A deeply relaxing treatment and a rewarding therapy to learn
At AuroraStar Holistic Therapies and Training, we’re passionate about offering holistic treatments that truly nurture the mind, body, and soul, and Indian Head Massage is one of our most beloved therapies. Whether you’re looking to experience it as a client or train in this ancient healing art, this treatment offers profound benefits that go far beyond relaxation.
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that originated in India more than a thousand years ago. Traditionally used to promote health, balance, and vitality, this therapy focuses on the head, neck, shoulders, upper back, and face – areas where we commonly hold tension and stress.
It is traditionally a seated, fully-clothed treatment, making it highly accessible and ideal for those new to bodywork or those who prefer a treatment without oils.
As a therapist this traditional seated style is perfect for offering at events, pamper parties etc as its so portable, all you need is a chair!
Benefits of Indian Head Massage
This nurturing therapy works on both the physical and energetic levels, offering a wide range of benefits:
Relieves stress and anxiety
Eases tension headaches and migraines
Promotes deep relaxation and mental clarity
Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage
Encourages hair and scalp health
Helps with insomnia and fatigue
Stimulates the body’s natural healing processes
Many clients say they leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply grounded.
Indian Head Massage as a Holistic Therapy
What makes Indian Head Massage unique is how it blends physical touch with energetic awareness. It is often used to rebalance the chakras and calm the nervous system, making it a beautiful complement to therapies like Reiki, Reflexology, and Sound Healing.
At AuroraStar, we often integrate it into our ritual-based treatments, as a ‘spa style’ version, (lying on the couch and combining with other treatments such as body/aromatherapy massage, ear candling etc) creating a truly soulful healing experience, and this is how we teach it too!
