Ayurvedic Treatments
Classical treatments for the body, nervous system, and natural vitality
The Ayurvedic Oasis
A private space where classical Ayurvedic care is delivered with unhurried attention and genuine intention. Every detail — the environment, the oils, the pace — supports nervous system regulation and meaningful restoration.
Many come for relief.
Most discover it opens a door they didn't know was there.
Foundational Treatments
You're ready. This is where it begins.
Two ways in — both unhurried, fully personalized, and designed to meet you exactly where you are. Choose the one that calls to you.
Abhyanga (uhb-YUN-guh) - The Foundation of Ayurvedic Bodywork
There is a reason Abhyanga has been practiced for thousands of years. Not as a luxury — as medicine.
Warm herbal oils, chosen for your specific constitution, are worked into the body in long, rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of your nervous system. The effect is cumulative and unmistakable — tension releases not just from muscle but from the places the body stores what the mind won't let go of.
The first session is also a conversation. Through touch, presence, and observation, we begin to understand your system before recommending what comes next.
You leave different than you arrived. Most people feel it before they can name it.
Shirodhara (sheer-oh-DAH-rah) – The Healing Flow of Stillness
For those who already sense they need something more.
A hypnotic cascade of warm herbal oil poured continuously over the forehead, stimulating the pineal gland and vagus nerve, guiding the mind into a deep meditative state. The body releases first — then the mind follows.
This is where the nervous system finally lets go.
Includes Abhyanga.
Additional Foundation Treatments
These classical treatments are the cornerstone of Ayurvedic bodywork — warm, rhythmic, and fully personalized to your constitution.
Udvartana (ood-VAR-tuh-nuh) – Herbal Exfoliation for Vitality
An invigorating herbal powder blend, massaged into the skin to awaken circulation, refresh the senses, and clear heaviness. This traditional practice stimulates lymphatic flow and supports renewal.
Shiro-Abhyanga (sheer-oh uhb-YUN-guh) – Ayurvedic Head, Neck & Shoulder Renewal
A deeply grounding experience that melts away stress from the head, neck, and shoulders with warm herbal oils, restoring clarity, calmness, and ease.
Preparation & Restorative Heat
These treatments prepare and restore the body — supporting circulation, lymphatic flow, and deeper integration of the work.
Available as add-ons to your session.
Swedana (sweh-DAH-nuh)– Herbal Steam for Purification
A deeply warming experience where herbal-infused steam envelops the body, encouraging gentle detoxification, relaxation, and metabolic balance.
Garshana (gar-SHAH-nuh)– Silk Glove Stimulation for Detox & Circulation
A dry-brushing technique using raw silk gloves to stimulate circulation, exfoliate the skin, and encourage detoxification. Often performed before Abhyanga to awaken the body and prepare for deeper restoration.
Lavender-Infused Warm Towels
A sensory moment of stillness, where steamed towels infused with calming lavender help melt away tension and soften the senses.
