Head Massage - Release & Reset

For when your mind is still running long after you have asked it to stop.

Tension doesn’t only settle in the shoulders. It can build around the base of the skull, neck, temples, forehead, scalp and jaw — leaving you with that familiar feeling of pressure, heaviness or simply being unable to fully switch off.

This focused treatment combines massage of the scalp, head, neck and shoulders, with facial and jaw work incorporated where needed. Rather than following the same sequence every time, I adapt the session to where you are actually holding tension.

More than a scalp massage

The head and neck don’t exist separately from the rest of the body. Tight shoulders influence the neck; the neck connects into the base of the skull; stress can show up as a clenched jaw, tense temples or a forehead that never quite softens.

Depending on what I find, the session may include: scalp & head massage • neck and base-of-skull work • shoulders & upper trapezius • temples & forehead • facial massage • jaw & masseter work.

When might you choose it?

Particularly lovely for neck and shoulder tension, jaw clenching, a heavy or tired-feeling head, mental overload, long hours at a screen, difficulty switching off — or simply when you want deep relaxation without booking a full-body massage.

Oil or no oil?

Traditionally performed with a small amount of nourishing oil worked through the scalp. If needed, it can exceptionally be performed without oil. When choosing the oil treatment, please keep in mind that oil will remain in the hair after your massage.

A small area of the body can hold an extraordinary amount of tension. Sometimes working there is enough to make everything else feel quieter.
