bodywork & treatments
Ayurvedic Treatments
I offer gentle and fluid Abhyanga massage. Other Ayurvedic treatments include netra basti (oil bath for eyes), kati basti (oil basin for low back), shirodhara (warm oil stream on the third eye) and pinda sweda (herbal bolus therapy). These are all designed to be very nourishing and relaxing.
health counseling
I offer Ayurvedic Health Counseling sessions where we go through your story, health journey, lifestyle, habits and patterns to find some routine balancing practices. This is a space of deep listening that is held with a lot of compassion and no judgement. Often times, there can be just one or two simple things to change or add to your day that can make a huge difference to how you feel and current symptoms. I will meet you where you are at :)
bodywork
Along with Ayurvedic Treatments, I also offer lymphatic work, breast massage and abdominal massage (Chi Nei Tsang). This lymphatic work is deeper than most and can involve gua sha, cupping, hot rocks and targeted sulfur salt scrub. Breast massage can help transform stagnant tissue, break down cysts, improve lymphatic flow, and more. Abdominal massage can be very calming and help unwind areas that may be interfering with optimal digestion. Some of this work targets the psoas muscles and emotional/energetic tension.

Breasts, belly & face ~
90 minutes $140
In this treatment, we will address the upper lymph channels in the breast massage and encourage softening of the tissues. We will explore the belly area and release some tension in the psoas. We will end the massage with a deeply relaxing facial massage with organic products that I make.
Netra basti ~

A dough dam gets placed around the eyes one at a time, and filled with castor oil or ghee, or both. This treatment can be beneficial for eyesight, reducing pain, reducing stress, countering fatigue, slowing retinal deterioration, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eyes, dark circles, keratitis, macular degeneration, pterygiums and floaters.

Gentle, fluid and nourishing herbal oil massage. Very deeply hydrating and warming. Swift and mesmerizing motions help calm the whole nervous system. May this treatment drop you into a liminal space of rest and rejuvenation.
shirodhara ~
60 minutes $140
A steady stream of warm herbal oil cascades on your third eye. This is a beautiful treatment that can help calm the mind, release the nervous system, nourish the cranial nerves and bones, and send you into a deep state of meditation. The treatment ends with a delicious scalp and face massage. *Hair will be very oily after this treatment.
lymphatic Breast massage ~
60 minutes $120
In this massage, we will open the upper lymph channels to prepare for proper drainage. Then we will assess the lymph nodes in the armpits, breasts and chest area and apply the correct elements to help drain and hydrate the lymph system. Session may include cupping and gua sha to address matted lymph and to encourage changes in the tissue.
Targeted Lymphatic work ~
60 minutes $100
Sometimes the lymph is dry or clogged in certain areas of the body. The upper drains, armpits, legs, inguinal valve, neck, etc. may need some targeted work. I will use heat, compressed, cupping, salt and more to get the tissue to soften and open up. We can go by the hour and add more time if needed.
netra basti package of 3 ~
60 minutes each/3 sessions $250
If you are dealing with any eye issues listed to the left above, multiple treatments can be very beneficial. Sometimes one treatment initiates detox of the eyes and more treatments are helpful to resolve deeper issues. One a month for 3 months is a great place to start when incorporating this treatment into your self care.
pinda sweda- Add on $55
Herbs are added to warm rice and wrapped in cloth to make hand held compresses. These are rubbed and tapped across the body to help increase circulation, reduce pain, relax muscles and penetrate warmth to the tissues. You have the option to take these home with you and keep using them for the rest of the day :)
