Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates as Life-Knowledge, it is one of the world’s oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems originating more than 5,000 years ago in India, and is known as the Medicine of the Gods. According to Ayurvedic theory, everything in the universe — living or not — is connected. Good health is achieved when your mind, body, and spirit are in harmony with the universe. A disruption of this harmony can lead to poor health and sickness. The primary focus of Ayurvedic medicine is to promote good health, rather than fight disease. However, treatments are also recommended for specific health problems. The Ayurvedic treatments we offer here at Mookshi are just a few of the diverse therapies available through the Ayurvedic tradition, and are the treatments that we find to have most benefit for all different types of people.
“The moment you walk through the door of Mookshi, you know you are going to leave in a better personal place.”

Abyhanga Massage
Abhyanga is an ancient ritual of touch from Ayurveda — grounding, nourishing, and deeply calming. Using rhythmic, flowing strokes and customized herbal oils, this treatment supports circulation, lymphatic flow, and detoxification. It softens the body, quiets the mind, and restores what feels scattered back to center — returning you to a place of inner harmony. Heated herbal oils are chosen according to your dosha. This massage slows the aging process by nourishing skin and deeper body tissues. Lymphatic massage movements help squeeze out toxic accumulation from channels and clear energy blocks.

*Consider combining Swedhana and or Shirodhara with this session to further enhance benefits.
Foot Marma Therapy
Foot Marma Therapy is a grounding Ayurvedic treatment that focuses on activating the body’s vital energy points — known as marma points — located in the feet. This practice works to balance energy flow, calm the nervous system, and support overall wellbeing. Using warm oils and intentional pressure, specific points on the feet are gently stimulated to release blockages and encourage harmony throughout the body. Because the feet contain energetic pathways connected to major organs and systems, this deeply restorative therapy can promote relaxation, improve circulation, and invite a profound sense of grounding. A subtle yet powerful treatment, Foot Marma Therapy leaves you feeling centered, supported, and reconnected from the ground up. Includes herbal foot soak.

Shirodhara
Shirodhara is a profoundly calming Ayurvedic therapy in which a gentle, continuous stream of warm oil is poured over the forehead, specifically at the third-eye center. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, this sacred treatment is designed to quiet the mind and soothe the nervous system. As the warm oil flows in a steady rhythm, the body shifts into deep relaxation. Thoughts slow, tension melts, and a meditative stillness naturally arises. Shirodhara is traditionally used to support stress relief, improve sleep, ease anxiety, and restore emotional balance. Often described as a reset for the mind, this experience leaves you feeling clear, grounded, and deeply at peace. Combine this treatment with Abhyanga to deepen relaxation and restoration.

Swedhana
Swedhana is a traditional Ayurvedic heat therapy designed to open the channels of the body and encourage gentle detoxification through sweat. This treatment is often offered after Abhyanga massage to deepen its benefits and support the release of stored tension and impurities. Swedhana helps soften tissues, improve circulation, and ease stiffness in the muscles and joints. As the body warms, pores open and the nervous system settles into a state of calm. The experience is deeply comforting — like being wrapped in warmth — leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and renewed. Enjoy paired with another Ayurvedic treatment or as a stand alone experience.

Full Body Marma Therapy
Full Body Marma Therapy is a subtle yet powerful Ayurvedic energy treatment that works with the body’s 108 vital points — known as marma points — to restore balance and support the free flow of prana. Marma points are considered to be the junction points between the body, mind and emotions. This holistic practice bridges physical touch and energetic healing. Through intentional, sustained pressure and gentle rhythmic techniques, key marma points across the body are activated to release stored tension, clear energetic blockages, and harmonize the nervous system. Warm oils may be used to enhance grounding and nourishment. This therapy works deeply yet softly — often bringing a sense of emotional release, mental clarity, and profound calm. A full body reset that leaves you feeling aligned, spacious, and reconnected from head to toe. Warm herbal oils are used to unlock deep-seated muscle strain, clear toxins and provide a profoundly healing experience.
