What is an Indian Head Massage?

An Indian Head Massage is a wonderful treatment, concentrating on shoulder, neck and head areas; relieving feelings of tension and stress. It soothes, comforts and rebalances the energy flow to produce a feeling of peace and tranquillity.

The treatment is based on the Ayurvedic healing system and has been enjoyed in India for thousands of years.The head is covered with a thin layer of muscle which tightens when we are tense, resulting in stiff neck and shoulders, headaches, feelings of anxiety, eyestrain, hair loss etc. By relaxing these muscles an Indian Head Massage can improve blood flow, alleviating these symptoms and others and relaxing your whole body.

Jess has trained in Holistic Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reiki I and II and is a Reiki Master, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Spiritual Healing and Deep Tissue work.

For Jess the initial pert of each treatment is essential to dvelop a relationship with the patient and understand what it is that they need. With every treatment Jess aims to take her patient to a place of deep relaxation and peace and at the same time loosen their muscles and so release tension. If needed Jess uses the healing power of colour to focus energy into stagnant areas and help the patient relax.

Jess was inspired by treatment that she had received over the years – the profound effect they had on her is what made her want to learn and share with others.

Jess is a member of Independent Professional Therapists International.
