Designed to profoundly relax, restore and uplift your mind, body and soul, this two hour experience is a luxurious and ancient approach to health and wellness that was once the exclusive domain of the Kings, Queens and High Priests of the Vedic society. With our unique unison approach you have the full attention of two therapists working in harmony. This tandem effect is deeply relaxing and soothing leaving you profoundly rested as well as radiantly refreshed, cleansed and purified.
Your 2-hour treatment will start with an Abhyanga massage, followed by your choice of either Shirodhara or Swedana, ending with hot towelling.
Ayurvedic Elemental Pulse Reading
Ian Hayward is a highly experienced Panchakarma therapist and wellness consultant and has been practising pulse reading for over 30 years.
By placing three fingers on the radial artery on the wrist, he can accurately determine your exact elemental make up (Dosha). Each element has its unique mental, physical and emotional characteristics, which will explain the forces and energies that make you who you are. Balances and imbalances can be determined by pulse reading, enabling Ian to make practical recommendations, techniques, and approaches for each aspect of your life to bring balance and harmony.
An immersive Vedic sound bath experience designed to help you relax, rejuvenate and restore inner balance. The session is led by Ian who is a trained and experienced practitioner in the use of Himalayan singing bowls. Using authentic, ancient techniques, he delivers a tailored sound bath to balance the chakras, reduce stress levels, promote concentration, ease depression and anxiety and help you to sleep better.
Designed to suit your unique personal needs, the session uses various techniques and approaches to create your own soundscape. Bowls will be placed around your body at specific points as well as having bowls placed on your body to connect directly with the vibration and frequencies of the bowls.
