INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic practice used in India for 1,000 years, usually by mothers on their daughters. It is part of the practice of medicine called Ayurveda, which aims to promote long life and balance the body's energies. It was often used with spices and herbs that would promote good health and skin.

I qualified in Indian Head Massage in 2016 and offer this service as compliment to my infant feeding role for the well-being of new mothers.
