Amnanda, Marma and Life Balance
The Amnanda family of treatments is a collection of traditional Ayurvedic therapies developed by Ayurvedic master Baba Ramdas Swami, which are designed to support healing, transformation, and rejuvenation on physical, emotional and energetic levels. Each treatment has a unique purpose but they all share the goal of restoring balance, vitality and clarity. They can stand alone or be integrated into a larger healing journey. The therapies are deeply respectful of the body's pace and wisdom, making them accessible to people at all stages of healing.

What can I expect in the first sesion?
Each session begins with an informal chat to establish what is going on in the client's life and how treatment can help them, and if not already established, which is best to achieve their goal. Clients are then invited to remove clothing and lie on the treatment bed. For both Amnanda and Life Balance it is ideal if clients undress to just their lower underwear, but for Marma it is only necessary to bare the part of the body that hurts.
Following treatment payment is taken, further appointments are made and any between appoinment requirements discussed. At all times you are free to ask questions.
How long does treatment usually last?
In the case of both Amnanda and Life Balance treatments lasts for 12 months, however Marma can be just one treatment or however many are require to achieve relief.
How is Amnanda different from other tyoes of massage or therapy?
