Ayurvedic
Mini-Retreat
Massage Shirodhara Herbal Steam
A deeply immersive trio of therapies inspired by the traditions of Ayurveda and the cleansing, rejuvenating practices of Panchakarma—India’s ancient system of holistic healing. Designed to restore balance on every level, this experience offers a powerful reset for body, mind, and spirit.
Your retreat begins with a 90-minute Integrative Therapeutic Massage, incorporating elements of Ayurvedic massage with the use of warm oils to nourish tissues, ground the nervous system, and stimulate detoxification. From there, you’ll transition into Shirodhara, a profoundly calming therapy in which a steady stream of warm oil flows across the forehead, inviting stillness and mental clarity. The session concludes with Svedana, a therapeutic steam treatment that encourages gentle sweating to open the pores, release toxins, and promote deep relaxation.
Step into this sacred ritual of renewal—and return to the world restored, realigned, and deeply at peace.
Shirodhara
Blissful Mind Treatment
Shirodhara is a profoundly calming treatment rooted in the ancient healing tradition of Ayurveda, in which a continuous stream of warm oil is gently poured across the forehead, coming to rest between the brows over the third eye center. This steady, rhythmic flow helps guide the mind into a meditative stillness—easing mental strain, reducing nervous system overactivity, and supporting a deep emotional and energetic reset.
Each session begins with a full integrative therapeutic massage—based on the selected service length—to ground the body and prepare the nervous system for the stillness to follow.
The Shirodhara treatment itself typically lasts around 30 minutes, allowing ample time for the oil’s gentle warmth and continuous flow to draw the awareness inward.
Considered one of Ayurveda’s most transformative therapies, Shirodhara is especially beneficial for those experiencing anxiety, sleep disturbances, mental exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection. The experience can feel otherworldly—an invitation to drift beyond the conscious mind and return renewed.
Please Note: This treatment uses a generous amount of warm oil, especially through the hair and scalp. While the oil is deeply nourishing to the hair and follicles, it will leave the hair saturated. Towels are provided for squeeze drying the hair, but shower facilities are not available onsite, and it’s recommended to plan to return home afterward to rinse and relax.
Supportive For:
Calming the nervous system
Easing mental fatigue or overwhelm
Supporting emotional balance and clarity
Enhancing sleep and restfulness • Relieving symptoms of anxiety and burnout
Cultivating inner stillness and peace
Svedana
Herbal Steam Therapy
Svedana is a deeply grounding herbal steam therapy rooted in classical Ayurveda, performed at the end of your massage while you remain comfortably on the table. A gentle, aromatic steam surrounds the body, helping to open the pores, encourage a light sweat, and release deep-seated tension and toxins.
The head remains cool while the body is warmed, allowing the nervous system to stay calm and relaxed. This subtle contrast supports clarity, balance, and a sense of refreshed lightness. Svedana complements bodywork beautifully by enhancing circulation, reducing stagnation, and extending the benefits of your massage.
A tranquil and restorative way to close your session—especially following Shirodhara—this therapy invites a deep sense of purification, physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Supportive For:
Promoting detoxification and lymphatic flow
Enhancing circulation and reducing stagnation
Calming the nervous system while gently heating the body
Releasing muscular and energetic tension
Supporting clarity, balance, and emotional reset
Extending the benefits of massage or Shirodhara
Pinda Sveda
Thai Herbal Compress
Pinda Sveda is a traditional Thai therapy that combines rhythmic massage with the penetrating warmth of herbal compresses. Warm bundles filled with time-honored Thai herbs—such as lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, and kaffir lime—are gently applied in flowing motions to relax the body, soothe inflammation, and restore energetic balance.
As the compresses are pressed along the body, they release their natural oils into the skin, infusing tissues with the herbs’ therapeutic properties. The comforting heat and aromatic infusion help to melt muscular tension, reduce stiffness, and support the body’s natural detoxification process.
This immersive experience nourishes both body and mind—easing discomfort, enhancing circulation, and inviting a deep sense of calm.
