Traditional Ayurvedic Treatments
Shirodhara
Shirodhara is the application of a warm medicated oil streamed continuously over the Third-Eye or Ajna (6th) Chakra. The technique of Shirodhara, which means flow over the head, soothes, nourishes, and calms the senses especially the mind. It is recommended for all stress, especially mental stress, including an overactive mind, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, chronic headaches, and PTSD. It's very supportive for those who have difficulty slowing down.
Shirodhara is an effective treatment for relaxation, improving memory, and nourishing the hair and scalp. It assists in providing sound sleep and calms the body and mind. It’s wonderful for reducing stress and nervous tension and is a deeply healing treatment. Here at Vibrance Ayurveda, we use the ShiroBliss system. This process enables you to drop into a deep altered state where your mind and body can relax and reorganize itself. The treatment begins with a head, neck, and face massage, including the application of Marma Therapy, with the flow of oil streaming for about 20 minutes, and ends with a grounding foot massage.
As with any deeply sedating therapy or practice, we recommend you refrain from any and all unnecessary media after the treatment and engage only in life-affirming activities; in other words, if you can, please take the rest of the day off and relax!

Netra Basti - Eye Treatment
A gift for your tired eyes. We bathe your eyes in ghee to promote the relaxation of the muscles and clarity of vision. It sounds odd, but feels amazing! We invite you to give this treatment a try if you spend hours on a computer or simply have tired or strained eyes.
1 hour - $145
Kati Basti - Low Back Treatment
Your lower back never had it so good! Kati Basti is a special treatment to relieve pain in the lower lumbar region. Warm, medicated oils designed to reduce inflammation and promote circulation are bathed over the affected area and held in place by a dam. During the treatment, Marma points (energy centers) on the back are massaged to support full healing of the back. Afterward, a full back massage is done and warm towels are applied to bring warmth and support for the oils to go even deeper.
1 hour - $155
Nabhi Basti - Navel Treatment/Supports Belly & Digestion
This is an amazing healing treatment that nurtures the Nabhi, a central Marma point (subtle energy point) where all of the pathways of the body (called Nadi's, which are the subtle energy channels, think meridians) converge. This is a very important center point, it's the center of us and resides between our 2nd and 3rd chakras. Warm medicated oils are held in a dough dam, which helps strengthen digestion and absorption and supports the release of deep-seated emotions stored in this area. It helps relieve digestive disturbances such as IBS, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and anorexia.
1 hour - $145
Hrid Basti - Heart Chakra Treatment
This nurturing treatment supports the healing of both the physical and emotional/energetic heart. A warm medicated milk bathes the center of your chest, around the heart and heart chakra, and allows for the release of deep-seated emotions and trauma. Because of this, I usually recommend working with me first, so I can assess the right timing to receive this powerful treatment.
1 hour - $155
Nasya Treatment - Sinus/Nasal Passage Treatment
This therapeutic treatment clears and nourishes the sinuses and can help reverse deep and chronic dryness that is the root of many respiratory, central nervous system, and allergic conditions. This treatment is recommended for anyone suffering from allergies, snoring, sinusitis, tinnitus, sleep apnea, headaches, and ear aches. It can also bring relief to tension in the head, neck, and shoulders as well as bring calm, clarity, and focus to the mind.
45 min. - $125
Karna Purana - Ear Oiling + Ear Candling
Ear oiling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice of applying warm oil, often medicated with herbs, to the ear canal. It's a very soothing experience and excellent for our modern times with the use of mobile phones and those exposed to loud noises and/or consistent noise pollution in their daily life. Oiling the ears can reduce dryness and itching, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and has been shown to support the reduction of cognitive decline as we age. It also supports the loosening and reduction of built-up earwax. If ear wax build-up is a reason for seeking out this treatment, we recommend 2 candles per ear to receive the most benefit. Ear candling has supported the healing of vertigo.
45 min. - $85 for Ear Oiling + Candling; $20/additional candle
Pinda Swedana - Warm Oil Applied to Body & Joints Using a Poultice
Pinda Swedana is a unique therapy where a poultice is soaked in medicated oil and used for fomentation (heat therapy). This improves circulation and helps relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness. It also helps relieve musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain, strengthens immunity, and increases blood circulation. Benefits include strengthening the back and spine, reducing pain and swelling, reducing stiffness and inflammation, increasing circulation, and thus improving the functioning of the joints. It’s also highly beneficial for arthritis, paralysis, body pain and numbness, degenerative diseases, and Neuromuscular diseases.

Traditional Ayurvedic Body Therapies
Abhyanga Massage
It's ALL about the Oil... ahhhh. In Sanskrit, the word for oiling the body is Snehana, which means "To Love, To Be Nurtured."
This is a far cry from your typical massage! It focuses on applying warm, herbal medicated oils to the body with long strokes, which creates deep relaxation. It also encourages lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, stimulates the immune system, and eliminates toxins. It’s grounding and pacifying to the nervous system, moisturizing and nurturing, not just the skin, but All tissues in the body.
Lipid soluble oils are used so the body can take them in through the skin like a nutritious meal. While the muscles get some yummy relaxation, the focus of this massage is to integrate the whole body/mind, move the lymph and relax the nervous system.
We have chosen to offer a 2-hour version only as we've found it to be the most beneficial for deep relaxation, which is what this treatment is all about!
Single Therapist: 2 hours $290
Note: Abhyanga was often traditionally performed with two therapists for the greatest benefit, however, it's not always possible to provide this version of the service. The single therapist version is quite lovely and makes it practical for our clients to receive it regularly. When available, we do offer the traditional 4-handed service.
Ushma Swedana - Herbal Steam**
This service is a special herbal fomentation, or steam canopy therapy, which can be applied following an Abhyanga, as an add-on service, to aid in the absorption and assimilation of the medicated oils as well as the elimination of toxins through sweat.
Traditional Ayurvedic texts suggest that steam therapy should be performed with the patient lying down comfortably, with the head and neck exposed, rather than in the tent. This prevents overheating and allows for thorough detoxification and absorption.
Herbs and aromatherapy oils are selected per the client's needs. This treatment leaves you smelling and feeling great!
**Contraindicated for pregnant and menstruating women and people with high heat conditions**
Add on to Abhyanga or Abhyanga/Shirodhara combination (not available as a stand-alone treatment).
