SERVICES

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.
    $110 (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.
    $110 (60 min)
  • Abhyanga
    A vigorous, warm oil Ayurvedic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, moves prana (life force energy), relaxes muscles and is deeply nurturing. Abhyanga style massage can be given simultaneously by 2 practitioners (4 hands) or one practitioner (2 hands).
