What Is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is a traditional massage practice originating from India, where forms of head massage have been used for generations as part of everyday wellbeing and self-care. The treatment focuses primarily on the head, neck, shoulders and upper back, using a range of massage techniques and pressures.
Depending on your preferences and suitability, the treatment may include massage of the scalp, face, neck, shoulders, upper back and arms. Indian Head Massage is performed fully clothed, making it an accessible treatment if you're looking for something relaxing without needing to undress.
Could Indian Head Massage Work For Me?
Sometimes we don't realise how much tension we're carrying until we finally give ourselves permission to slow down. Indian Head Massage can be a lovely way to step away from the busyness of everyday life, give yourself some dedicated time and enjoy the nurturing experience of massage.
Indian Head Massage may be something for you if you:
Feel like you carry tension in your neck, shoulders or upper back
Feel physically tense or tired
Feel like you rarely make time for yourself
Find that you hold tension in your shoulders without realising it
You're feeling stressed, overwhelmed or emotionally drained
Have a physically demanding job or lifestyle
Want some dedicated time to relax and give your body a break
Are going through a difficult or uncertain time
Simply want to experience Indian Head Massage for yourself

What To Expect From A Indian Head Massage Session
Your session begins with some time to settle in and talk about how you're feeling, what you're looking for and anything you'd like me to be aware of before we begin. We'll discuss your preferences and make sure you're comfortable with the treatment and pressure before starting.
You'll remain fully clothed throughout the session and will usually be seated or comfortably positioned for the treatment, depending on the areas being worked on. The massage may include the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms, scalp and face. I'll use a combination of massage techniques and pressure, adapting the treatment to you and how you're feeling on the day.
You don't need to talk during your treatment. You can simply relax, close your eyes and enjoy the experience.
Your comfort is important throughout the session, so if you would like the pressure changed, need to adjust your position or simply want to communicate anything with me, you can do so at any time. Afterwards, we'll give you some time to gently come back into the room before you continue with your day.
The Benefits Of Indian Head Massage
Everyone experiences massage differently, and I don't promise a particular outcome.
Some people may find Indian Head Massage helps them to:
Relieve stress and calm the nervous system.
Reduce muscle tension in the upper back, shoulders and neck.
Improve circulation.
Stimulate blood flow to the scalp, supporting scalp health and hair follicles.
Experience a deep sense of calm that can help alleviate fatigue and improve sleep.
Gain mental clarity and support in clearing brain fog or headaches by releasing pressure in the scalp.
Reconnect with their body and how they’re feeling.
Feel nurtured and cared for.
Enhance their mood by triggering the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
Experience an overall sense of calm and wellbeing.
For some people, the greatest benefit may simply be having permission to stop for a while.

What others are saying
Thank you for the excellent service you provide. I am surprised out how good Reiki has made me feel. I was feeling so much discomfort with my arm and it is no longer an issue even months later. On an emotional level it has really opened my eyes to how important self care and healing is.
Pauline
Thank you for all of your support, patience, understanding, encouragement. It would have been easy for you to have been judgemental to my issues. But you were thoroughly professional. My faith and confidence has been restored with human kind. I am now on the path to recovery.
Adhira
I’m going to try and find the words to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a wonderful, kind and selfless person. I came into this experience feeling hopeless and you’ve given me the knowledge to handle life a little bit better. I’m hoping this is not the end and just the beginning. So once again thank you so much.
Sarah
Thank you so much for all of your help so far, you have changed my life. You have taught and inspired me so much to work towards being the best version of me. You truly are an amazing lady, I will continue to learn and look forward to unfolding more aspects of myself as time goes on. Thank you.
