Holistic Bodywork
At Casa de Alegria we offer a variety of Holistic Bodywork for your health and happiness.
Indian Head Massage
This is a massage to the head, neck, shoulders, and face. Marma points are stimulated during the massage to balance the body’s energy channels and help to remove any blockages. This helps relieve headaches, eye strain, nasal congestion, stress, anxiety, lethargy, depression, insomnia, and fatigue. It gives greater creativity, clarity of thought and concentration, and promotes restful sleep whilst strengthening the immune system and encouraging strong, healthy, and shiny hair.
The importance of massage featured regularly in the earliest Ayurvedic texts, dating back almost 4000 years. Massage plays an important part in Indian family life, praised for its therapeutic benefits and believed to maintain good health. Indian Head Massage was first brought to the West in the 1970s by Narendra Mehta.
The word AYURVEDA means AYUR – life or longevity and VEDA – knowledge or science (not chemicals, herbs and spices). Ayurveda works on 2 principles:
1. Body and mind are connected.
2. Mind is powerful enough to heal the body.

Reiki
Reiki is a gentle fully clothed therapy that aids relaxation. When the body is relaxed, this can help us to become aware of tension and emotional holding patterns in our bodies and allows us the time and space to release and rejuvenate ourselves. Reiki can alleviate pain in the body, relieve depression, anxiety and promotes sleep.
This system of holistic therapy was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. The practitioner uses the life force energy that surrounds each of us. The Japanese word ‘Reiki’ literally translates as ‘universal life force energy’. Reiki has been taught and used in Europe since the late 1900s, but Eastern medicine has for thousands of years worked with this energy, recognising its flow through all living things.
