Marma Massage Therapy
Ayurvedic Marma Massage Therapy is an ancient healing practice rooted in the wisdom of Ayurveda and the principles of Kalari martial arts from southern India. This technique focuses on stimulating marma points—vital energy centers discovered by early Kalari masters—to support physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Having had the privilege of studying under teachers trained by these great masters, I apply this profound knowledge with skill and care, ensuring an authentic and deeply therapeutic experience. Through gentle, precise pressure on the marma points, this therapy relieves stress, enhances circulation, and encourages the free flow of prana (life energy), leaving you balanced, rejuvenated, and grounded.

"Garshana" means rubing or friction and is an ayurvedic massage that refreshes and stimulates the skin and lymphatic system. It enhances blood circulation and the release of accumulated toxins. Traditionally this is performed by using raw silk gloves and is a powerful way to support the removal of cellular waste products from the body. As it encourages movement and drainage of excess mucus this treatment is especially recommended in springtime and for people with symptoms such as fatigue, sluggishness, feeling physical or mental dullness, constipation or a strained immune system.
We combine the garshana and the russian tibetan honey massage for an even deeper detoxing effect. The honey treatment on your back allows to reach deep tissues, withdraw toxins and reaches deep knots and tensions.
