Shiro—which means “head” in Sanskrit—is an Ayurvedic massage that focuses on the scalp, face, neck, and sometimes the upper back. Performed while seated or lying down, it promotes deep relaxation of the nervous system and a true sense of inner reconnection. The warm oil used is Brahmi oil, derived from an Ayurvedic plant renowned for its calming effects on the mind; for those who prefer, these treatments can also be performed without oil.
Shiro provides a rejuvenating break and is particularly recommended for mental overload, nervous exhaustion, or sleep disorders.

A gentle, slow massage, using pressure and rotation, performed on the Marma points of the skull, face, neck and upper body. This energetic treatment aims to balance the subtle circulation of prana (vital energy) while deeply calming the mind. It can be performed seated or lying down, with or without oil. It's ideal for regaining clarity, centeredness and inner calm.
Shiro Udara (Head and Abdomen – 1 hour 30 minutes) – Price: 230.-
This treatment combines a deep abdominal massage (Udara) performed while lying down, followed by a Shiro treatment in a seated or lying position.
