SERVICES
Services are subject to practitioner availability.

Ayurveda Services
Ayurveda is the traditional Indian science of health and comes from the Sanskrit words, Ayur meaning life and veda meaning knowledge. We are pleased to offer these ancient healing techniques for bringing harmony, peace and balance to one’s mind, body and spirit.

  • Swedana
    An oiling of the entire body using long, slow rhythmic techniques, followed by a rosemary and eucalyptus steam in our cedar steam cabinet. The treatment is completed with a body dusting, using organic barley flour and a dry brushing which exfoliates and refreshes the skin. Swedana helps the process of detoxification by inducing sweat, calming the mind and alleviating muscle and joint pain. Ask us about contraindications.
    $125 (75 min)

  • Shirodhara
    A warm ginger pack is placed on the back while you enjoy a head, neck, shoulder, hand and foot massage. This is followed by a steady stream of warm organic oil over the forehead. Deeply relaxing, soothing and rejuvenating, this treatment calms the nervous system and helps relieve stress, headaches, insomnia and exhaustion.
    $115 (60 min) or add-on to another treatment for $75 (30 min)

  • Abhyanga
    A vigorous, warm oil massage, stimulating the lymphatic system. Deeply nourishing, Abhyanga style massage relaxes muscles and moves prana (life force energy).
    $110 (60 min)

  • Marma Point Face Massage Add-On
    Warm organic almond oil massaged over the vital facial points. A soothing addition to most treatments.
    Add-on to any treatment for only $35 (30 min)

Bodywork

  • Swedish Massage
    Light to firm massage using warmed oils.
    $85 (60 min), $125 (90 min)

  • Stone Massage
    With warm, organic oil and warmed stones. The heat from the stones penetrates into the muscles for revitalization and groundedness. Ask about contraindications before scheduling.
    $110 (60 min), $125 (70 min)

  • Reiki
    A gentle hands-on approach to balance and harmonize one’s subtle energies. Reiki is restorative and nurturing, calms emotional distress and relaxes an over stressed body. It can be enjoyed alone or as a complement to other services. Recipient is fully clothed.
    $75 (60 min), $100 (75 min)
