Esalen® Massage is based in the USA and has been developed over the last 50 years at the Esalen® Institute in California. Esalen® Massage is a gentle, conscious and structured touch on the whole body. Long-lasting stretching movements, light rocking and deep structural work in the muscle tissue, together with the energetic balancing of the body, are components of an Esalen® Massage. Long, slow strokes over the whole body create a mindful contact. Mental and emotional blockages can be detected, which are often unconsciously reflected in postures and movements.

Esalen® Massage has numerous positive effects on the physical, energetic and emotional perception of our clients.
