Read on to find out about the new massage and massage training services I learned while in India. If you're a bit skint but would still like a massage -I need willing bodies to practice Chavutti massage on (all I ask is £10 to cover my costs). See below for details:
New! Ayurvedic Baby Massage Training
Babies can be massaged every day from birth for up to a year after they are born. Baby massage: improves parent–child bonding, calms the baby and improves sleeping patterns, improves digestion and relieves colic and constipation.
1 hour lessons (one to one tuition) available in my massage room in East Dulwich for only £20. Price includes an illustrated manual with detailed instructions to take away with you so you can practice at home.
New! Ayurvedic Deep Tissue Massage
Ayurvedic Deep Tissue massage uses palms, thumbs, fingers, knuckles, fists, forearms and elbows with increasing intensit, allowing me to go much deeper into the muscles after warming them up, relieving deep seated muscular pains.
I use Ayurvedic oil infused with indian herbs: Brahmi and Shikakai leaving your body smelling heavenly! £40/ 1hr | £55 /90 mins
New! Ayurvedic Yoga Massage
Performed on a futon, this massage uses sesame oil and calamus powder which has warming and exfoliating qualities.
As well as my hands, I use my feet, leaning on a stool, applying deep and rolling strokes with both my feet to your back, buttocks and thighs. Yoga stretches leave you relaxed and flexible.
If you like Thai yoga massage and my Ayurvedic detox body scrub massage (Udvartana), you'll love this! It combines the compression techniques and yogic stretches of Thai yoga massage with the cleansing and exfoliating effects of Udvartana. £40/ 1hr | £55 /90 mins
New! Keralan Massage (Chavutti)
Yes I know, with the rope and the PVC sheet, this does look very '50 Shades of Grey' as my friends took great pleasure in pointing out when I posted this picture on facebook! But trust me Chavutti feels amazing. After a few trial runs, turns out that the PVC sheet doesn't work anyway - its far too slippery. So you lie on a much nicer feeling cotton sheet.
Literally meaning foot pressure, in Chavutti Thirumal only feet are used, using coconut oil and long, sweeping strokes from the fingers to the toes. The rope suspended from a hook in the ceiling is only for balance.
I couldn't practice this until I had a hook installed in my ceiling in my new flat, so I need willing bodies to practice on. All I ask is £10 per session to cover my costs
