joints, and are targeted to your specific body type. Herbal infused oil is heated to a soothing temperature and applied liberally, the strokes aiding the absorption of the oil. This herbal-oil massage deeply penetrates the skin, relaxes the mind and body, breaks up impurities and stimulates both arterial and lymphatic circulation. It enhances the ability for nutrients to reach starved cells and for the removal of stagnant waste. It also heightens awareness that will direct the internal healing system of the body to heal itself. Treats: lymphatic and circulatory systems, stress and anxiety.
