During a nasya treatment, the head, neck and face areas of the body will be massaged to assist with opening up of the nasal passageway, followed by drops of nasya oil to be administered into the nose and back into the nasal passages. Nasya is a wonderful treatment to hep with opening up the senses, addressing dry nose in the winter months or alleviating symptoms of seasonal allergies.

This action stimulates the pineal and pituitary glands and works on the sixth and seventh chakras. A wonderfully grounding treatment that will leave you in a zone of "zen".

Deeper than a traditional abhyanga, vishesh focuses on breaking up adhesions and in-depth working of the muscles. tissues and fascia. Oils or lotions may be used depending on the dosha and goal of the massage. 

Reiki Energy Work

Every cell in the human body holds energy and carries a natural electromagnetic frequency that it prefers to resonate with. This magnetic pulse is known as your bio magnetic field. In Ayurveda, our energy, or life force, is known as prana. Our energy helps the body heal from within; giving us all an an innate internal wisdom and the power to heal ourselves. Reiki taps into the energy that connects individuals with their higher self. During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands on or just above a client's body, conducting universal energy out through their hands where it flows into the client's body to promote healing, overall wellness and homeostasis. You are fully clothed during this session. 

Chakra Balancing

Our seven energy centers align the spine of our body in correlation with our organs, nerve centers and emotions. If a chakra becomes blocked it can lead to imbalances or illness. By working with the energy of the chakras the energy flow is opened to move freely and fluidly. Chakra balancing may incorporate aspects of massage, energy work, āyurvedic remedies (including essential oils), yoga asana, pranayama, meditation and mantra depending on clients needs. 

Marmāni Therapy

Marma points are the energetic pathways for healing the body, mind and spirit. "Marma" in Sanskrit means mortal or vulnerable point, and acts as an access point or doorway into the nadis (energetic pathways) of consciousness. Āyurvedic texts map 117 marma points in the body and these points influence the flow of prana (life force) using awareness, intention, essential oils, tuning forks and light pressure. Clients are fully clothed during this treatment.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy has been practiced all over the world for centuries. During the session, the practitioner applies lubricant to the area being treated, then plastic cups are placed on the skin and a vacuum is created by suctioning out the air. The skin of the client is pulled into the cup and slight reddening will occur. The therapist leaves the cup on the client’s skin for a short time, usually between 2 and 10 minutes. The cup is removed and can then be applied to another area, if desired. In some cases, the therapist will move the cup back and forth (for example, along the spinalis muscles of the spine). Cupping enhances circulation, breaks up tight fascia, increasing energy flow, deactivates trigger points, and pulls out the toxins stuck in bodily tissues.  

Moon Cycle Therapy
