Champissage

What is Champissage?

Champissage, possibly derived from the term chāmpi, the Hindi and Urdu term for the practice and massage, also known as Indian Head Massage. IHM is a 4000+ year practice based on ancient Ayurvedic form of Indian massage focusing on the scalp, face and has naturally incorporated energy work clearing out the upper chakras (crown, third-eye, throat).

I incorporate many of the same techniques as reflexology therefore having all of the benefits. It is a massage focusing on the face, scalp, ears, neck, and back. This treatment also included work on the calves and feet.
