Most Relaxing Massage EVER.
Ayurvedic Wellness Centre is the only place in Sydney that offers traditional ayurvedic treatments. I stumbled across this place when googling for massages in Bondi area.
Rita, the manager, first explained what the Deep Relaxation Package (what I signed up for) entailed. She was right ---- I was in for a treat.
First, there was a head and shoulder massage in a warm treatment room, while my feet were soaked in a warm foot bath. Then I moved on to the 3000 pound one-piece wood massage table where I enjoyed herbal oil massage for 45 mins. If you are looking for a massage to untie your muscle knots, this is not the place you want to come. This kind of massage is more for de-stressing your body and mind.
After the massage, I did the Shirodhara - it is basically a warm steady flow of oil dripping down your forehead (your third eye?) continuously for 45 mins. It was SO relaxing ! I think I dozed off a couple of times.
TIP: Make sure you do not have any appointments/ dates after the massage because you would be quite "oily" (even though you would be wiped down with warm wet towels), especially for females ! I had to wash my hair three times later that night to thorouhgly clean my oily hair ! read more
