What your Shirodhara looks like:

Your choice of location. Outdoor on the deck of Princess Leia's Pond or inside the Massage Studio - located inside of the Bed + Breakfast Tiny Cabin. Permitting weather, the outdoor session may end up inside or rescheduled at your preference according to weather.

The treatment begins with a powerful aromatherapy inhalation session to activate the senses and energy centers. Over 20 essential oils to choose fromA brief foot and hand massage further activates energy centers and relieves stress. The scalp is stimulated to prepare to receive Shirodhara. The oil is poured in a unique ancient flow pattern for eight to ten minutes to stimulate forehead nerve nodes and balance the pituitary and pineal glands. Following the oil flow, guests indulge in a moment of total silence before a final head and scalp massage to complete the treatment with a state of happiness and mental clarity. This treatment ends with a nice head and scalp massage. Since the Shirodhara oil is custom-made and very beneficial for the hair and scalp, it is recommended to leave it in for 2 to 24 hours after the service.

What is Shirodhara?

The queen of Ayurvedic body treatments, this ancient therapy aims to harmonize the body, mind, senses, and soul.

The Shirodhara Bodywork Treatment can synchronize alpha brain waves, blast open your third eye, stimulate circulation, improve mental clarity, release toxins, stress, and tension. A traditional therapy for insomnia, memory loss, and mental tensions such as anxiety, worry, depression, and exhaustion. It is also highly beneficial for hormonal balance, headaches, infertility, premature greying, baldness, conditions of the head/neck, as well as awakening cognitive vision. Overall, it works on a deep level that is incredibly stress-relieving and balancing to the glandular and nervous systems.

After a luxurious abhyanga body oleation, a continual stream of warm, herbalized sesame oil is poured over the third eye and forehead to instill deep relaxation and a blissful, meditative state of mind.

Includes scalp massage, so prepare to leave with oil in your hair. It is recommended to leave the oil for 24 hours, so we recommend bringing a hair tie or hat to wear home. Prepare your bed pillow accordingly, as oil can stain.
