Vata Season THerapy (fall/early winter) 

Key words: Warming, Grounding, Nourishing, Nervous System Soothing, Deep Rest

This therapy is 90 minutes of pure bliss. The antidote for a fried or frazzled nervous system.

It begins with a very slow, rhythmic full body oiling. Followed by a rose petal-oat scrub on the back and hot towels. Continuing with the slow, rhythmic oiling on the front of the body, warm castor oil on the feet, hot towels, and ending with oiling of the marma points (energy centers) of the face and head.

* ask me about adding a shirodhara making this a 2 hour treatment. Email me for info on this kristen@nourishednervoussystem.com

The Details:

  • Vata Season Therapy is offered in person In Belfast, Me.

  • The THerapy is done without clothing on a heated massage table with a towel for modesty.  

     

  • The purpose of the therapy is NOT to manipulate muscles and "massage" but to cover the body in the herbal oil and work the oil into the body.  The oil is the healer.  

     

  • At the end of the therapy I use warm towels to wipe away the excess oil from your body.  This part is divine.

     

  • When the therapy is done, your hair will be extremely oily.  I recommend bringing a hat, bandana or scarf that you don't mind getting oily to cover your head afterwards.

  • I BELIEVE IN ACCESSIBILITY, SO I OFFER A sliding scale of $125-$165 per 90 minute session.

  • $175-$200 for 120 minute session with full shirodhara (you can book this by reaching out to me by email kristen@nourishednervoussystem.com)
