Ayurvedic treatments offer space and time for peace, warmth and relaxation. We can concentrate on ourselves and the essentials.
The customised massage techniques, oil applications and nutritional recommendations support our self-healing powers. We can let go of what we don't need (anymore) and experience more freedom, flexibility and pleasure.
