I have been offering and teaching Indian Head Massage since 2012.

What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian head massage, also known as champissage, is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition.

It originates from an Indian alternative medicine system called Ayurveda, (translated as the ‘science of life’), whereby it is believed that the mind and body are intricately connected and thus can influence one another. Through this theory, is is understood that Indian head massage can not only reduce headaches and improve physical well-being, but it can also improve mental and emotional wellness too.

Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic practice that has been used in India for over 2000 years, (since around 600 B.C.), and requires no oils or equipment, making it a very accessible treatment, perfect for newcomers to massage. It is usually done while seated and through light clothing.

I do offer a range of blended oils to enhance the treatment when working on the upper back, neck and shoulders.

Indian Head Massage is incredibly effective in aiding relaxation, and as a tool for stress relief and to to reduce tension.

A typical Indian head massage treatment, starts with the shoulders, working into this area especially as it often holds a lot of tension. The upper back is also massaged working around the shoulder blades.

Following this, flowing motions will move up the neck massaging and stretching to relieve any stress and tension.

Finally, the scalp is then massaged along the acuppresure points on the head, and in non-corporate settings, followed up by the forehead and the area around the eyes. The upper back and arms are also be massaged depending on the techniques being used.

Indian Head Massage can be coupled with Reiki for a deeply relaxing treatment.

I have been a reiki master since 2013 and teaching Reiki to many many students for over 8 years.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.

Using EFT and Reiki either together or on their own may help to release stored unprocessed emotions or trauma held in the body for a long or short period of time.

Either way they are both a very effective tool and addition to coaching and counselling and an incredibly effective aid to stress and anxiety relief, giving the receiver back a sense of control over there own lives.
