Shirodhara Treatment Pricing

An ancient time-tested Ayurvedic treatment. Shiro means “head” and dhara means “flow” or “stream”. My Shirodhara treatment is the gentle steady flow of warm sesame oil across the forehead. The session is performed in silence and runs one hour long (plan for an extra 30 minutes for infrared sauna experience). Shirodhara pacifies VATA, the air element within the body and mind, as it calms the central nervous system.  

During a SHIRODHARA, the body is deeply settled and the protective nervous system is disarmed. In this deep stillness, the nervous system releases any stress or strain that inhibits the flow of stillness into every cell of the body. The goal is to have a pure experience of consciousness in every cell of the body. This, in turn, improves mental clarity and comprehension, as well as helping to ease a variety of ailments (see below).

The individual may experience better health, peace of mind, and spiritual progress through one’s life. Shirodhara treatment produces similar effects as that of the Yoga Nidra technique.

Book a session and have the option to order fresh made doshic-specific kitchari ($30 per quart) to keep you grounded after treatment. Kitchari, considered in Ayurveda as the perfect food, is a nourishing and digestible meal of sprouted mung beans, white basmati rice, Ayurvedic spices, cilantro, and lime. The treatment includes a take-home oil for daily self-massage as well as a bedtime tea to enjoy on the night of treatment.
