Deep Rest Treatment 

This treatment is 90 minutes of pure bliss. The antidote for a fried or frazzled nervous system.

It begins with a very slow, rhythmic full body oiling. Followed by a rose petal-oat scrub on the back and arms and hot towels. Continuing with the slow, rhythmic oiling on the front of the body, hot towels, and ending with a head massage and shirodhara.

Shirodhara is a continuous stream of warm oil on the forehead which is deeply nourishing and relaxing to the mind.  

The Details:

  • Deep Rest Treatment is offered in person at Stillpoint in downtown Belfast, Maine.

  • The treatment is done without clothing on a heated massage table with a towel for modesty.  

     

  • The purpose of the treatment is NOT to manipulate muscles and "massage" but cover the body in the herbal oil and work the oil into the body.  The oil is the healer.  

     

  • At the end of the treatment I use warm towels to wipe away the excess oil from your body.  This part of the treatment is divine.

     

  • When the treatment is done, your hair will be extremely oily.  I recommend bringing a hat, bandana or scarf that you don't mind getting oily to cover your head afterwards.

  • I BELIEVE IN ACCESSIBILITY, SO I OFFER A sliding scale of $140-$190 per session.
