Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you massage?
We work across the scalp, temples, neck, shoulders and upper back. Pressure and techniques are adjusted to target your key tension points.
Will oils be used?
Light, natural oil is optional. We can keep it completely dry, and fragrance-free options are available. If oil is used, your hair may feel soft afterwards.
Is the massage done seated?
Yes, typically in a supportive chair for comfort and access. A treatment couch can be used on request. We will position you for easy breathing and good posture.
Is Indian head massage safe in pregnancy?
Generally suitable from the second trimester. Please tell us if you are pregnant so we can adapt pressure and positioning. If you have complications, seek guidance from your midwife.
What should I wear to the appointment?
You stay clothed. A vest or T-shirt works best, and low collars allow better access. Remove necklaces and large earrings, and we protect clothing if oil is used.
