Reveal your true beauty and inner balance with Gaia’s luxurious Day Spa treatments designed to relax and calm nervous tension, improve mental clarity and support your overall health and wellbeing.
The holistic approach of our 2.5-hour Ayurvedic Journey deeply restores and invigorates the nervous system through the ancient techniques of Abhyanga Oil Massage and Shirodhara Therapy, leaving you in a state of bliss.
Your Ayurvedic practitioner will begin by determining your Dosha based on physical, emotional, mental, and behavioural characteristics. A unique selection of corresponding Ayurveda oils will then be used within your journey.
Throughout your Abhyanga massage, these warm specialised herbal oils, prepared for each constitutional need (your Dosha), enhance the subtle energy points and channels. The oils are applied to your entire body with ancient techniques to provide relaxation, nourishment, and increase circulation. The combination of slow, fast, and kneading strokes, balances, harmonises, purifies, and rejuvenates the body and mind.
You will then gently transition to Shirodhara…a purifying and rejuvenating therapy, designed to eliminate mental exhaustion. This Therapy involves gently pouring warm Black Sesame Oil over the forehead in the location of the third eye (between your eyebrows) continuously and rhythmically, allowing the oil to run through the scalp and into the hair.
The calming effect produced by Shirodhara is similar to that obtained from meditation and is said to be beneficial for regaining inner balance, reducing stress, and reliving nervous tension. Through a renewed sense of calm, you can even enhance focus, increase memory and improve your quality of sleep.
