Ayurveda in North East Lincolnshire: A Holistic Path to Well-being with Isabella

A deeply therapeutic caring treatment designed to nourish the scalp, and wash away tensions associated with migraine, headache and neck stiffness. It involves warm dosha-specific oils poured into the hair, aiding the nourishment of roots.

Good for: stress; strain; migraine; hair condition.
Duration: 30 minutes.
Full body with marma [vital] points (marma abhyanga)
An ancient therapy combining pressure to specific marma (vital) points all over the body and yogic stretches of all joints. The massage manipulates healthy flow of energy through the body’s junctions and nadis (pathways and channels), and delivery is personalised according to your needs.

Herbal compress massage (pinda sweda)

After warming, oil is applied to the body using the bolus and an Ayurvedic technique known as pummelling. Extremely nourishing, strengthening and rejuvenating, this treatment is great for sports enthusiasts as it addresses problems relating to weak joints and sore muscles.

The Types of Touch
Sattvic, Rajasic & Tamasic Touch in Ayurvedic Massage: Ancient Wisdom in Every Stroke
In Ayurvedic massage, touch is not just physical — it’s energetic. The type of touch used during a treatment carries a specific vibrational quality that influences the body, mind, and spirit. These qualities are described in Ayurveda as Sattvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic — the three gunas (fundamental energies) that exist in all things, including the way we give and receive touch.
Understanding these subtle differences allows the therapist to choose the right type of touch for each individual’s needs, helping to restore balance and promote true healing.
Sattvic Touch:
Calm, Healing, and Spiritually Uplifting
Sattvic touch is light, gentle, and deeply nurturing. It creates a peaceful, meditative state, bringing clarity and stillness to both mind and body. This type of touch promotes healing at a spiritual level and is ideal for those seeking inner peace, stress relief, or emotional release. It supports nervous system regulation and enhances the flow of prana (life force energy).
Isabella often uses Sattvic touch in her North East Lincolnshire clinic when treating clients experiencing anxiety, grief, or emotional burnout.
Rajasic Touch: Stimulating, Active, and Energising
Rajasic touch is faster-paced and more stimulating, with firmer pressure and brisk movements. It activates the muscles and circulation, supports detoxification, and awakens the senses. This style is useful for those who feel mentally sluggish, physically heavy, or energetically stagnant.
In Isabella’s Ayurvedic practice, Rajasic touch is commonly used to invigorate clients who feel lethargic or disconnected from their body, especially Kapha-dominant types.
Tamasic Touch: Deep, Heavy, and Grounding
Tamasic touch is slow, heavy, and grounding — often applied in deep tissue techniques. While it can help in releasing deep-seated tension or emotional holding, excessive Tamasic touch can leave a person feeling dull or fatigued, so it must be used with care and intention.
Isabella uses Tamasic techniques in a balanced way to help clients who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or trapped in overactive mental patterns, helping them reconnect with the physical body in a safe, grounded way.
