Have you been feeling low on energy? Agitated? Exhausted or tired? Have you been experiencing brain fog, headaches, forgetfulness, insomnia, or anxiety? This service is designed to help restore your nervous system with the partnered care of massage therapy and Ayurvedic herbal oil treatment, Shirodhara. ----------- What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is a holistic health approach that originated in India thousands of years ago. It focuses on rebalancing the life forces, called doshas, within your body using herbal remedies, food, and lifestyle adjustments as medicine. What is Shirodhara? Shirodhara comes from the two Sanskrit words “shiro” (head) and “dhara” (flow). It’s an Ayurvedic healing technique that involves having someone pour liquid — usually oil, milk, buttermilk, or water — onto your forehead. In this session, we'll be using heated, herb-infused oil. For even greater results, it is often accompanied by head, face, or body massage. What are the benefits of this service? Shirodhara is said to have relaxing, soothing, and calming effects on the body and mind. Research also suggests that Shirodhara may help: - Improve sleep quality - Manage insomnia - Lessen anxiety (when combined with yoga) - Reduce stress - Alleviate headaches - Assist nervous system disorders - Aid those who live with ADHD and Autism ------------ What does this session entail? - 30-minute full body massage by Kael, focusing on nervous system regulation - 30-minute Shirodhara (gentle herb-infused oil flow on head) with Marma point release (Ayrurvedic energy points on the face and body) by Leah This service aims to aid in nervous system repair and attunement.
