Marma (meaning “hidden” or “secret” in Sanskrit) are vital points in the body where tremendous energy or prana resides. Often, these points are blocked with impurities and toxins that build up through the stress and strains of daily life, unhealthy eating habits and more. The marma points are opened, cleansed and stimulated with using rhythmic, circular movement and herbal oils blended to your particular constitution and imbalances. A subtle and delicate treatment, marma points massage can provide a deep sense of calm, rejuvenation and awareness.
Marma Therapy is an ancient Ayurvedic healing technique that manipulates 107 vital energy points on the body where muscles, nerves, bones, and joints intersect. By stimulating these points using gentle pressure and specific essential oils, it releases energy blockages, balances doshas, and activates the body’s natural healing abilities.
