What is Indian Head Massage?

A soothing massage that is easy to learn...

Indian Head Massage is one of the most enjoyable therapies to learn. This therapy is performed in a chair, fully clothed and is great for reducing stress, headaches, improving sleep and general health and well being.

Originating in the East over a thousand years ago, Indian Head Massage is part of the Ayurvedic approach to health. It focuses on the upper body to relieve stress and tension.

The Indian Head Massage therapy routine we teach includes massage of the head, neck, shoulders, back, face and hands to provide a full, soothing and holistic treatment.

Health Benefits of Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is also known as 'Champissage' (the Indian word for massage is 'champi').

This Ayurvedic approach to health treats the person holistically; mind, body and emotions. Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage is used regularly as part of this approach to health. Yoga, a balanced diet and meditation are also encouraged for optimum health and well being which is why we teach some meditation on the course too.
