The body as the gateway to relaxation
A calming, healing, harmonizing experience which leaves the individual with a sense of tranquillity and well being. A first consultation will often determine the individual’s precise needs. A complete course will allow body and mind to unwind, revitalize and assist in any healing process as well as preventative care.

Deep Tissue – Neuromuscular Massage
If you’ve been overdoing it in the gym or through strenuous work commitments, this could be the ideal treatment for you. This massage penetrates deep into the muscle tissue, going beyond the exterior layers of the muscle to resolve any points of tension.
For pain relief, NMT is a special deep tissue massage technique to help relieve pain. Although it works at a deep level to relieve tightness, muscular tension and pain, scar tissue in the muscles it is NOT painful but “hurts so good”.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is a form of thermal hydro-therapy. Using smooth, warmed, heat-retaining stones as extensions of the hands, clients receiving a well-administered hot stone massage will seek it again and again. For some, stone therapy brings unrivaled deep tissue release and alignment. For others, the heat of the stones gently softens muscular tension and melts away emotional stress. On a spiritual plane, the stones are from the earth and have an extremely grounding quality adored by many. Grounding can be very helpful to individuals struggling with issues related to sleep, headaches, dizziness, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed or scattered.

The heat of the stones, combined with the soothing gliding massage movements, warms and relaxes the muscles to a much greater extent than what can be achieved by massage alone.

Sports Massage
Anyone who exercises on a regular basis could benefit from this treatment. The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension, which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.
Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. The massage will help to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility, to prevent injuries and, in the case of sports people, prepare for peak performance. Sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete, a once a week jogger or just physically active.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
A feather light massage designed to activate the lymphatic system, has proven successful in the case of stagnation of lymph flow. This smooth and harmonious massage helps remove painful swelling and promote healing. Massage can be done post surgery upon the referral of a physician. Effective for cosmetic surgery, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty and lymph node removal.

Traditional thai massage
This unique form of massage (also known as yoga massage) has been handed down through centuries. Based on the application of pressure along the energy lines of the body, together with stretching of muscles, this massage stimulates energy flow and eases muscles, replacing tension and stress with a feeling of energy and peace. Thai massage is performed on a clothed body on the mat on the floor rather than on a raised table, the therapist uses her hands, feet and elbows. I recommend you wear a T shirt and shorts.

Thai hot herbal massage
Experience this traditional Thai therapy, unchanged since the 18th century, when organic poultices filled with aromatic herbs were administrated to soldiers returning home with muscle aches and bruises. The balancing poultices used today open pores and release a deep medicinal heat to the muscles to release tension and revitalize your spirit.

Barefoot Massage- Chavuti Thai
Is a new and luxurious form of deep tissue body massage performed with the feet. Barefoot massage has been practiced in Asia for over 3,000 years and it evolved through Tibet, China, Thailand and Japan. This is a full body oil massage which begins with Traditional Thai twists and stretches design to open and relax your body. The therapist then holds onto a rope suspended above their head and applies warm therapeutic oil with bare feet using long deep rhythmical strokes. During a session the charka and meridian lines in the body are massaged releasing blocked energy making you feel light and refreshed and energezied.
This facilitates a deep muscle flush, deeper relaxation of the muscles and nervous system, release of lactic acid and metabolic waste at deeper levels than table massage, release of deep trigger points (hyper-irritable muscle spots), and deep adhesions that impair full muscle range and function.

In the case of Chavutti Thirumal a recommended commitment is for a ten session treatment plan. If one can organise it, a once a day for ten days plan makes an extraordinarily effective cleansing, energising and revitalising regime and if combined with appropriate diet can feel as if you have just returned from a month's holiday in paradise!

The effects of sound on the mind and body has been known for centuries in many native cultures and has been scientifically documented in modern times.
