Additional Information

An ancient Indian lifestyle practice which aims to create harmony within the body. It works on the belief that all life forms have a “dosha” (a body type) – this is a unique mix of energies known as “vata”, “pitta” and “kapha”, similar to the idea of elements – water, fire, earth, and so on in the West.

A person’s dosha determines the kind of lifestyle that is balancing and healthy for them, including what sort of food they should eat and the amount and type of exercise they should do. Ayurveda covers a variety of techniques, from detoxification, diet and herbal prescriptions, to yoga, meditation and massage therapy. All are personalised to suit the individual’s dosha.

Ayurvedic massage uses oils that are chosen to suit your dosha. The massage techniques used include tapping, kneading and squeezing as well as the more traditional massage strokes you would expect. The style and flow of the massage is determined by who you are, and what your body needs for balance and wellbeing at the time. An Ayurvedic therapist is trained to focus on the “marma points” – similar to the pressure points in Reflexology, Acupuncture and Acupressure.
Before your massage begins, I will ask you questions about your lifestyle and health, to determine your dosha. She may also assess your skin type, and choose herb-infused oils accordingly. Because it is so personal, no two Ayurvedic massages are the same.

For your massage, I will tailor the intensity and level of pressure to what suits you best. During an Ayurvedic massage, sometimes I might use dosha mantras, designed to help balance your body, mind and spirit. The massage is likely to be quite oily, and some of the oil gets rubbed into your forehead and hair. A full body or the shirodhara will probably last around an hour.

Specialities

Cupping has been practised for thousands of years as part of Chinese medicine and is usually combined with massage. Chinese medicine believes that illness, stress and pain can be caused by a blockage or stagnation of blood, lymph fluids and vital energy (known as Qi). So for example, back pain may be caused by bad posture which means that your Qi energy and fluids can’t flow properly through that area and begin to stagnate. Cupping is used to stimulate movement of these fluids and Qi, to get your body back on track. It is used to treat all kinds of muscle pain, stress, and to help clear congestion after a cold or flu.

The therapy involves creating a vacuum in several cups and applying them to the skin. This causes a suction sensation which stimulates energy and fluid flow and can draw out toxins. You are usually left with some painless marks but they disappear within a week. Common results are an immediate relief of pain and stress. The treatment is especially powerful when combined with massage and ailment specific tailor made oil blends.
