Whether you’re seeking relief after a long day, want to support sleep quality or simply want to unwind, our practitioners deliver a tailored and calming experience every time.

What is an Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, is a traditional therapy that involves rhythmic massage to the scalp, head, neck, shoulders and upper back. This style of massage has been practised for thousands of years and focuses on releasing tension at key muscular and acupressure points to support both physical and mental relaxation.

Unlike full-body massage, Indian Head Massage specifically targets the upper body areas that often become tight from stress, long hours at a desk or everyday life demands, making it ideal for anyone seeking relief from tension and mental fatigue.

How Our Indian Head Massage Techniques Work

During your session, our therapist will apply a variety of gentle yet effective massage techniques to:

Release muscle tension in the neck, shoulders and upper back
Stimulate scalp circulation to promote relaxation and wellbeing
Loosen knots and tight connective tissue
Calm the nervous system and encourage deep relaxation

The combination of pressure, kneading and rhythmic strokes helps to ease stress, improve blood flow and create a grounded sense of calm. Clients often describe the experience as deeply tranquil — almost meditative.

What to Expect During Your Indian Head Massage Appointment

You can then choose to be seated or lie down comfortably.

Throughout the session, your therapist will:

Warm and relax the muscles with gentle kneading
Use pressure and rhythmic movements on the scalp, neck and shoulders
Focus on stress points to help ease tension and improve circulation
Finish with calming touch to encourage deep relaxation
