What to expect

A great care is taken in creating a warm, safe and relaxing environment for you. On arrival we will have a short consultation before we start.

Chavutti Thirumal is performed on a mat on the floor. Most of the massage is performed with the feet with some light stretches and manipulations. The massage uses plenty of oil. I use coconut oil and/or sesame oil by preference, please let me know in advance if you have a sensitivity to these.

A distinction of this type of massage is that, rather than being completely covered by towels, a small sheet is used to maintain the your modesty leaving most of the body exposed. This allows me to perform the full body strokes without interrupting the flow of the massage. If you are not totally comfortable with this you will be offered disposable underwear and may request to have your breasts covered when laying on your back.

Massage promotes a deep level of relaxation as the body softens and opens. Occasionally people may experience an emotional release and this is quite natural. By the end of the massage most people enter a deeply restful state.

Upon receiving a massage it will take a while for the bodies energies to integrate. It is advisable to give yourself time and space after the massage to be in quiet and to receive this important integration. It is equally important to rest well and drink plenty of water in order to help the release of toxins from your body.
