Esalen®Massage

The Esalen massage was developed in 1960s, at the Esalen institute in Big Sur, California. Michael Murphy and Dick Price founded the institute as a centre dedicated to explore ‘untapped human potential’. The institute focused on spiritual and personal renewal and incorporated eastern concepts, which were at that time still quite unconventional, assuming that body, mind and soul were connected.

Esalen massage is an eclectic blend of techniques and principles from various disciplines, including Swedish massage, sensory awareness training, craniosacral therapy, applied kinesiology, somatic awareness, among others.

Benefits
One unique benefit of Esalen massage is its ability to awaken the senses and enhance total body awareness. The long, gliding strokes allow individuals the chance to connect more deeply with the self and experience a sense of wholeness. The signature strokes also have a calming effect that helps slow down the body and foster a very deep state of relaxation.
