Shirodhara

60 min | $140. BOOK ONLINE

Shirodhara comes from the Sanskrit words “shir” (head) and “dhara” (pouring), referring to the steady stream of warm oil poured across the forehead. The continuous flow of oil creates subtle pressure and vibrations over the "third eye" chakra to calm the mind, restore sleep, and stimulate brain function. It’s a uniquely transformative experience that relaxes the nervous system and promotes mental clarity.

The session includes:

Hair brushing
A steady stream of warm oil flowing over the forehead
Herbalized oil that promotes healthy hair, relaxation, and better sleep
Scalp massage

Preparation:

Dress in comfortable clothing that you don’t mind if oil gets on it
Your hair will be oiled so you may want to bring a hat or head cover

Contraindications:

Recent neck injury or inability to lay head back
Brain tumors or skin irritations on the head
Fever, nausea, dizziness or fainting

Abhyanga

60 min | $100. BOOK ONLINE

Abhyanga translates to "oil rubbing," a ritual that combines rhythmic, choreographed movements with warm, herbalized oils to deeply nourish the body-mind connection. This ancient Ayurvedic therapy embodies snehana, or "maternal love," infusing the ritual with a sense of care and nurturing.

Oils used are, sesame oil (rich in antioxidants), sunflower oil (light, cooling), or Mahanarayan Oil (known for soothing muscles and joints). Oils are selected based on your individual dosha balance and therapeutic needs.

This practice of anointing with oil nourishes the joints, enhances skin health, and calms the nervous system, fostering a sense of heightened awareness and activating your body's natural healing mechanisms.

“Oil to the body is like love to the soul”

-Ayurvedic Proverb

Swedana

20 min | $20. BOOK ONLINE

Swedana, a soothing herbal steam therapy, is used to open pores and promote perspiration. Steam infused with essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, and lemongrass detoxifies the body, relaxes muscles, and enhances the treatment's effects. This combination is ideal for relieving stiffness, promoting circulation, and creating a sense of lightness and clarity.
