We also offer a range of sequences to choose from including foot reflexology with an Ayurvedic foot bath that balances all three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). We allow the session to take its course in an organic timeframe (around 90 minutes) and always follow up on the treatment with suggestions for continued self-healing.

'Marma points are vital energy points on the surface of the body and they are an important element of Ayurveda's healing power. Marma Therapy, developed in India centuries ago, has the potential to profoundly affect the body, mind and spirit and can facilitate the deepest levels of healing. Prana (Life Force Energy) is the current of energy that infuses every cell within the body. Stimulating Marma points directly taps into this reservoir of energy and promotes health.'
('Marma Points of Ayurveda' by Vasant Lad & Arnisha Durve, Ayurvedic Press 2008)

It is very interesting! My back seems to improve quite fast now that the tensions and stresses in neck and shoulder have been relieved and rebalanced with the Marma treatment. It is a healing from the surrounding areas inwards. Thank you!

I have been coming to Maja for Marma Therapy for over a year now. I LOVE Marma. Not only do I find it deeply relaxing and restorative it has been hugely beneficial in relieving pain in my neck and shoulders in a way other modalities have not. Now I book a session whenever I am feeling stiff or sore or simply when I want to offer myself something nourishing. Thanks for what you do Maja.
