A Brief History
The Hindi word for head massage is & quot; Champi & quot; and aspects of the treatment have a long tradition in Indian families. Mothers would stroke their daughter's hair to promote its growth and health.

What does it involve?
On the first visit an initial consultation is undertaken to discuss your medical history, lifestyle, stress and energy levels. You can remove your upper body clothing (a sarong is provided). However, you can remain dressed, if you prefer, as the massage can be performed effectively through clothing, but it is more beneficial and relaxing if oil is used. Massage oil will be applied to your upper back to intensify the massage. The treatment commences using a blend of essential oils.
How much does it cost?
Normally the treatment lasts about 40 mins at a cost of �20.00, however, the treatment can be tailored to suit your requirements.
And remember, if up to 80% of illness is stress related, then doesn't it seem a good place to start?
