In Sanskrit the word for oil is “sneha”, which is also the same word used to describe tender aection and love. The eects of Abhyanga are similar to the eect of saturation with love. Or to be embraced by love. Both experiences can give us the feeling of warmth, stability and comfort.
Abhyanga massage is a gift to yourself as a ritual of self love and care. It has been known to ease our bodies of tension and pain, our minds left calm by the repetitive soothing and therapeutic touch over the whole body, with added benefits of better sleep, stress reduction and improved circulation.

Reiki is a Japanese practice developed in 1922. The word Reiki means Universal
Energy. (REI = Universal Force KI = Energy) Reiki helps activate the body’s natural
ability to heal itself by creating an energy exchange or Ki (also known as Qi or
prana) through the hands of the practitioner to the client. Working in conjunction
with the meridian energy lines and chakras, the Ki energy flows to where it’s
needed most, removing blocks in the energy flow, cleansing toxins from the body
and creating a natural state of balance.
