Tir na nOg - Land of Eternal Youth - Indian Champissage (Indian Head Massage)

Cost: £220 which includes DVD, training manual and textbook.
Time: 10am to 5pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Indian Head Massage (Champissage™) includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face, ears and energy balancing. This unique method is the brainchild of Narendra Mehta – known as the ‘Guru of the British Indian Head Massage Movement’. It is based on the traditional form of Champi (head massage) practised in India for over 1,000 years.
It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy. The massage is safe, simple to learn and very effective to give, without the need to undress or use oils. It can provide relief from aches and pains, stress symptoms, insomnia, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and rebalance energy flow which gives a deep sense of peace, calm and tranquillity.
This 3 day course, suitable for complete beginners and those who already have some experience of massage, leads to the Certificate or Diploma in Indian Champissage accredited by the London Centre of Indian Champissage. Alison Inglis has been personally trained by Narendra as a tutor of this wonderful and unique approach to Indian Head Massage and is the only accredited tutor of this technique in Scotland and the North of England.
