— THE CARE YOU'VE BEEN MISSING
An Ancient Ritual of Women's Care
Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic warm oil practice that uses long, flowing strokes to soothe the nervous system and encourage deep relaxation. Herbal oils are worked into the body to ease tension, support circulation, and nourish the skin.
The experience is deeply grounding, helping you feel balanced and restored. Rooted in centuries of Ayurvedic tradition, abhyanga is a profoundly nourishing form of self-care that can support a woman through all seasons of life.Women's Health · Fertility · Pregnancy · Postpartum— OIL, TAILORED TO EVERY WOMAN

— WHAT ABHYANGA LOOKS LIKE
Your Abyanga Session,
Step by Step
Every session follows a thoughtful rhythm, moving through each stage at a pace that honors your needs.
Breathwork
Throughout the session, space is held for intentional breathing—a chance to slow down, turn inward, and truly connect with what your body needs.
Lymphatic Drainage
When appropriate, gentle lymphatic techniques may be used to support circulation and natural fluid movement, offering an uplifting sense of ease in the body.
Abhyanga
This is the heart of your session. Warm herbal oils are applied to the body in long, flowing strokes to soothe tension and calm the nervous system.
Lasting Nourishment
The nourishment continues beyond your session, as the warm oils help you move into the rest of your day feeling soft, glowing, and grounded.

● QUESTIONS WE HEAR A LOT
What You Might Be Wondering
-
Ayurveda is a traditional system of Indian medicine with roots dating back over 5,000 years. The word comes from Sanskrit and translates to "the science of life" — a holistic science that seeks to harmonize body, mind, spirit, and environment.
-
Abhyanga is distinct from a traditional deep tissue or therapeutic massage. Rooted in Ayurveda, it is the intentional application of warm herbal oil to the body with the purpose of nourishing the skin, supporting the tissues, and inviting deep rest. Rather than focusing on muscle manipulation, abhyanga uses gentle, flowing movements to encourage relaxation, circulation, and a deeper connection with the body. This grounding, full-body session may also include optional abdominal work.
-
Ayurveda views the first forty-two days after childbirth as a vital window for rest, healing, nourishment, and bonding between mother and baby. The Sacred Window calls for attentive, individualized care to deeply support mothers as they recover and enter new parenthood.
-
As soon as you're feeling ready. Traditionally, mothers receive abhyanga within the first week postpartum following a vaginal delivery.
After a cesarean birth, full-body Abhyanga is typically introduced around 10–14 days postpartum, depending on your individual healing and readiness. Lymphatic support and the application of warm oil to the hands and feet is often appropriate in the early days following a c-section. Each session is adapted to support your recovery, and the incision area is avoided until it has healed.
-
Absolutely — and many moms do. If you'd rather have the hour entirely to yourself, that's wonderful too.
-
If your menstrual cycle has returned, abhyanga is best received after days 1-3 of your cycle. If you’re preparing to conceive, abhyanga is best received during the follicular phase before ovulation.
For your comfort, please have a pair of socks and clothes that you don’t mind getting oily. It’s recommended to allow the oil to absorb into your skin after your session before showering.
-
We recommend eating a light meal at least 20 minutes before your session begins. Wear something comfy, and give yourself a few unhurried minutes to arrive.
-
Abhyanga isn't recommended during acute illness, congestion, or fever; in areas of inflammation, infection, or open skin; or with certain conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure. Please let us know about any health conditions before booking.
